Ok, this is the first time i have tried to do anything like this. I was first going to do a listen n fun tripwire ( which i still am going to do), but changed my mind at the last minute. So i thought about doing a Night Force Tripwire, but thats not what I came up with. Looks more like some sort of Cobra Figure. I kinda like it though. Hope its not to bad. PLEASE give me any suggestions that you might have. What is the best paint to use, paint prep, glossy or flat. I am really wanting to get into customizing and could use some help. Thanks!!!

the paint job looks killer, although not a fan of tripwire. i bet that would look good with avac, almost reminds me of a televiper

The colors look great. He does have a Cobra vehicle driver or tech vibe to him. He'd look even better if you gave him a wash in a darker color.

Looks like a Crimson Guard Tele-Viper to me.
It's pretty cool looking and well done, color choice is old school cobra, but unique with the red visor and all. I'm amazed Hasbro didn't try to use Tripwire a head for their "no-frills" tele-viper |

looks good
tip 1:don't paint red over black tip 2:for fabrics use flat paints tip 3:don't use flat cear coats on figs,it makes them glossy,and don't use spray flats on spytroops,v vs. v,dtc or 25th figs keep up the good work

I used some thinned out black to "dirty it up" a little.

I don't care for that combinations of colors personally, and it is to glossy, but the dirty wash kinda helped kill the shine off it.
