I've also always wanted to do this, but finding figures is tough.
There aren't a lot of generic suited figures out there for the base troops, and of couse, anyone unique is..um...unique.

Still I wanted some so I modified and repainted some figures just to have some, and I think it's a good start.
This was a few years back, and when I get more serious about it I'll re-do them better.  But they work as a proof, and for the ocassional bad guys.



They are all modified/painted Clix figures.

Soapy's collection was great - was gobsmacked to hear he'd sold it... not that I could ever have afforded it.... sigh...


if you find a decent Destro ( ) do share though...

I've just finished off a small Cobra force, using those Assault Group Russians for the Cobra troopers, this artizan figure with a silver head as Destro, and Miranda from this Foundry pack as the Baroness. Look pretty good with the right paint jobs.

Who was the Baroness donor figure?  I have a lot of clix.

Baroness looks like an Indy Clix Tiger Lilly.

I started a G.I. Joe project late last year, and all I have to show for it is a Not-Snake Eyes from Reaper and a Not-Storm Shadow from RAFM, that I need to do a better conversion job on. He needs bare arms, dang-it. There's a SWAT trooper wearing a stocking mask from RAFM's SWAT Grunts set that I'm planning to use for Beach Head and a bare headed SWAT Sgt. that could make a decent Duke. The big find is Victory Force Miniatures has a German Wehrwolf Half Squad in their N.E.W. War line that will make excellent Cobra troops. They already have the right helmets and face coverings. The guns almost work too.

Yup, that's her.

Those VF minis look really cool, they may indeed work for standard troopers. 
Damn, now I'm thinking about this again.
It's not like I don't have other things to do you know.
Oh well, the leadpile has waited, it can continue to wait.

Well, with apologies for the poor quality photo, here's my COBRA force:
