The fence: WWF Cage
The doors, gun cockpit & platform:
Star Wars scrap
The cannon: Thrown away model


This playset happened because I found a discarded & unfinished model at the junkyard one rainy morning.

After painting it with several different colored washes, I glued on a Darth Vader's cockpit & a platform I took out of an R2-D2 carrying case.

I now had a big gun sitting on a shelf.

I then scrounged around the parts pile & grabbed some other toy pieces I hadn't figured out a use for & one by one, the outside of the Cobra Testing Facility fell into place.

I finally made good use of the discounted Cobra Mountain playset, by applying some of it's stickers on & around the cannon.

I intend to add on to this diorama, as appropriate pieces come into my possession.

For now, it has been both a good place to display my customized Cobra troops as well as an interesting background for shooting pictures of new custom figures.

To teach, improve, share, entertain and showcase the work of the customizing community.
