Here is a modern era version of the 1998 Vypra figure.

I tried to mimic that soft border "airbrushed" effect between colors that the original had, but also try and close it up into a more visible camo scheme.

The paint job on Vypra and her Rattler have one of my favorite paint jobs in the entire line, yours is a good representation of that.

Agreed. Excellent paintwork. Looks production level.

Perfectly done. I could see something like this in a future FSS collection.

Speaking as the guy who came up with the name Vypra for Hasbro, and wrote the file card for her -- VERY nicely done! You really captured the unusual camouflage color scheme of the original. Outstanding, superb work.

And speaking as a fan of the original Battlestar Galactica -- I like your code name.

How much of the 97-98 Joe collection were you involved with, Trekker?

Nice, I would buy a Vypra exactly like that at retail/import. Especially if they gave her a Stinger 4x4 again.
