first, i'd like to thank Mr. Focus for the vehicle hookup....
with that said, upon freeing my Tele-Viper from his plastic holding cell, i fell in love....don't know why...maybe it's the color, maybe it's the flip'n sweet head sculp...i do know one thing, HE IS AWESOME!...but, (isn't there always a but with these figs) he has those hands for holding a rifle, and boots...did the classic have boots?...nope!...so off they came for some lowers that couldn't have been more accurate....off came his Viper arms and on went some modded twin/Duke arms...PERFECT, if i do say so myself...now all i need is his classic gear to mod (to fit his back hole, not that one sickos)...anybody have his pack and gun they'd like to part with?

I got mine this morning and was wondering when someone was going to do this. You going to paint his shoes purple to match? Also while youre at it, figure out a way to get the vest from rising up.

thank a lot guys...pretty simple, but very effective...
Hector, i thought about painting his shoes purplr for accuracy, but i thought, "who wears purple shoes?"...and black ones just look right, they match his belt, and we all know the shoes must match the belt, COL...as for the vest issue, the only thing i could come up with that wouldn't make his vest come un-done, was to dremel some of his chest away where the clasp is, and i really don't want to wreck him... |

God I want four of those Tele-Vipers. Very nice work. Tele-vipers didn't have padded inner thighs though, but I wouldn't bother with that detail... it's logically justifiable - those are probably standard issue cobra trousers.
I like Tele-Vipers and Toxo-Vipers more than I like Firefly, does that make me crazy? Another strange thing is I dislike the color purple. |

Great Mod Eddie! I will be doing this as soon as I score the 2pack. I'm curious...what paint did you use to match. Looks like MM Blue Angel blue. And I think this is the first time I noticed, he is missing the sigil on his sleeve...maybe he is a private contractor.
