Head: Neo Viper v.4
Rest of figure: Recondo v.4
Like a lot of people I went and got the Value Pack just for the ultra mega cool Sand Viper repaint, but I really hated to let the Recondo figure go to waste given the nice colors used on it.
After rejecting several different heads on the Recondo body it just sort of hit me one day to try a Neo Viper head. Once head and body came together it just had to be an updated Techno Viper. Honestly Cobra stuff doesn't break down these days?
Painting notes: Added a bit of paint where the lower arm meet the elbow which greatly helps the look of the arms. Used flesh tones on the neck and part of the face to make it look more like a mask and goggles. Plus it not only gives more realism to the figure, but you can also go ethnic by changing the flesh tones on the head and fore arms. A mix of black and silver paint was used to tie the mask, goggles, helmet rim, and helmet strip to the rest of the figure.
Now if I can just figure out what to do with Wild Bill and that useless FANG.
