Subject: Viper Pilots

The Brotherhood Of The Serpent employs some of the best trained and most deadly pilots ever to ply the spacelanes. All Viper Pilots are crosstrained to operate any and all of the craft utilized by The Brotherhood. Viper Pilots' uniforms are hermetically sealed against hard vacume and carry an on-board life suport system that allows the pilot to survive for 24 standard hours in space if the pilot's craft is destroyed and the pilot has to eject. Their helmets contain a sophisticated HUD that superimposes all of their craft's targetting, navigation, etc. information across the inside of their visor. The pilot can toggle between different views with the use of tongue ctivated switches in the mouthpiece (a technology originally developed by the Mandalore centuries ago). Viper Pilots are so ruthless that they are known to go gunning for ejected enemy pilots after destroying their target craft.

Subject: Wild Weasel

Wild Weasel's position as the top fighter ace employed by The Broterhood Of The Serpent is denoted by the crimson accents on his flight suit. Wild Weasel cut his teeth as a mercenary pilot in the skirmishes that broke out during the galaxy wide civil war against the Empire, flying for whichever side could afford to pay his fee. Wild Weasel has racked up over one thousand confirmed kills (including having downed five fighters from the Empire's famed 181st Interceptor Squadron in a single engagement) during his lifetime of flying fighter craft. Wild Weasel is on permanent retainer to The Brotherhood and personally trains all of their pilots. Wild Weasel's personal F.A.N.G. (Fully Armed Negator Gunship) has the honor of being the only Brotherhood fighter craft to bear crimson markings as opposed to the rest of the fleet's stark black finish.

Wild Weasel:








Parts:
Head- G.I.Joe ARAH Wild Weasel v1 (modded)
Body/blaster- TAC McQuarrie Concept Darth Vader (modded)
Life support unit- TAC Baron Fel

Those are great. And you needed so little to make a pilot into Wild Weasel. Have you made his F.A.N.G?

_________________

The F.A.N.G. will be made eventually, but I do not have room to build/display vehicles right now.

_________________

There both super customs, yet again.

Personally I like the two hoses better than the single. For some reason is more estically pleasing to this beholder.

Nice choice or paint apps. Cobra colors are Cobra colors but what I am talking about is where there placed and where they are not placed. Very effective yet again to my eyes.

You had me at Pilot
Awesome doesn't even come close to describing these guys.
Truly kick ass figures Specs.

Very Nice Spect. I love the paint aps. Wish we could get some ARAH or 25th painted that way and I'd be in heaven.

_________________

Those are great. By the way, do you have a place where all of the customs are posted?

_________________

Nice mix of parts for some sweet figures.

Very slick! Dan, those have winner written all over 'em.

I'm glad everyone is enjoying these guys!

The Brotherhood Of The Serpent has long been one of my favorite custom lines, but sadly, it will most likely be coming to an end in 2009 as I have done just about everything I set out to do. There are only a few more concepts left to do (a few named characters, 3 more troop classes, the Drednoks, and some small vehicles- all designed and in some cases built already) and then it'll be all wrapped up.


JFAK, I need your casting skills for an upcoming part of this series....

Captain Tomorrow, go to http://www.goodtogocustoms.com , http://www.deathstarplans2.com , http://www.njswcc.com , or http://www.comandocustoms.com and look in the customs section for a complete archive of all of my customs (separated into different themed threads so just look for anything with my name as the poster).

_________________

I find it hard to believe these two lines could ever come to conclusion, man,

I like the pilots, very clean, simple, and perfect schemes.

I wish I had an ounce of the talent these guys are drowning in,
