Wow - that came out great! Love the way the gold-tone looks - did you have to mix that, or is there an actual factory color like that out there? |

That is a very cool, simple, update that I can actually see Hasbro releasing as a production toy! Great job! |

That is really friggin' cool. I'm torn about copying it, as I only have 3 Lampreys. Dang it! |

That looks great. I'd buy these in bulk if they were made. Awesome. |

Thanks guys, I'm glad you like it. Chief, the gold paint is from Tamiya (Gold Leaf X-12). The base figure is actually Aqua Viper Officer from the RoC Mantis Attack Craft. This guy: http://yojoe.com/action/09/aquaviperofficer.shtml I managed to pick him up cheap (minus the sub) at a collector's show a few weeks back. The minute I saw the figure, I saw a Star-Viper custom. The fact that there was very little painting involved was a nice bonus. My next step is to figure out what vehicle to give him. Since I don't have a Stellar Stilleto, I'll have to find another craft for him to pilot. Thanks again for looking, OB |

AWESOME! Maybe you could do an 'infiltration' version, with an AC-DC tee shirt... |

Nice! Did you do any mods underneath the helmet? |

Thanks guys. Thanks for the suggestion AV, I can definately see the V-Wing in those colors. I might have another idea for a vehicle. Stay tuned... Jay, the head under the helmet is Para-Viper for now. OB |
