I love the ROC/POC-transitional Tiger Snake rip attack vehicle, so I decided to make some proper drivers for them.  Bodies: POC Alley-Viper Officer (incomplete ones from China) Heads: Raginspoon I based the color scheme on the Spy Troops Coils, but Street-Viper is just such a cooler name. EDIT: I think I got something this time.

Those look awesome! Great idea. Now the "Tiger Snakes" just need tiger stripes or something. |

They totally remind me of Stratos (MotU).

Darken the red maybe, add some sort of webgear maybe, or paint a metallicy silver wash over the gray maybe? I dunno, "LASER BLAST" Stratos, those Street Vipers don't need to be changed. They rock as they are IMO. |

I see what you were going for now, but before I totally saw Stratos-Vipers. Not that there's anything wrong with that. |

So, bit of a bump, but I wasn't sure whether I should ask here or in General Customizing... I've decided to ditch the Stratos-Viper look on these guys and do the highlights based on the tan, orange and red detailing of the single-carded Cobra Coils: http://www.yojoe.com/action/03/coils2.shtml But I'm not sure how to transfer the red detailing on the chest to my base figure. I thought about doing the quilting in red... but then it'd turn "Stratos-Vipers" into "McFly-Vipers"... If anyone has a suggestion of where or how I can add the red highlights to the POC A-V Officer base figure, I would really appreciate the help. |

Just checked this out. I like what you were going for originally, but also see Stratos. If you matched the colors from Coils v1 I think you'd be fine. As is, both the red and blue are too light. The blue is almost a metallic periwinkle and the red is more burgundy. |

I guess. But it's too late to go back now, I've already got the orange, tan and black done on the limbs, I just have to work on the torso, and want to figure out where the red'll go before I tackle it. I really do love how the orange and tan go with the grey, so I'll be sticking with that. |

I don't know if you want to use web gear or not, but the web gear from this cobra night watch trooper might look cool with some red highlights. http://www.yojoe.com/action/08/nightwat ... er3c.shtml |

No thanks. I'm happy with the base figures as is. |

I really dig this new deco I did. The figures feel a lot more complete and lively now.

Thats a definite improvement. The little touches like on the helmet and the upper arms really make a difference. |
