Went to Lake Melones this weekend and snapped some pics with Desert Cobra Officer and Zartan (not together, though... Didn't think they really pair up well).

Ohhhh, Zartan's there alright! He's disguised as the water bottle!!

Nice shots if it weren't for that water bottle.

Nice to see him in his element.

I just got a few extra parts from a seller on Ebay...including sand bases to go on the bottom of Sideshow diaply stands, but they are different than the regular ones that came in the Tusken Raiders or the pair of Desert Cobra Troopers...anybody know where the "better" base is from?

The better one is a lighter color and covers the ENTIRE base.

Here's a comparison:

Here's a comparison:

It could be from the Darth Maul Probe Droid set, the Exclusive of that release came with two Sand disks, one for the probe's stand and one for Maul.
There's also the one that comes with the Deluxe Desert Sands Sandtrooper, but that one is also the smaller sand disk that doesn't cover the entire base.

Nope, have both. Neither has the sand up the back of the stand. Could it be from one of the older WWI/WWII figures?

Been wanting to do a "wounded escape scene". This is what I've come up with so far....

Lots of interesting environments because the water level was really low. Hope you like 'em!

where are the Zartan shots?

would be better if his gun started off not empty then was empty at the end...
get a spare uniform or atleast a shirt & get some blood in there... would look amazing with a bloody drag trail as he's being pulled along!

I agree! These weren't in any real order or trying to tell a cohesive story, but getting a uniform and cutting it up, adding some blood (I'm thinking thigh wound) would work! Drag trail is a great idea!!!!!

Thanks for the support!

Putting together a Scarface figure to go with my desert troops. I still have parts coming in from Hong Kong & Black Ops, but for now, at least I have a uniform and mask for him. I kinda like him having the Robinson Arms rifle that belongs to Hawk (I prefer Hawk with that big-*** .357 Magnum), because it kinda separates him from all the guys holding AK's.
