hey all. just looking for some opinions on my first 25th custom... and Ice Viper. I have used, of course, the ARAH version as a guide, but have added a few bits of accent (as i feel the original was a bit too white) and made a few small alterations. this is not complete, and i plan to fix up the paint and maybe add a bit more to it color-wise. opinions would be appreciated. here was my formula:
Head - Beachhead (when i get some red paint - currently subbing in a PP officer head) Torso/arms - Arctic Snake eyes Legs - Cobra Trooper Helmet - German soldier from Indiana Jones Webgear - Duke wave 7 Last edited by hamilcar; 05-01-2009 at 02:00 PM.. |

I like it alot! The paint looks a little thin in some places and a little too dull on the finish. Did you use any sealer or protectant? Great work for your 1st though!

no, i haven't used sealer or protectant. any recommendations on brands, etc? i still need to add another layer or two (of white especially), and touch up the brown, though. i think part of what makes it look a little rough at the moment is that i scraped off some of the not-entirely-dry paint when i put it back together to take photos. was in a hurry to get some ideas on whether i was maligning the original design or anything.

Oh, now that is cool (pun intended), especially since it's your first custom. Great execution on it.

changed up the pictures in the first post to reflect something closer to the final product. just a few touch-ups, a cobra symbol and a glossy sealer and that should do it.
