25th Snow Serpent

The pros from Dover · **Posted:** Sun Jan 20, 2008 2:52 pm

Using a 25th Snow Job as the base figure, some bbi gear, a maruader inc rifle, McQuarrie Snowtrooper hands, a lot of sculpting, a dab of paint here and there, elastic for his straps on his arms, legs, gun and backpack and MAD props to TheUnknown for casting the helmet for me...

Here is my 25th Anniversary Snow Serpent.

Nice, Brian. We should be so lucky to get a figure that great.

It's also interesting to see how plain the standard Hasbro figure looks next to your custom.

Wow

That's just too awesome for words, Brian.

This is probably my favorite custom of yours - I love everything about it.

Simply incredible. -- Now I gotta go outside and shoot some Arctic dios before all our snow melts....

something about his left thigh looks too pouch'y, but that's just me. the figure looks great, nice job w/ the paint!!

HOLY

!!!!

That seriously rocks!

Instead of going for the crisp, freshly issued battle togs, I like how he's got that 'crawling through the dirt worn battle end of patrol' look.

Mad props for the action shots and the bases.

Man, what a gorgeous piece!

In addition to being one of my favorite Cobra troopers, your part selection is fantastic and your painting skills are second-to-none. Excellent work!

Makes ya wonder what Hasbro's thinking, not planning a Snow Serpent for anytime soon.

Wow, Hatch, you finally hit the line running.

That is art, pure and simple, that would look great on anyone's desk or in a case.

Fantastic, really, well done.

Awesome, awesome, awesome and if there is a better word for awesome that too.

Can you explain how you did the paint job. It would work perfect for a Moon Knight custom I have in mind.

Seriously, Awesome.

Well thanks a lot man. You just completely ruined any opinion I would have for a Hasbro Snow Serpent with this figure. Seriously, how can they possibly follow that? Just awesome! I love arctic figures and this one is great. I could definitely see working this piece into my verse. While I'm not crazy about the use of the Moray/Eel helmet for a Snow Serpent, for some reason it works here.

Nice job!
