Stellar Ice Viper man, making him extra frosty really adds something special with the dry brush! When I did my version years ago, I used the gray German Armyman helmet that came with the all solid gray figure, I was able to get the googles over the helmet. I used those awesome Boss Fight gray boot tops on my Arctic Scarlett but think I should circle back and get some fr my Ice Viper with how great they look on yours.

Thanks, SB, and everyone!
I have a little bit of OCD. It is the main reason why I keep revisiting my completed kitbashes. Well, here is another version of a guy that I just cannot stop tweaking, Torpedo. I think this is the third or fourth time redoing him. The first time, I just wanted a woodland version of Torpedo. I threw together some bin parts and called it a day. Then I got the OCD desire to give him face camouflage, a la Hit & Run. All the versions of Torpedo that I have made are fine in their own way, but I have not felt I have been able to make my definitive version of Torpedo. This version is closer to my vision of Torpedo than the other attempts. Now, I know it is not readily apparent in the pics, but Torpedo has a diagonal pattern on his face. You just might be able to discern the pattern slightly in picture 2. TORPEDO (Navy S..E.A.L., Woodland Gear) ![]() ![]() ![]() UPDATE: Cav Scout alerted me to the fact that Torpedo?s ears should really be painted as well as his face. I went back and dabbed a bit of dark green paint onto his ears and re-shot Torpedo. The newer updated pics are above.

Love that Torpedo, def looks like a SEAL! Dont want to nitpick but the ears should have been done with some camo as well, they kinda stand out without it

I thought about doing the ears but I was unsure if I should. Anyway, I will take your advice and paint them. Easily fixed.

Ive had soldiers that worked for me that wouldnt camo their ears because it was hard to wash off lol. Your Torpedo reminded me of them. But its a killer build by you as always
