Haven't been in a painting mood for some time now, but I did start a blog for this project here:
http://80spulp.blogspot.be/

And did some conversions for it ( a few more on the blog):

Kobra base commander. A higher ranking blueshirt character:

Chuckles:

Freds (identical looking elite guards undercover):

No painting progress but a few more conversions:

The "Freds" have infiltrated all layers of society, including the police forces. Using generic last names like "White" or "Smith" and serving in different units, you would never know there are so many of them, while allowing them to trade places or provide alibi's without being caught.
A few gaps still to fill properly and tidy up. All models from West Wind's Roadkill range, with Fred heads. The police caps on the two models in the middle were taken from the original heads of the figures and added to the Fred heads.

It's not just the grunts though. This Fred is posing as a wary "I've seen it all" police detective in civilian clothing. He can use his position to lead unsuspecting real police officers into a battle against the good guys when they show up in town.
Donor body for this one was a Heresy Miniatures figure.

After seeing someone else's idea the base figure for this conversion painted as the speech-impaired "weaselish" Kobra pilot, I was inspired to do the same, with a few additional greenstuff augmentations. I think it came out quite well. The original figure and head are from my privately commissioned range, so I may throw this one in a mould to have some extra copies.

Details inspired by this custom action figure I found on the web: http://www.evilface.com/evilscustoms/12inchers/wild_weasel.htm

Nice work - the pilot is quite well done, the g-suit is bang on.

Another few conversions for the Joe side of things. These i-Kore Viridian commandos (available from Scotia Grendel) are pretty much spot on for this character. All I did was remove the original guns and replace them with something more suitable. Sizewise they fit well with my other figures.

The first one was holding his weapon in a way that seemed perfect to replace it with the board he comes with. The board is plastic card, covered with greenstuff. I deliberately left the greenstuff a bit
rough in order to show the wear and tear.

The second one had his gun swapped out for a more appropriate one from The Assault Group and then tidied up with some greenstuff. Third one simply had the gun removed. I may add another Assault Group gun to him, when I decide how to use him (seated or lying down).

Man...who doesn't want to wake-board into combat with a shotgun and machete? Answer: nobody.

Great choice of figure matched with lovely conversion creates perfect copy.
Simples.

Sorry, couldnt resist as I saw Meercat rather than Muskrat at first glance....

Born out of a noble family that can trace it's lineage back for centuries, this bespectacled femme fatale chose to throw in her lot with the world's public enemy number 1, the would be dictator and terrorist leader known as the Commander of Kobra. As clichés go, she is as beautiful as she is dangerous and twice as devious.

Seen here with some elite operatives from the terrorist organisation:

The light was bad, so I may take some better pictures when it clears up. The skin especially lost all contrast. I didn't paint anything for ages either and it shows.

No frontal pictures because the model is hard to photograph from that angle and none came out well.

Nice work. Is that a conversion or a custom sculpt?

white knight · « **Reply #41 on:** February 09, 2017, 01:16:31 PM »

It's a custom figure. Just at the mastercasting stage at this point.

Kev White? That looks like a Hasslefree-grade backside to me.

Not quite, although I do see your point.
