He was one of my favorite Cobras as a kid so I started working on him last November. Then he got put on the back burner. From time to time I'd get new parts from other figures and I'd start working on him again, then he'd go back in the baggies again. When I saw Hasbro was releasing him in the ROC movie line, I thought oh well, I can buy the ROC version and then use the parts that I started making my own for something else. Then I got to see a good picture of what the ROC Motor-Viper (or is it now called Moto-Viper?) looked like and decided to go ahead and finish my version. I based it very closely off of the vintage ARAH version(colors aren't exact though) and also used green stuff for the first time on him. I hope you like him as much as I do.
Here's the recipe: Helmet - Vintage ARAH Motor-Viper (dremeled out) Head - 25th Wave 1 Cobra Officer Upper Torso - 25th Desert Conditions Explosives Trooper Lower Torso - 25th Desert Conditions Explosives Trooper Upper Arms - 25th Desert Conditions Explosives Trooper Lower Arms - 25th Hiss Driver Hands - 25th Desert Conditions Explosives Trooper Vest - 25th Desert Conditions Explosives Trooper (modded with evertthing shaved off the front) Hoses on vest - 25th Para-Viper (cut off of webgear) Upper Legs - 25th TRU SRO Wild Bill Gun Holsters - 25th TRU SRO Wild Bill Knees/Lower Legs/Feet - 25th Desert Conditions Explosives Trooper Guns - 25th Copperhead (comic pack) Silver Pieces on Vest that the Hoses go into, Shoulder Pads & Leg Holster Straps - Green Stuff Paints Testors Model Master Gloss Blue Testors Model Master Flat Black Tamiya Sky Blue Tamiya Chrome Silver
