I have wanted to find a suitable figure for this DDP character for awhile the only one that came close was New Uhura. So taken from the time Cobra Commander had her as a "slave" in DDP's Malfunction story I have painted Uhura as Armada. Any comments are welcome.
I could do with a small Cobra insignia but in the meantime painted the Federation badge to look a bit like a Cobra insignia.

she'd be lucky to hit the broad side of a barn holding that gun like that...
nice so far.

Cheers Sundance, due to her small hands that's the best she can hold that gun plus she doesn't stand for long.

She had a burgundy uniform with black shirt underneath Steve plus a belt with phaser holster which I couldn't put on her. Here is a link

Mistress Armada! That is a character I wondered why nobody had made a custom of. If not for you saying she's a custom, Ironblood, I'd have thought she was an upcoming Hasbro release!

I've always found women with unfeasibly large machine guns alluring..

For those of you who don't know who Mistress Armada is she was created by DDP and first appeared in Volume 1 during the Reinstated storyline. Her real name is Lillian Osborne she was once in the British Army until she became a mercenary and met up with Alexander McCullen, Destro's illegitimate son they both concocted a plan to reform Cobra then take it and use nanomites to cripple military tech etc. They succeeded in taking the White House until a cure for the nanomites was found, subsequently Baroness and the real Destro took them prisoner until Cobra Commander fully healed stormed the Silent Castle in Trans Carpathia and was given Alexander's battle mask and Armada.
Armada was actually working with Destro to gain secrets from Cobra Commander specifically anything to do with the Tempest device seen in The Union of the Snake arc. Originally in love with Alexander she was also his source of tactics and expertise she grew to love the power she had in the Iron Grenadiers and Cobra and became sick of him. At the end of World War III she killed Alexander and was in turn killed by the Baroness who couldn't stand her.
