Ok, so I bit the bullet and started making my first piece...

I've dismantled and cut up the back-end of a broken Cobra STUN & I've got a wooden box (15cm) and I've sprayed it all gold, I'm trying to construct a throne for an all-conquering Cobra Commander!!!

Like I said, my paint skills are bollocks so I'm not sure if I want to risk ruining it by trying to paint the detail of the console around his throne...but one thing I'm definately going to do is knock up either a small flag to hang from the front of the throne or a large flag to hang behind it. This bit will be easy as I've already bought a small Cobra patch and a large Cobra backpatch so all I need to do there is cut and sew them. Also need to buy another backpatch as I was going to use the big one for my denim jacket :D

This is the back patch >>>

That's about all I have to report right now, it's just a matter of constructing it all and showing you guys :) Hopefully be doing that soon.

Hail :cobra: !
