Was browsing Walmart's clearance section this morning for custom fodder and spotted a Green Lantern Hannu figure for 3 bucks that looked like a perfect base for a Bio Viper. Sadly the heads articulation doesn't work at all due to the figures sculpt. It only has four points of articulation swivel shoulders and swivel thighs. Anyway a bit of paint and a few hours later here's the results.
Bio Viper with Zombie Viper The figure came with a green blast which makes a decent energy blast as well. |

I did this...yours looks way better! I also tried the MCDs Ben 10 toys but they had a stupid cardboard sticker inside them and I could never get it out! Just can not find a suitable figure1 maybe after seeing yours I will go back and try again!

Its 3 layers. First color is Cobalt Blue for a base coat that I completly covered the figure in. Next is Regency Blue for a light colored blue midcoat, I drybrushed this on so the cobolt stayed in all the crasks. I finished it with a thin coat of Navy Blue Shiny clear coat. The Navy blue shiny lets light through so the undercoats can be seen through it in parts especially under a cameras flash. Actual figure is a little bit darker blue than in the pics under natural light.
