I like it, good use of parts, a subdued colour scheme that still suits a Night Viper, bravo sir. |

Very nice. Like the shot of him jumping around the barrels. |

Is that chest plate a cast that's sold? if so link please? Amazing work. Much better than the jungle viper that is often used as a stand in. |

Fantastic build, nice, simple, and unique. Great shade of green! Great pics and poses all around. Only critique is the tip of the scope lens, which looks off. This is outstanding, and my favorite build of this character, I can't express in words how much I like it! |

This is outstanding, and my favorite build of this character, I can't express in words how much I like it! First off, thanks for the feedback everybody. Revsears, in answer to your question, I got the breastplate/shoulder pads combo from a customizer known as Raginspoon. He is a great guy to work with, and his casts are primo! I am PM'ing you a link, as it will take you to another collecting site, and don't know if it would be kosher to link it here... -Todd |

Very nice work, just not a fan of the 25th body styling. I would have done something differently though, which would make the padded portion of the chest(no the armored plate) the green colors you used. Also, where'd you get the helmet( or did you dremel it), and is it thick enough to be dremeled more for arah heads? |

The helmet also came from Raginspoon, and it is cast in a soft, rubbery plastic, so would most likely be able to use on a smaller ARAH headsculpt, like maybe an Undertow figure's... I will PM you the link. And thanks for the feedback, even the critiques, which I find helpful! -Todd |

Also, there should be a "t" behind "no" in the parentheses, just so you don't think I was changing my mind as I was typing. |

Very little excess to trim, if any at all (can't recall any on the helmets to be honest). |

I, too, consider the NV's my favorite of all vipers. I've had one in the works for a while, but hit a stand-still. You may have just motivated me to get it finished. Thanks for the motivation, and great work on NV! |

The way that they've been making the interchangable bodies with removable armor and helmets, it should have been easy enough for them to do... Oh well, I digress... And thanks for the comments on the figure guys! -Todd |
