Alley Vipers.
What sense does hot orange and blue make in war? Nonsense is what it makes. I thought instead of changing their color, embrace it. Make it a feared color for a specific group of badasses, almost neon demons. To do this, I had to illuminate their colors where I could. Alley vipers are some of my absolute favorite cobras so with this build, I wanted a fresh take , throwbacks to 1989, all while expanding the Joe Universe a little bit. In do so, I created a file card bio to better represent an expanded figure. Here is Alley Viper Commando: Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr

Okay, I'm now sold on this character/figure. As you said, the colors were ... nonsense. The version you've created is fierce-looking. I won't make comparisons to things we see in movies, as I feel that takes away from creative abilities but you've created something here that looks worthy of intimidating the heroes of any story. Just brilliant! The armor looks like armor. Really well done!

Great paint work- awesome kit. Still partial to the classic helmet, but the overall look definitely captures your new Era aesthetics. But damn that 25th Viper looks pathetic in the background

Damn that's awesome looking!!!
Definitely fierce looking while in battle. Love the use of the different helmet. I've always loved the ARAH helmet but this one you used plays really for a Alley Viper Commando. Paint skills off the hook my brother. Very real world looking. |

Thank be of the reasons I didn?t outfit my commando with a dated grapple hook, I used thrusters on his back, be it to move fast from side to side or clear buildings. Slice lemonade . Thanks for the awesome compliment man! Quote:

Dude! You took a figure that looked like it was wearing a clown outfit and made it truly respectable! THAT would send shivers down the spine of any opponent, and may make some even need a change of pants... As always, you chose the right pieces, and the paints are superior! Brilliant work making a joke into a seriously great looking menace!

WOW. Excellent work. I thought I was looking at a 6" custom with the detail you've gotten into this figure. All the more impressive at 3.75"!
