I thinking of making a 25th style Sand Viper but I'm have trouble thinking of parts to use. I'm thinking of using the head from the sand viper, Ver.34 Snake Eye torso, upper leg and lower legs from Tomax/Xamot but that as far as I got.
Anyone got any suggestion?

yep I'm planning on that too should be easy enough to cut the head off, drill a hole, and use the hot glue technique to make it compatible. The helmet is way too cool to throw out. I've bought the sand viper a few time just for the helmet They fit good on most 25th figs.

The choice for torso and legs are excellent, and about as good as you can hope for... I'd say this is one figure that doesn't need to be accurate to its original counterpart. The torso you chose would make an excelent update to the figure. Without modification through sculpting there aren't any appropriate parts if you just wanted to make a straight update to the Sand Viper. I don't think that's a bad thing.

I would use the serpentor torso instead. the only reason I say this is that the V34 SE torso doesn't look much like a desert survivalist getup. The serpentor torso with the right paint ap would look more like a fremen still suit and then all you would need are the arms correct? I am actually thinking of para-vipers arms, they're the closest to arm pads I've seen without having crappy wrists. I don't have these figs in front of me or I'd try it myself. I think I may pick up a serpentor and para-viper to try it on. I was always a fan of the Sand Viper

Thanks I know 100% is next to impossible i just hope to make something that look convening Quote:

Humm... Serpentor I hate that fig so much that I didn't even think about that. His upper chest would work out very well. I see what your saying about the para-vipers arms. I was thinking of using the regular viper and just fixing and painting the wrist.
