Did you guys know a Night Viper drives an old Chevy? Had this Night Viper done for a long time, maybe a year or more, hadn't posted it yet. I actually didn't own the vintage version until more recently, so now that I have them in hand, I can see some inaccuracies. This guy took some work though:
-Removeable helmet, night scope, and pack from Raginspoon
-Custom rifle kitbash
-Removeable web gear with removeable knife
-Added leg pegs for the rifle
-Removeable knife in boot sheath
-shoulder pads
-bullet arm band
-arm patch
-green cobra logo (modified cobra stickers)

Check him out!

That Night Viper is far superior to the Retaliation NV that Hasbro is making. Awesome shade of green you used too, better than the weird aqua-ish green on the 1989 figure.

Really dig the simplicity of Duke. It could work for SAS just as well.

Thanks for the comments guys, I appreciate it! SAS, that sounds like a great idea for a project! I'm looking forward to the hasbro version of the night viper, hope it makes it to retail and it's available and all that. Still haven't seen a renegades storm shadow despite the effort.

Those definitely work.

Small personal nit: I prefer that deeper blue-green that the original figure uses. I think if you could pull that off, it would give yours more Of a night-sniper than jungle-sniper feel.
