Another late night and its going to be another few days before hes done, but this guys coming along nicely so I thought I'd share.
I took Renegades Firefly's head and stuck Sci-fi's alternate helmet on him, next I tooled up a peg from a brown 30th Steel Brigade anti armor round n drilled it into the helmet (secured w/ super glue). Then, to deal with the issue of a full face plate I thought to butcher an alley viper visor as a blast shield/target computer that hinges(once drilled) on the same peg the targeting computer/aimimg device cabling connects on to; thus allowing for a little more playability and homage to ARAH HEAT viper. I put him on Airtights body as the sculpt is a great match. the harness is a cut up from Renegades Ripcord and ROC Paraviper, I drilled out the connection points and pinned them together (additional pins made from the brown anti armor rounds from 30th steel brigade) so the whole thing flexes and hinges better. black anti armor rounds (from POC steel brigade) will go around the ankle straps and i intend them to be removable like the arah version. the thick hose is from my fodder bin, i think from a custom ratfink did for me a while back and its just an accessory i never used but found it works wonders for this (shout out to ratfink; he inspired me big time). the clear tube is from hazard viper and is for cooling the weapon. I chopped a handle off a ROC launcher and fused it to the weapon for better firing/control. think im keeping his gear black, a slight departure from ARAH I think all in all I modernized him considerably while paying homage to the vinatge heat viper. I've ordered a back pack im going to modif, and im playing with some mock ups for paint aps, might post those too. anyway, should have this done this week, wish me well! let me know whatchyal think in the mean time. *****CHECK OUT THE UPDATES ON PG 2****** Last edited by Viper6; 03-30-2012 at 02:38 AM.. |

Seriously, not a single comment, question or critique? Not even someone ranting about their hate for the heat viper, did I post this on hisstank?

I like the concept, although I'd personally like for you to make a modern Fast-Blast Trooper.

hmmmm, i'll add him to the que, just for you but i have the following ahead of him (at this time, as many things effect production and hence the intended order may shift):
HEAT viper gear updates for chuckles and muskrat hydro viper w/ sea ray sub undertoe annihilator targat scoop hardball 30th cobra officer (ought to be an easy bash w/ minimal paint) fast blast viper (requested by tkprime) you provide some of the parts tk and i'll bump him up. |

Im digging it. Two Ideas that I have for you; try using the lower arms of a Techno Viper and also maybe use a strip of Sculpy down his front. Cant wait to see your finished figure.

you are heading in the right direction IMO. i like what you have done with the visor, web gear, x wing leg straps. It's nice to see someone do something different with the head cause i was annoyed with the modded chrome viper head thing going on.
keep updating your first post with new pics. KEEP IT UP!!!!! Last edited by jeff117; 03-28-2012 at 02:41 PM.. |

unless you're going to "reimagine" the helmet look...it's not a HEAT viper for me...since you're not doing a V2...although you did say WIP which means you could honestly take a picture of just about anything you're working on and say "it's gonna be THIS!" i like where this is headed though...and if you're taking requests...take a look at "laser viper"
