Viper Serpentor Cobra Coils ARAH Vintage custom figure

All hail Serpentor! Everything must conform now to the new emperor! hence, a new outfit must be found for the regular Vipers, lest we confuse in Cobra's Civil War! so it was born the Serpentor Viper. One of the first things I did after discovering casting procedures, was to cast Vipers heads :) . The casting was not perfect, but good enough for me.

Tele Viper Commander GI Joe custom figure ARAH

Tunnel Viper Cobra ARAH vintage custom figure

Here is my custom Tunnel Viper, inspired by some customizers which used parts of a Lanard figure. I thoguht of recreating that, but sculpting myself and using VvV parts. I presented this custom in a sort of dio story, for a spanish forum, so I will translate every caption;

-Here is a day in the life of the Tunnel Viper. Early in the morning, he does a recon to make sure no enemies are in the zone and he goes to the tunnel...


-Once arrived, he leaves his heavy equipment and he begins continuing the tunnel perforation...


-Once he's taken the transpenetrator that he had previously camouflaged, he proceeds to perforate to create a gallery to hide Cobra material.


Once the main perforation has finished, he takes out his protections (vital to protect him from rocks and other debris that comes forth) and he takes his due rest...


Once rested, he starts one of the most important phases of the tunnel creation; obstacle demolition. He gets his backpack full of explosives, and fits his protective gear, (important if it explodes before time) and he proceeds to do a few controlled demolitions...


At last, after 5 hours of intense work, our friend Tunnel Viper comes out of the tunnel. He's exhausted, but he still needs to find wood to make support beams, and leaves and branches to cover the tunnel entrance.


The Tunnel Viper leaves the transpenetrator in the entrance with lots of care, as if it gets damaged or captured by the enemy, it would be discounted from his meager salary.


The Tunnel Viper is satisfied with his work ¡he does not want that any boy scout/GI Joe/forest ranger or squirrel finds the tunnel!


Finally, after a hard work's day, he returns to the secret bunker that acts as base.
