I completed this custom back in July of 2009, but for some reason never posted it here. I guess I just forgot? Anyway, he's in my new dio story so I wanted to post him.
This is my custom 25th Wet-Suit. Originally I started him before the “Assault On Cobra Island” pack was even announced. I got the idea from Mysterious Stranger’s version. I was also going to stick with the black and gray color scheme as MS did, but he just looked too much like Torpedo in my hands. So I did some more searching the web for ideas. That’s when I found ulta8294’s custom wetsuit on the hisstank forum. It gave me lots of ideas including exactly what paint to use for the green. You can view it here. I loved the custom web gear but I didn’t like the way the web gear fit with the molded pouches and such on the shoulders, so I sanded them off of mine. Here’s a comparison of mine and the crappy version from the Assault on Cobra Island Battle Pack. Parts: Torso and upper legs – 25th Chief Torpedo Upper arms – 25th Snake Eyes (shoulder swivels are from comic pack Shipwreck) Lower arms – 25th Cobra Disguise Flint Arm Band – 25th Crimson Twin Hands – 25th Croc Master Lower Legs – 25th Tripwire Head – ARAH Wet-Suit Web Gear Harness – Custom of 25th Snake Eyes and Greatest Battles DVD Pack Storm Shadow

The orange of the helmet is the original ARAH paint, but the green is Model Masters "Helgrun". I have about 2/3 of the bottle left and have no idea what else I'd ever use it for.

helgrun huh, i have to remember that.. i wanted to switch the lowers to the vipers, but didn't have the paint to do the part of the leg that has the pins, now seeing your trip wires lowers, i think i might do that.. i just wonder if the paint is dead on to the hasbro version.

No, it's not dead on the Hasbro 25th color. It's not quite as pale or as flat. I actually like it better than the Hasbro color. If you want my remaining Helgrun, I'll find out about the legallities of mailing nonflammable liquids, if you'll cover the shipping. Shouldn't be more than $3.
Oh and a quick tip. I dremeled the bottom out of the knife sheath and it works well with a wide assortment of knives that way. I used a Marauder knife. Not the over-sized survival knife, but the one that comes with the stiletto sheath and doesn't quite match it.

Fantastic - definitely the best custom Wet-Suit I've ever seen.

Nice work, Gene! He turned out awesome. I like the ARAH head, it works pretty well. I used the RoC Flash mask on mine and it looks okay, but not great. If money grew on trees, I'd invest in the removable helmet sculpt over at Broken Arrow.

Yeah, that's what ulta8294 used. I woulda done the same thing, but just like you, I can't afford it.
