| Post subject: | A few ARAH customs: Medi-Viper and Wraith |
Hello everyone, It's been a while since I last posted anything here. Truth is I've had serious lack of motivation, but here are a few customs I made these past weeks. The first one is Medi-Viper; it's a battlefield medic for the Cobra clan. I drew inspiration from the Marvel comics, as well as a similar custom done by Chad - at least for the torso part.    The second one is my own ARAH interpretation of the mercenary, Wraith.   Please feel free to comment! I hope you like them!

Excellent use of the Marauder scopes as Wraith's arm cannons. Very well done. I really like it. |

I think these are some of the neatest RAH customs I've seen in a while. I'm totally into the modern era stuff these days, but if I saw these at the store, I'd probably have to buy 'em. |

I agree, it's great to see there's still room for new customs in the ARAH style. The Wraith is great, and I think that's the best looking Medi-Viper I've ever seen. |

Both are really great looking... That Medi-Viper combo has been around for a while...and I don't think there's any way you can really Improve it with ARAH parts...I've seen it done using the DTC Medi-Viper head and it looks really cool too. Wraith is Great...that's the 25th Wraith mask right?...great parts choices...Is that one thigh not screwed together, or deformed or somthing? |

Thanks everyone for the comments! Here are the parts I used for both figures. Medi-Viper Head: Astro-Viper, modded with some green stuff for the antenna/dish Torso: Backblast Arms: M. Bison Waist: ... don't remember!? Legs: Law v1 Wraith: Head: cast from Trigate Torso: Barricade Arms: Barricade, modded with Marauder scopes for the wrist guns Waist: Airtight, modded with green stuff Upper legs: Sludge Viper Lower legs: some Lanard Nova, again for the head I actually used Trigate's awesome head cast. It's very finely detailed. It only required some minor tweaking to convert it to the neck ball format. That cast is fantastic  Good eye regarding the left thigh. I broke the screw hole while trying to dremel it off, so I can no longer pull a screw in it. It used to stay much tightly closed, but now that's it been painted, the added thickness will make it not stay together easily.

I like Medi-Viper best, although the Wraith's wrist guns are a fine idea. What color/paint did you use on Medi-Viper? I like it, it probably matches Ninja Viper. Tim 121RVC |

I've always been a fan of that mediviper parts combo, you's look excellent, nice crisp paint. Wraith looks good too, but I've never been a fan of the character. |

Great work on these! Fantastic paint on Wraith- the ice blue eyes really pop. |

Medi-Viper is a character that is destined to appear in my JoeVerse and I think I just found the perfect recipe. The Wraith is a solid custom that captured the look of the 25th figure nicely. |

So I decided to make a mini-dio of Wraith, as if he was spotted lurking inside a Cobra base... It also gave me a good excuse to practice my photo/dio skills. Hope you like these pictures! Spotted by the security camera!  Focus and close-up...  Intruder alert!!

I believe the first time I saw that part used can be found in the Bivouac archives. |

Great work! Wraith looks really cool. If he was a character back in the day, I could see him released like this. The Medi-Viper is real smooth! |
