Jeep is a Stinger with custom decals. Mamba Men are Firefly torso and heads, Baroness arms, Shadow CG crotch and Dial Tone legs with some custom decals. Mamba Men commander is the same except for Flint legs and dyed airborne arms.

thanks for taking the time to look.

thanks for the comments and yeah, I see what you mean SD but without them they really werent at all snake like, either here or in the comic... it took a few goes until they looked acceptable to me - wanted to re-create their look from the comic and couldnt find a way other than a transfer taken from the comic scan... without the mouths the heads looked very much like the original DW cybermen...
