25th Alley Viper

The pros from Dover · **Posted:** Fri Feb 01, 2008 7:02 pm

While I am happy with how all the sculpting came out, I am not too pleased with how the paint job looks. Orange sucks to paint with.

I dunno. I like the v.1 colors, but I'm wondering how he'd look if I did him in an urban cammo paint job.

Thoughts?

"Common, dont make it hard on yourself. Give up now."

"Go inform Cobra Commander that I have secured this objective."

"What? No, you haven't! There's a whole nest of Joes in there!"

"By the time you reach the Commander, it will be secured. Now, move."

"I don't know....I don't think....."

"Captain, you are not paid to think. You are paid to OBEY. Now, whimper if you understand me."

<whine>
"Good. Now do as I say, before I promote one of your troopers on account of your untimely death."

And yes, he does have a jet pack. Why?

Looks bad ass bro, but using that air trooper helmet is pure genius!

He looks good, I agree he might look better in urban camo.

I like the fig, but nothing will ever replace the whoop ass viper you did with the gatling guns,

Thanks guys, think I am gonna make another one and paint him in an urban cammo scheme.

A requested pic, with visor down:

Also, showing the detail of his pack:

Urban camo, urban camo I wanna see some Urban Camo.

I'm getting sick of all your customs looking so sweet. Between you and MacGyver I'm ready to chuck the hobby and take up something else. maybe Knitting or Bird Watching

Oh yeah, sweet custom

Being a fan of the original v.1 Alley Viper I can truly appreciate this one. Its a great modern update to the original and while the orange may seem out of place in an urban environment, here it just adds to the intimidation factor. He's so badass he doesn't have to camoflage himself with colors that blend. Nope, he wears bright "Shoot Me!" orange motherf#@$ers!

And as has been said, using the Air Trooper helmet is pure genius. Adding the Alley Viper blast visor just takes it up another notch.

Nice work man. Very nice.

I love the fact that hes so wide, :shifty:

He looks like you could unload a mag in him and he'd just walk over and kick your ass. Beautiful custom, truly badass.

I kept his filecard in mind the whole time I was working on him:

Very nice! I've always had AV's up there with the NV's in my top faves of the Viper corp. You've certainly done him justice. The body-armor is immense. He looks as if a truck could hit him, he'd still keep ticking. Nice dios, too.

that indeed is one of the best 25th anniv custom i've seen.
great job, man!

Ooh man that's nice. I love how padded and loaded down he is. It really adds something to the character, but he remains recognizable as an AV. Awesome work.

I love that figure and I was just thinking (please dont have me think, NO STOP THE PAIN) that I would love to see a 25th Alley Viper.

This figure is, well I just cannot come up with the words to give it justice. I love it. Very well done. It does the original proud, heck it shows it up may be better to say to be honest.

Great job;
