Straight forward, but beautifully executed. Clever head choice, too.

I always thought that HEAT Viper had a neat look to him, ruined by the bright colors. If he had been in Cobra blue it would've been much better, I think. But good job!

Love what you did with BC Heat Viper! Wow the head is a nice translation and the bright green is great! So glad you kept the black hips! 1st time I think I have seen anyone tackle this guy!

And I always hated the different colored waist. He’s an anti tank trooper, not a superhero.

That green looks amazing. Your painting skills are top notch. I’m looking at the joints and I don’t see ANY schmutz or peeling. Wonderful job. I’m actually quite jealous. It’s uncanny how much that the Fortnite head looks like a H.E.A.T. Viper. Perfect interpretation.

When I have a minute I’ll drop the parts on a regular blue, gray or green MTF guy to show a more toned down look. Quote:
Was surprised to only see like one or two on google when I searched for him after finishing my custom. I figured he’d wasn’t super popular but thought a few more customizers would have taken a shot at him. Quote:
It might be more that the head sits low than the size of it. Will have to look at it again, size didn’t stick out to me when building him but I definitely noticed the MTF peg went deep into the head so it sat lower. Haha, I always took the black to be armor so I figured he was just protecting himself over his bright green suit. Thanks, I appreciate it! Really loving this one! Quote:
Yeah, definitely worth the $7 or so I paid for the figure now that I see how great the head worked, now I just have to do something fun with the base figure. That paint job is great! How did you get that color green?[/QUOTE] Thanks! It’s a Marauder original tan camo figure as the start, two coats of eggshell to brighten it up & cover the tan and then some coats of this craft store Granny Smith color paint. Pretty sure it’s “Nicole’s” brand that I got from AC MOORE before they closed. Was bright once I was done painting, then the matte spray sealer I use gave him a shine & brightened it up a little more. Really pops off the shelf. I love it! Haha. Quote:
——— As always, I appreciate all the comments, everyone! This was always a figure design I loved so cool to see how much everyone enjoys how the custom came out!
