Re: Cobra Commander (Krake) Build...

Nice job guys! Hyper, I saw the painted helmet on Facebook, looks really good! Now all that's left is the visor!

Hope Hyper doesn't mind me bumping this thread:

Now please offer any critique you may have. He has offered to repaint any areas I think may need a color change, etc.:thumbsup

That's fantastic!!! Which color CC costume were you going to do? I don't think the blue looks bad at all, might need a touch darker, but the paint job looks great .

Get those vents cut out or painted black on what would be cut out so they look functional and not just a add on. I would go with a tad darker but but overall I think it looks great

Impressive to say the least, outstanding build work. Can't wait to see it all finished.

Re: Cobra Commander (Krake) Build...

Hey, a little help request. I'm wondering how to get the red detail on the collar. What are my options? Can I go to a fabric store and what fabric should I purchase to line the collar in red? Can I use just fabric glue or should I learn how to sow?

 

[Allfate]

I'm not sure that would look right if you glued it in place, but at the same time sewing (from what I understand) isn't as easy as it would seam...(intended pun ). Did you have someone make the jacket for you? I thought you were you g for the body armor version of this costume without the military jacket??

Re: Cobra Commander (Krake) Build...

The collar is present, even when Krake is wearing the armor. I have three mock turtlenecks, one red, blue, and green and was hoping I could tinker with one. I may have to wait to see how the armor rests on my body to determine whether I can use a collar even I guess.:confused

Unless you plan on getting in to farming I wouldn't bother learning how to sow.:lol Learning how to sew, however, would be a good thing and probably the best way to go with what you're wanting.

That helmet is looking awesome! Hyper, how did you get the chrome finish on the visor? Crabra, I would sew not glue. As far as type of fabric, not really sure, I'd just go to a fabric store, picture in head and try to find something that closely matches.

Dude thats awesome! I'm still in the research phase for my Cobra Commander/Crimson Guard, I really love that helmet. You do deadly work

All credit goes to Steven and Daniel on this great costume!

Re: Cobra Commander (Krake) Build...

That is a wicked helmet and build. I had no idea that the comics were still so popular. IDW seems to have magic fingers when it comes to GI joe and G1 transformers.

Re: Cobra Commander (Krake) Build...

thats looking really good. awesome work on the helmet. the pecks could be more defined. yours are kinda square. cant wait to see the final.
