O.K., I decided not to add the fin's from the lower legs to the upper arms. I think the figure will be more smooth with out 'em.
BUT, I am in need of a Hydro-Viper tank.....Any help? Or perhaps a better suggestion.......?

Thanks for looking. All comments are appreciated!

A Joe on patrol at one of their secret bases decides to stop and fill his canteen............

When suddenly.......

Lead by their commanding officer, Copperhead, the Cobra Eels surface and begin to advance onto the beach....
Image

Copperhead takes down another Joe patrolmen as the Cobra Eels secure the area.....
Image

After the beach has been secured, Cobra forces then regroup and prepare for their assault.....

I just get through typing a message about how badly we need a good V1 style Eel and then I com and see this. Wow, I can't wait to see it done.

Also, you might want to check with JFAK about Hydrospanning that Moray helmet up a few sizes. I always loved that head/helmet design and it'd be a shame to have to sacrifice it because it was too small.

This has potential to be superbitchin', easy. I would try to get both helmets to work, for diff jobs or diff Eel units, or whatever reason you need to make up to have a cool fig with cool options. I'd look into a diff pelvis, as this one looks a bit 'tighty whiteys' here.

Man, this turned out really nice. I would have loved to see these guys on shelves. The paint job sends this over to the must have pile. My only suggestion is to send the tubes around behind his head, mabey hook them to a pack, but thats just a personal preferance. This guy rocks.

Yea, I had some stuff come up around the board changover. I peeked in briefly for the PA meet, and am only now starting to get on more. I would love to see it if you could send me a link. Ohh, and I did not forget about the junk shells, it just got buried under a ton of unexpected life issues.

Thanks D-Dub! Glad You Like.........it'll definitely get a tank. I just don't have one to use for it. I'd like to get a Hydro-Viper tank, or one similar to it with high detail.

Aaahh yes......the JUNK!! Cool Man! :D Thanks

That looks good. The upper torso might be a little bulky but considering it would be holding his air tank on it makes sense. The parts alll look good together and the paint is top notch.

Thanks you guys......

X, glad you enjoyed the dio! It's funny....the only shots that were to be a dio sequence were the first two. The other shots were meant to be random themes........But as I was editing the photos, i noticed that if put in a certain order, they kinda tell there own story.......it was coo!
