I always had a soft spot for the old Special Mission Brazil set, and when I received a modern Hasbro Tele-Viper vest as fodder, an idea for a Claymore build soon became an obsession. I gave up on the tiny vest and went a totally different route, and I'm really pleased with where I ended up! Here's a closer look at that vest--a modified Marauder "type 86" with a buckle from some Japanese WW2 webgear, plus a lot of sculpting near the bottom. Here's a look at some other angles. And here's a hint at things to come... --Erik |

Thanks! Like I said, it became something of an obsession.

I went ahead and prepped a Tele-Viper build with the same vest modification, but it'll probably take me months to get to him. There's a long line.

Pretty good looking custom man. colors are nicely done my only critique would be the eyeballs. in my opinion that can make or break a custom
Let me preference this is constructive and in no way meant to be disrespectful

I appreciate the feedback. I may go in and fix that right eye especially. It's funny how something looks great to the naked eye, but when you photograph it the flaws come right to the forefront!
