Hey all.

I've been finishing up long-simmering projects lately and making some decent headway, I think, as well as some marked improvements.

When I first showed my recipe for a 25th/Resolute-style Night Viper, folks said they wanted to see a little more black on the figure. So I added a holster and knife sheath to the thighs and went ahead and made a few more of the figure to fill out the ranks.

Then there's my Highway figure from my C.O.P.S. reimagining. I liked the basic recipe and how he fit in with the other figures in that group, but there was something missing. I think I found it in this helmet.

What do you guys think?

Love the Night Vipers, great paint and heads.

Loved COPS as a kid too... I think your Highway is really
good but needs some shades?

Yeah, maybe slap some Baroness glasses on him? Otherwise, awesome!

Really enjoy you C.O.P.S. figures, and the Night Vipers look like a pretty serious bunch of snakes.

the helmet for highway is awesome, and shades would be a cool added bonus. The night vipers are good as well

I am also a COPS fan, how many have you made so far and maybe... a group shot? Loving the night vipers they were a great cobra troop, and this was only an improvment! great work!

Ditto on everything here, especially the C.O.P.S. group shot!

Excelent work as always Spin!

The Night Vipers look very intimidating in the group shot.

As for Highway and shades, have you ever tried the shades from the Agent Annika figures? I think they'd work great here.

Great work on the Night Vipers. I'm not into other lines besides ARAH, but I'd buy those because they look so cool!

Totally digging you Night Vipers. Nothing to critique.

The Helmet and the bike make all the difference for Highway. Great use for that bike too.

Thanks for the kind words, all.

I'm really proud of (and a little surprised by) how well the Night Vipers turned out, considering the first one started off as a glorified reject from my Spare Parts Brigade.

I've got one more to finish up, so I may take some WIP shots of that one if folks would find them helpful (in case you want to make your own Nighties).

I'm also glad Highway went over well. The Baroness shades are a great idea and I happen to have some sitting around. I'll slap them on and include him with all the rest of my C.O.P.s in a group shot when I finish the new member I'm working on right now. Hopefully I'll make some headway on that guy by day's end.
