Really digging the added Japanese Officer belt with the holster glued on. It looks fantastic! Then the orange tone on the quad lenses makes them pop nicely and that's a really nice touch. Breaker looks solid as well, never thought the silver holster would look so good with that green. Great work!

Building of paokole?s arctic team pics, here is my final version of the Snow Serpent. I did not put the neck fur on this guy just cuz the neck fur pi**ed me off while I was painting it. So, f*ck the neck fur. I hope it dies a slow, painful, and humiliating death from Lou Gehrig?s disease.

It looks good without the fur, like it's an alternate version of the standard uniform. And the fur parts you kept are wonderfully painted.

You are crushing it still finding new ways to use the original MTF builds! Love the snow serpent, those pilots are badass and Crystal Ball??seriously?! So many that I need to go back through the pages and take closer looks at but you are on fire!

Next up is the Viper. I love the design and colors of the original figure. I debated for a good while over which arms to use. I really like the red armor pads on the Elite-Ops forearms, but I also wanted to try to get more vintage accurate. Then I tried the rolled up forearms. That looked fine and I was just gonna go with that, but I ultimately went with the T-Shirt torso as I felt it made the Viper look a tad more buff. Plus when I get another Viper together, I can make him African-American and have another example of diversity in Cobra
COBRA VIPER (V1): 1986 This last pic is my Viper before I fiddled with him. This version of the Viper is still awesome. TWEAK TIME! I got tired of my Firefly not having a camo balaclava, so I painted one. Okay, the colors are way off, but I’ve come to terms. Two more new Firefly pics are on page 1 of this thread. FIREFLY (V1): 1984

That's a good looking Viper Rob, really like the photos for comparison. I'd go with the t-shirt look because of the skin showing, closer to the OG and it just looks a bit nicer. Great camo pain on that Saboteur balaclava, that's a fantastic build!
