Alley Viper Leader

[VindowViper]

As a tribute to my favorite Cobra figure as a kid, this is my new sculpt Alley Viper, well... Alley Viper Leader since I only plan on making one. LOVE the original colors. Yoho Joe inspired me to do this fig with his custom, and thanks to Alyosha, I was able to get a clear-orange shield, clear-orange face mask, and a removable helmet. I tried to make the chest plate look like painted steel, but I'm not sure how well that turned out. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. The blue actually matches the other AV's but the camera makes it look different for some reason. I'm also considering changing where orange ends and blue starts on his head. I gave him a sword because I thought it would be fitting for a leader to possess a sword as a status symbol. Here's the parts list:

 

Head: CC v.19

Torso: Firefly v.8

Arms: Scrap Iron v.4

Waist and Upper Legs: Ripper v.3

Lower Legs: Sand Viper

I love the custom and the way you did it, but I hate the fact that the originals had blue/orange.

I really like this custom. Top notch stuff. Is it playable, or only displayable?

[BrotherShane]

Very nice custom, looks great!

Even if it gets a couple chips here and there, it's playable in my book. I just keep the paint handy for touch ups. I haven't put on a clear coat yet, though, but that may increase the durability.

OICW (rifle) came from Alyosha. Pistol came from Firefly v.8. Sword came from some umpteenth version of SE or SS, and the rest, including the helmet (which was a custom cast by Alyosha) was listed in my original post.
