Like many others, I picked up a few of the "back door" Alley-Vipers myself. Upon getting my hands on one, I went to work making minor improvements to better suit my tastes. Weathering, scuff marks, etc. really bring out this character more so, imo.
I did have to slice a little off the bottom of his helmet, on one side, because it was a little lop-sided - no biggie though. I also removed the sniper scope from his SMG, since it makes no real sense anyway and trimmed down the HUGE magazine. I then painted a few specific parts on his pack, which makes a world of a difference. No major upgrades, at least not yet, but you be the judge so far - |

Thanks guys. I've never been a big fan of the orange, so I might have to paint one up in more subdued urban colors. It's a very cool fig from the start, but he has a lot more to offer imo.

Excellent mod! He looks like a battle hardened viper. Thanks for the photo of the 2 handed hold on his weapon as that matters a lot to me as I like displaying my figures in firing positions

Great paint job! Would love to see your take on the Alley-Viper with a more subdued colour schme, always liked the figure, but I could never get past the day-glo orange (it only works as camouflage if the opponents are all on LSD ).
