[Project name] S.A.W. Viper II Night Assault Special mission
[materials] "Emil Blonsky" plus incl. machine gun(2008, Hulk); Alpine v.3's backpack; unknown Star Wars 3.75 figure's helmet This is my first submitted custom project. Frankly, I don't consider myself a custom genius, and I don't have much money or time to be spent on customized figures. The background behind this figure was that I've always been looking for 2006 ver. S.A.W. Viper, but it was hard for me to get one as I am outside US border. The cost for one single mailed figure is expensive and I'd rather skip the hassle. YOJOE.COM | Cobra S.A.W. Viper I got the Hulkbuster figures when I was shopping in Hong Kong, and I knew that "Emil Blonsky" used SAW VIPER's parts except the head. That motivated me to make my own ver. of Saw Viper. In the beginning, besides the machine gun & "Emil Blonsky", I borrowed the backpack from Alpine v.3(2004) to begin the customization. Ref: YOJOE.COM | Alpine Later on, I got a loose star wars jet pilot for HKD29(~US$4) last night, and I took the helmet and painted it black. I knew this ain't the perfect choice but this's the best available resource I can deploy with. The eye shade's yellowish translucent; however, it's better to leave translucent eye shade instead of painting it in solid green from my point of view. Therefore, I only painted it black with some silver edge. |

FINAL PRODUCT (considered 90% done)
Frankly, I don't really like to paint the vest in reddish purple, and I prefer black to other colors 'coz black, carbonic grey and silver give a modern look than other color in my opinion. So, I decide to name this as S.A.W. Viper II Night Assault Special Mission. I knew the machine gun owed the ammo clip, but I gonna replace it with one from another 3.75 US soldier figure; in addition, that figure has the identical gun with a tripod, and I'm considering to use that to substitute the original; all I owe by now was a small cobra icon tag sticker to cover the original sticker on "Emil Blonsky"'s right bicep. Comment? In addition, if your guys like my custom figure, I'm considering to use 25th anniv. figure to start another S.A.W. Viper project. Last edited by kotaro; 08-02-2010 at 08:40 AM.. |
