Is it Baron Cobra or Commander Ironblood?

I've had the Dremmel out this morning and after half an hour's intensive root-canal I now feel like a dentist.

Who needs 7 years training, all it takes is half hour and a cobra commander head that needs hollowing out!

After seeing the custom Commander last week, which turned out to a 'paint'-custom, I had to make my own.

Thanks again for the head Baron, here's my handywork:

Now thats cool! Got to have a go at that myself - as just realised I seem to have more Baron's knocking about than I'm ever going to need! I keep finding them all over the place! The Baron gets everywhere and knows everything!

Me too, when I saw the website with that pic on I thought it was a good idea but yours looks pretty cool... Got to find an Ironblood head now...

Fantastic job!

Does the helmet fit? Can we see it on, please?

Nah, the head doesn't fit inside I'm afraid.

The Baron's head is more or less the same depth as the Cobra helmet so it just ain't gonna happen.

The hollowing out, though, does give the 'illusion' that it does fit which I like!

Here's a thought, how about making the face panel removable? Not sure how you could do it, maybe a small hinge or clip? Or blue-tack?

You could always shave the back of his head and have the helmet glued on.

Baron, I love your idea of the removable face panel, but its beyond my capabilities.

Anyone care to take up the challenge?

I wouldnt want to ruin my only perfect v1 cobra commanders head... I might try it with a hooded version, there are removable hoods but im not sure what they look like, if not it might be easier to dremel out a hooded head...
