So... picked up my 1st 30th fig the other day & if any of U guys R familiar w/ my work or my methods - I've said it many times B4... no figure is safe or sacred around me... I started kitbashin' as soon as I opened it & sat down @ my workbench - the concept for this guy is a group of specialized Vipers (T.A.C. = Tactical Assault Commando) who would B attached 2 Firefly squads - in a fire team supportive role... they have X-trainin' as Alley Vipers & Range Vipers w/ some demolitions thrown in the mix...
Here is the link to view my fan fiction story I'm developin' for this unit... http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...s-journal.html RECIPE = Base Fig : 30th Cobra Trooper Head : PoC Jungle Viper w/ Bravo Team "Delta" styled helmet Lower Legs : 25th Crimson Guard (I love the "jackboot" look) Feet : Captain America (Target comic 2-pk. w/ Crossbones) Gear : Vest = RoC Duke w/ front holster/pistol & rear packs added from fodder bins --- Belt = 30th Cobra Trooper cut from webgear Weapons : 30th Cobra Trooper pistol & silencer --- modded MP45 from Bravo Team Paint : Testors Model Master acrylics - German Uniform Feldgrau, Flat Black, Silver, Gloss Red & clear red acrylic gel paint (over silver) on the goggle lenses --- I wanted a paint scheme that was evocative of WW II Nazi troops...

dude, this is nice.. i would much rather see some cooler colors to make him stand out, but it looks great. the grey makes him to bland though, but the figure itself looks great.

oh these will blend nicely with PoC fireflys
i like that the head disturbs me. though i'm tempted to nick name this one "sith viper" (trademarked!) because he looks a bit darth maul-ish i do like this...i'd like to see a few though, maybe with them being so elite they "individualize" themselves with slightly altered paint schemes on their helmet well done though...oh where's his pack? |

Thanks 4 all the supportive comments & the honest critiques... it is a simple recipe & I have an extended plan in the works 2 flesh out some more of these guys for a complete "fire team" along w/ a couple Firefly customs & a couple vehicle customs (w/ specialized Viper drivers for this unit) - @ least 1 diorama - along w/ a "fan fiction" short story (War Journal style) to REALLY round out this new breed of Vipers... so all in all, I will probably troop build 4 T.A.C. Vipers (each [I]slightly[I] different - 2 Firefly customs - 2 Viper drivers - an armored Zodiac patrol boat - an off-road truck - a GOOD sized dio & have a short story 2 put it all in perspective & give it some substance...
