I wanted to make this as accurate as Damon's originals, and use the reflective visor as seen in the card art that I created. The Hall of Heroes Viper head was perfect (the helmet is glued to the chrome head and is easily separated.
Parts used: Head- random GI Joe figure that fit in side the hollowed out Hall of Heroes Viper helmet and chrome face mask. Torso and upper arms- Scrap iron forearms- spring loaded ninja attack Snake Eyes hands- found in fodder lot upper legs-Cobra Viper lower legs- B.A.T. backpack- ROC Duke with bedroll made from cloth gun- (as with the original ) Marauder John's NVR I like the idea of a removable helmet and the Hall of Heroes Viper head was a perfect fit. Since most of the pieces were black, it made it easy to not have to paint the joints. Alan "Kane429" Kaplan, Tri State Viper figure I used the same construction on this Tri State Viper figure as the previous but changed the head. Head came in a fodder lot set, so I do not know who it was made by originally. Glasses were hand made with wire and model cement. MP5K added to the first and this TSV figures. MP5K from Cobra Shock Trooper with custom made sling strap, masking tape. I made this for my friend Alan, who is leaving for California in a couple of months for his job.

No critiques? I guess I hit this one out of the park. The helmet is two pieces and the face plate is hollowed out (not easy to see in the picture), so that there is no head swapping. The face plate fits on the figures head and the helmet then goes on.

Like how you made him. Is he supposed to head your Viper Corps?

Awesome job on that TSV Ripper.. This is easily the best paint scheme ever created for the Viper mold!

Looks nice. Sometimes I miss cool customs when they're first posted.

I really like the forearms. Not sure why they didn't adapt them for the modern Viper. I dig the BAT lower legs too. Did you keep the same knee or use a knee pad from someone else? Honestly the pics are too small and on the dark side to really read into this one. Looks bad @ss overall, but I am not even sure what a Tri-State Viper is.
