I like her better without the vest, too. You can't really tell she's a girl, with it on. That's fairly realistic, though. Those big bulky vests tend to do that.
If you got a hobby shop nearby, you can get some chrome Monokote. If they've got the trim strips, you can get them fairly cheap. The full size rolls cost a bit more. You've got to stretch it a little, to get it to sit flat, on the Viper's face plate. A heat source helps for that. It's easier than tracking down chrome Viper heads, and a little more durable than Hasbro's vac metal plating. Here's a refference pic, with a BAT, Viper, and a Cobra Comander I had to rechome with the stuff, along with a factory chromed Destro. |

Looks very good and clean. I would add some red on the inner things though.

Nice job and great use of that body! I did the same wit my extras wit the first mold about a year & 1/2 ago. Sold/traded them at the con to a dealer . I bet u can sell that one for a great $ too! Great paint apps right on the money!
I'm sold on it bein a female but, a pony tail out the back of the helmet or even a removable helmet would put this one as "sexy" lol. Again nice work! |

Great job DOC. I agree she does look beteer without the vest, but then again the vest is part of the Viper uniform, wahtever ,it's removeable. Only suggestion would be some red paint on the inner thighs to complete the look. Good job man.
