Cobra Trooper - GI JOE

Before Cobra started to have more specialized personnel, there were the Cobra Troopers. These men served as the basic infantrymen of Cobra. Each man swore absolute loyalty to Cobra Commander. While serving as the infantrymen of the organization, they are also cross-trained to be proficient in least two other support skills. The lot of what makes up the Trooper forces are mercenaries and criminal elements who have taken up Cobra's offer of wealth and power.


Let's start with the helmet.
This is the raw Cobra Trooper helmet as is out of the box. I sanded it down just a little to clean it up some.
As always I painted the inside of the helmet flat black.
I then primed the helmet flat black and gave it a quick rub down and then primed it black again.
I masked off the helmet so I do not get blue paint all on the inside. The helmet is now ready for painting.


Here is the helmet being painted. I will give it two, maybe three coats of paint. I am using Krylon Fusions Navy Blue.
After the helmet was painted I gooped in the helmet liner it came with. It is just made of foam with some strap and a quick release buckle. When placed in the helmet it forms a circular pattern to fit on top of your head.
