Not content with ruling the entire world, Cobra Commander has set his sights on outer space! Piloted by highly trained Star-Vipers, this new fighter — Codenamed Nemesis — extends Cobra Command’s grasp to the stars.
I painted a Kihraxz fighter from the X-wing Miniatures Game over the past couple of days. I wanted to come up with a color scheme that would look nice, and it occurred to me to try the common colors used in a lot of old Cobra vehicles from the early 80s G.I. Joe toy line. I think it turned out rather well.
The Cobra insignias on the side didn’t turn out as well as I’d like. I created them using water-slide decal paper I purchased for my laser printer. The decal material is very thin and transparent, and the dark blue background of the ship overpowered the thin layer of toner that was printed onto it. To remedy this I tried to hand-paint parts of the Cobra symbol so that they would show through the decal. It worked quite well, but my estimates on the size of the logos was not quite spot on.

I wish my smartphone could take better quality photos. So much of the detail is lost in these images.
I like this color scheme and I may try it out on more ships.
