Started out with some body work, knees were so loose it was a joke so those as well as the shoulders & neck were tightened up considerably to hold any pose.
Trimmed elbow joints to eliminate paint rub, sanded shoulders a little as well.
Once it was all together I sanded out all the mold lines & even the joining halves of the upper legs.
Next was paint, this all started with complete coverage of an all black base coat so everything you're seeing was painted on by hand/brush.
No factory paint or plastic can be seen.

Blueshirt Commander/Cobra Ferret ATV Driver
CODE NAME: Commander Conall
Real Name: Kion O'Fianne
Birthplace: Derry, Ireland
Primary Military Specialty: Military Tactician/Strategist
Secondary Military Specialty: Mercenary
Commander Conall came out of Ireland's South Derry Independent Republican Unit which was an Irish republican guerrilla unit that operated during 1973–1978
Conall was lured to and joined COBRA shortly after leaving the SDIRU in 1977
As one of COBRA's first Blueshirts from way back in the earliest beginnings, he worked his way up the chain of command quick under the watchful eye of the organization's leader.
If you're a Blueshirt or Viper, you answer to him.
His present position holds him responsible for troop deployment and overseeing field strategy efficiency and effectiveness.
Moving around in the battle field is an essential part of his job, his vehicle of choice - COBRA's Ferret ATV.
He can get to where he needs to be to oversee operations as well as help out the troops in battle when needed while on his ride.
Just for fun...
