UPDATE: Tele-Viper gear tutorial

mister_e · 07-27-2008, 03:46 PM

Good job on the gear, but I'm actually more impressed with the rest of the custom. Whose lower arms are those? They look like Duke arms without the sleeve part. And the lower legs, what figure are those from? Your Tele-Viper looks MUCH better than the one Hasbro sold to me

Wow, great job. All you guys here with Customs need to work for Hasbro or at the least Hasbro needs to give you some props for your work.

I used a drill, made the hole on the back of him bigger, and much easier. 5 minutes I was done

Eddie,

What paint did you use to match the Wild Weasel legs to the Televiper. I just got my Televiper and want to do a similar custom to this.

Sorry if someone answered this and I missed it but where did the lower legs and feet come from? I have wanted to do this samething since I seen the complete body was the viper. I goin wit different arms but the legs I was always wonderin! Btw nice work!

the paint is a flat blue acrylic by Tamiya...it literally matches perfectly out of the bottle with a slight less gloss, very slight...

the legs are Snow Jobs/Wild Weasels...i used Shippy feet but the pegs on them are too small for the holes in SJs lower legs and the feet are not tight...i couldn't find any other feet that have such massive pegs as the SJ ones, so in the mean time, Shippys will do
