| Viper_486: Here's the finished pics of the painted master copy of our studio's 'Maintenance Tech" helmet.
Let me know what you think:
Full gallery can be seen here:
Maint_Tech
Helm will be in 2 parts, the facemask, and the main helm.
This will allow the wearer to remove the helm, and still maintain the 'faceless' look.
Facemask will be vented for ease of breathing and talking.
I did the upper helm, and cooked up the concept for the face, and Nick, one of our other sculptors, did the sculpting for the cheeks, and the faceplate.
Remember, this isn't a 'finished' one, but is the master sculpt.
A production one will look more refined, be cast out of light, durable fiberglass, and have a real smoke tinted visor installed.
-Viper 486 out. BigErn: That's looking really good man, I can't wait to see it finished. foor: AWESOME (as always). Still waiting on when your studio will reveal the Siegie helmets! ;) Viper_486: The Siegie is on hold till we get a patron who wants to buy one. :(
With everything going on, we cant afford the production costs solo.
Specially with our current big build project. darthfoley: As always, looking good.  foor: Quote:

Specially with our current big build project. | I'd buy the Siegie in a heartbeat! I've seen some pics with CG helms out there, I wonder who makes them now... BigErn: It's been a long time since I heard anything about it but how is that huge Terror Drome coming along? NeoDragonKnight: looks fantastic, great work. Viper_486: Quote:

I'd rather call Techno-Vipers for tech support than Tele-Vipers. LOL Viper_486: Televipers are on the way. ;) G.I.Eddie: looks awesome!...will the wearer be able to see out of it? Shin Densetsu: Awesome work man. Sculpting was very difficult for me back in middle school, so seeing something like this is very, very impressive. Great job! Viper_486: Quote:

Your seeing the master sculpt we'll be making the mold from.
The finished helm will be no harder to see out of than your average pair of sunglasses. G.I.Eddie: Quote:

Im 90% sure i would want one. samantha: I have to tell you, your skills in sculpting are top notch. Good job. rob0213: I may want one of these incredible things! Flame Viper: Dang man, I think I need to look into buying some of your stuff. Hopefully I can save some money and do it,
Great work. Unclassified: man this is gonna look as sick as the rest of your work. great job man.. sn8ke3y3s: Very, very cool dude! Are you going to mass produce them to sell? GhostGL: What about a CC battle armor helmet? Viper_486: Quote:
Originally Posted by GhostGL What about a CC battle armor helmet? | Well, we do plan on doing the entire uniform over the winter... ;) RolandofGilead: Your work is always, always fantastic. I keep looking at all the "Neo Viper" figures for the new movie and it always has me wishing that they'd commissioned your company to make comic/cartoon accurate classic Viper helmets. They'd look way better, and make fans happy. Frakk_mirror: Very impressive sculpt ,you can see how Gi Joe was influenced by Star Wars in the design of the helmet . Weezus: i didnt read the thread because im tired of sitting here and have to get up but if anybody knows where to get cobra helmets message me!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thats super awesome... venomous: Quote:

=o) samantha: How do I get a Crimson Guard costume? If any one knows can you please PM me? Viper_486: Quote:

=o) | LOL, I have wanted to do that suit for like 10 years now.
All the armor components will be fiberglass.
No crappy vinyl or rubber here.
Plan on doing that at the same time we start building an even bigger costume/prop... venomous: Quote:

I definetly will want to see the helmet of the CC-BA. We tried heavily modifiying a vader helmet. While the shape was pretty close, I wasn't really happy with the face details. And for the armor itself, we were looking at using 1/4 inch PVC, same stuff we use for our Mando armor around here. Viper_486: gotcha.
Yeah, ours will be sculpted and cast, old skool.
I love plastic, but I loves my fiberglass more, lol.
Am hoping to have pics of our CG helm here very soon.
Will blow that other one floating around out there completely out of the water. G.I.Eddie: Range Viper?...just a thought... Viper_486: $350 wil get you any helm you want from clay sculpt, to finished fiberglass helm, ready to wear in your hand anywhere in the USA. COL Abernathy: Holy crap! This thing is amazing! Viper_486: There we go.
Finished pics of the master sculpt.
Enjoy guys! Snake Eyes-Joe Ninja: Damn you for making DEMAND a Techno-Viper from Hasbro NeoDragonKnight: man a real cobra will spawn soon and you can supply the uniforms! Spot on! The BLAY: man that is killer!
I know my brother would love that!
hell I love it!!
not that I have the cash at this time
but what does something like that go for? joecom: Man that is really cool. Now all you need some over sized
claw arm , wrench arm , hammer arm , Gun and Backpack
Just kidding really great job CobraCrimson: Is there any way you could give a massive discount on orders of 1,000 or more to outfit my Cobra army to take over the world!! COBRA!!!!!!!!!!!!
No seriously though, looks awesome and any helmet $350 start to finish and delivered? Might have to think about getting a CG one. Maybe a Shadow Guard CG one with matching uniform? Keep reppin' Michigan too!
How about a Cobra B.A.T. or Motor-Viper? coola784: thats awesome man, great work. cant wait untill you have a whole suit to go with it too. Joe Hunter: thats monumental! are these going to be mass produced?! | All times are GMT -4. The time now is 03:09 AM. | | Cool Stuff |   | |
