With the PP Copperhead being marked down at Target, decided to try a Classified version of the Mission Brazil Python Patrol Trigger.
I didn't try to go exactly as the vibtage one, as I really liked the vibe the Scrap Iron gear gave him. Not sure if the Airborne head/helmet is working... or if it just needs a little paint to tie it in better? Any suggestions on color would be appreciated! I know the vintage it yellow, but not sure how that will translate. Thanks!

This is really inspired. I'm amazed at how well this works! ��
I might be tempted to do up the helmet in yellow, but in lieu of that, I think if you try to color match the green and paint the helmet, it might blend just a wee bit better, Other that, looks good, my friend! |

That's a really cool idea.

Thanks all!
Ako Roshi, I think I'm gonna try and do the yellow on the helmet like you mentioned. I'm also working on a Lightning too, based off of the Tele-Viper. So will try to have both of these completed soon. Thank you again!

Y'know, I was thinking the same thing after I saw your post. Are you just looking to use the python tele viper or are you going to kitbash a couple of figures? Again, very interested to see how this comes out. Keep us posted! |

I think it'll look pretty slick if you do, but I hope I'm not pushing you to do this. Yellow is a finicky mistress and the window between good coverag and gloopiness is quite narrow...

Again, very interested to see how this comes out. Keep us posted! I'm kit-bashing him with gear from TF Flint... also since these guys are pilot/gunner for a Mocassin, I'm kind of leaning into having wetsuit look underneath. Should have some new progress pics soon! Thank you for the help and direction on these!

So have an update for Lightning and Trigger...
Will do some minor paint work, probably of the helmets going grey and yellow (respectively) for each of them. Lightning needs a little extra red to tie it together as well. I updated Trigger from the original Airborne head, as I decided to embrace the fact that they were presented with the Mocassin (at least from the Joe Con issued figures) and would be wearing wetsuits under their fatigues/uniform. Finally... just trying it out with a Tripwire helmet instead. Think I like the open face, no goggle ones better though, since these are named characters, and not faceless combatants. Thoughts on the helmet?
