Howdy, y'all.
Since my last submission, someone asked for more detailed photos. I'm still working on bits and pieces for each figure, but decided to stop and give y'all a detailed shot on one of my current projects, Komodo (my black Cobra agent) in his Python Patrol uniform. His subtitle is "Python Patrol Flight Officer".

Unlike most of the individual/named Cobras (i.e., Baroness, Firefly), Komodo worked his way through the ranks, even supporting the Commander's then-fledgling agency as a teenager. By the time of Python Patrol (and Cobra Commander's return to power), Komodo had already earned his wings as both a Gyro-Viper
and Aero-Viper
.
He had just met the requirements to become an Officer when Python Patrol (and its chapter of the Crimson Guard
) came a-calling. (This is why is flight suit's colors are largely based on those of the Python Officer
. Only a select few know of his dual status as a Python Crimson Guard, and of its secondary mission to report infractions within Python Patrol to the Commander.)

Fun fact: the olive color used on Python Officer's belt and harness is the same as 1982 Zap. (Which is a lucky break for me since I'd already discovered and used such a match on
Firewalker.)
The legs are undone as I haven't found a match for Python Copperhead's shade of green. Once I do, I will finish work on the (mostly outer) legs and paint the yellow pattern (likely at 65 deg. angles) on the still uncoated shoulder straps and wrist gauntlets.
I'm undecided as to whether I should paint the 4 pockets on the flight suit in black or yellow (same shade as the gloves).In the meantime, let me know what you think (and tell me if you think those pockets should be black or yellow).
