That looks really cool. The helmet has the retro feel to it as well as a touch of S6. Nice job. Let me know if you're casting the helmet. I'd be down for a couple of those! T |

T Don't know if he still is or not but he had em under viewtopic.php?f=21&t=253 as casting em. I do like these styles of helmets as well. |

You know, I've always really disliked the look of the original Viper. But you really made this figure pop! It's just perfect all the way around - not just the helmet, but the torso, the whole package. You've taken what I consider a goofy looking character and made it respectable - awesome job! |

Yeah that's pretty much perfect. I still love that helmet. And the body is icing. |

WOW.. that is a really nice looking figure. I like everything about him and the resculpted torso looks great as does the helmet,He looks like he's factory made and ready to be sold to the masses. I think he's one of you better figures in all actuality, Tim |

You did a good job of getting all of the Viper elements in there without copying it exactly. I might have used a darker blue because right now it looks mor elike Cobra Commander as a Viper. I'd buy it. |

I really like this figure. It manages to be original while maintaining the classic Viper feel. |

Thanks for the comments on my Cobra Viper!! Glad it's going over well! When I initially advertised these helmets for sale, I was using Alumilite casting products and decided I didnt want to sell the helmets in that quality. I mean, if your gonna buy a custom piece you'd expect it to be production quality making the purchase satisfying and your item more enjoyable. The manner I was casting them in required dremeling, after the plastic cured, to be fitted for a randomly selected head. That was toooo much work! I was consuming alotta time, and felt the buyer should not be responsible for doing it themselves.....Then I tried two piece molds to shape the inside of the helmet. That worked out good, but I was still using Alumilite. So I started looking for better products and realized how expensive casting can be !!(hobby rapist)!! . To make a long story short.....before I spend that kind of money, there's still alot about casting I need to learn! |

I agree with the above statement. You have definately taken the Viper character to a new level....and I LIKE it!! |
