That would be cool but Hasbro is backwards on the ParaViper they have exta lens on his helmet. Alpine doesnt have a lens. WTF and what is goofy?

Yeah, I'm not happy with the hands either. The fact he can only hold a weapon in his right hand is bad enough, but the gauntlets not moving makes it a lot worse. Paint job's good though.

Badgumbo, your Alpine looks really nice. I didn't want to paint mine, but I would probably try what you did by using Beachhead arms if I get a hold of another set of Alpine arms and Beachhead arms.

I hate to sound like a whiner or be a nuisance, but my office computer filters out any photo that isn't hosted directly on this site; would either of you chaps be able to show me your modifications by attaching the image to the thread itself? (Does that request even make sense?)
Otherwise, I can wait til I get home late this evening to check it out. I'm just really anticipating seeing what modifications you guys did, since I'm already hearing that they look really good. |

Thanks Nighthawk. Don't get me wrong, the production piece was really nice for what we got and I initially did the same thing you did, but opted to reposition the gauntlets on a second Alpine using some different arms and new hands...I hate those Snow Job hands.

The gauntlets, really haven't bothered me. If anything, I'd pry off the one on his right arm, and glue it on at a different angle. I've got mine holding a Marauder MP7, with no problems. It's the crap over his shoulders, that annoys me. I'm seriously thinking about cutting those off, and sculpting new padding onto his shoulders.

All I did was match the green, paint up a set of SnowJob spare and swapped them out. I don't mind them not being there.

I just put beachead forearms on him and superglued the gauntlets to his regular hands. Now the gauntlets can turn with the hand and he has full motion there. The paint on his hands and the color of beacheads forearms are almost identical so you don't need to paint anything!
