I agree with paokole and like what you did here bub. The German Winter guys will come back, no need to just make it one of those guys when you have something cool & unique right here! ;-)

Took a second stab at the Snow Serpent. Went very traditional with this attempt. Not 100% done with this guy but I wanted to show the path I am taking with him. I am unsure as to whether or not I am going (by the way, if you notice how proper I am writing, it is because I absolutely hate the fact that question marks appear on all contractions) to paint the fur bracers white or the collar gray. Also, I think I am going to use the Arctic Camouflage MTF body. I know Snow Serpent did not use any camo, but I just really like that body and it just feels more arctic than the Ghost-Ops body. I just happened to find that little parachute on a BBI Elite Force figure.

Those Snow Serpents are fantastic! I think I agree with you about the replacing the ghost ops with the arctic camo body. Is the helmet part of the head sculpt or a separate piece?

funny, I find that I prefer the ghost ops body to the arctic camo...
That Snow Serpent is fantastic, though. |

I really like the Snow Serpent Rob.
The blue you chose compliments your vision on him. I’d buy that as a variant . One suggestion if you can do it, Can you match the shadows on the arm guards to the neck wrap?

Oh, sure. I will. This particular neck wrap was just borrowed from my Frostbite ( actually the torso is borrowed from my TGin-Zu custom). I am waiting for another wrap from Vitruvian Armory and I will get it matched up. Also, the blue isn?t quite done either. I have ordered a blue harness rig from the Marauders website and will darken the blues to match the harness.

That is slick, I need like 10 of those. I enjoy seeing how you use the MGR parts to build these.

On his goggles , the inner ridge where black meets blue, dilute grey with water , thinning it, and touch where black meets blue about 3/32 in to the blue and go around the Goggles messy. Uneven in spots. Let it dry and that will give you a frosted look around the goggles.
