Vyper conversion
« on: August 9, 2015, 03:07:05 AM »
So, with the look of the new jetbikes, sweet I mean, I just had to fix a Vyper up to match. Here it is so far...








This is it for tonight, will post more as I progress.

Thanks Cav, I'm feeling a lot more into it again. Just needed a spark.

Now I have it ready for primer. The turret weapon is magnetic so I change to the other options if needed. I used 2 old jetbike cowls to extend the nose, fill the hole by the pilots feet and make the shielding on the sides of the turret. For the belly plate and finns I used left over bits of fantasy movement trays and a pencil. I used my dremel to carve the finns, hands still shake so not the best but good enough for this. After I get my Nebula paint scheme on it, should help cover some of the imperfections. Enjoy

Hey dread i don't know if you knew but i love VYPER and to tell you the truth always felt there model was a bit lack-luster. Today you are seeing me in a state close to worshipping you as it's aboslutly excelent ! i dinamise the model and make it stand out even more than the normal one !  splendid work.

Nice work Dread!  That really brings it into line with the newer kits.  It looks far more streamlined and imposing too.
