Great work mate, I love Alpine and maybe this doesn't scream Alpine to me....but I see your intention totally!!!! Great update and I really like this!!!

[Spectre]

Very well done Sir!

[Superjoe74]

It's a very cool mountaineer.

[nighthawk]

It's very cool. The mask doesn't scream Alpine. If you can make it somehow removable and use the SpyTroops Alpine's head under it, I think it would be that much cooler.

[england joe]

I was kind of going for a high altitude alpine where he could need oxygen.
Thanks for your comments

Dude, You're getting really good at paint! Is the breather removable? Or do you have another head without the mask?

The breather is set, i do have another that i could paint an put on just not had the time an its kind of ok (the other head) if you know what i mean.

[england joe]

just finished the other head for alpine. What do you like 1 or 2 head

[lowlight27]

Tough Call, I like them both! But, I like the originalty of the mask. The unmasked is cool as well, but the eye throws me off in the up close pic. I think Starbuck has a cool trick when painting eyes.

[england joe]

Thanks i,ll check it out. Eyes are a pain in the arse

[jumbokarakuchi]

nice paint job

[blackbarn]

Interesting custom. Different, but still what Alpine needs to be.

[Hrothmeir]

Very cool! Stands up well on its own, technically wise, and also is a GREAT update of the original character...

[england joe]

Thanks guys
I could do with some help though, i need some constructive critacism, for example should i go more arah? paint work how could it be better? or nice concept but it doesnt do it for me?
do i need to use purity spray?
I hopee some of the top class front pagers and moderators could give me a few tips, after all they have seen a few customs in their time.
Please help

[Daver]

Hell yeah,now that's an alpine !
Love the camo paintjob.
I'd go for the head with the breathing mask,it looks cooler. ;-)

[punchitchewy80]

thats a good update for alpine great camo apps is that based on the uk dpm? i like the different heads but the breather mask does it for me i also like how all his webbing fits snuggly. i have the dvd pack alpine but i think its a horrible figure and is in my to do list then i can sell him on and get rich quick.

Nice work.

[england joe]

Thanks guys
I try my best, still could do with lots of advice to get them perfect or is perfection a personal choice?

[Storm]

Realy like this one. Don't scream Alpine on first look but its very cool modernized version which I would like to see in retail.
Very good job!!

[CliffSteele]

That looks GREAT! Is there an alternate head w/out the respirator? The respirator is cool idea, btw.

[brock Samson]

I don't know why I never put those accessories together when seeing them. The duffle/grappling hook and the ice pick for a climbing hook. I think the choice of skydive/ripcord arms and legs are good. You got me thinking of t shirted torso with a well suited webgear that would work as well.

Yes if you look further down on page 1 their is an alternative head, eyes arent great bit of shakey hand syndrome.

[Sector_15]

I really like this. It has realism. I really like the masked head. Where's it from? I'd love to see your customs with a background I think they'd look really cool.

[nighthawk]

I like the second head. It looks good. Now go and customize a respirator to fit...LOL! Seriously, looks good.

I was thinking to mod lifelines air breather to fit the head but i,m saving it for a later custom.
Cheers for the great comments

[DarkHorse]

This is the best Alpine I think I've ever seen. All other Alpines looks retardedly cartoony. I like this real world version.

Keep both heads, maybe go round the eyes of the unmasked head with a black wash.

[TR1ER]

Yes this one is tight!

Awesome comments thanks guys

Personal, but if you want advice, dont be afraid to ask a fellow customizer, Ratfink has youtube videos to help and Cloud Strife has great painting tips. Both have Facebook pages that you can comment on and ask questions. Also feel free to join us on og13.com and | The Fighting 1:18th! (http://www.fighting118th.com/)

We'd be happy to also discuss your customs and help with perfecting you're techinique. I enjoy your paint apps on this Alpine. Also invest in a light box for photos you can make one for less then $10 US. Strobist: How To: DIY $10 Macro Photo Studio (http://strobist.blogspot.com/2006/07/how-to-diy-10-macro-photo-studio.html)
Another tanker told me to always paint during the day and to also thin my paints a little before application. Take risks! you can always add layers!
