Cobra Viper (Arctic Outfit) continued from yesterday....................
After the flat grey primer and flat white had dried, it was time to add some detail paint. I painted the inner thigh padding with grey and red along with the stripes and pouches on the outer legs. The vest was painted with grey and flat black and received a red Cobra symbol sticker from cobrastickers.com to finish it off. I also painted the lense pieces on his goggles with flat red and the sides of his knees above the boots with flat white.
Then it was final assembly time and re-glued the torso. Decided to give him some different gear for the arctic too. He still has his typical standard issue Viper rifle, but I gave him a Snow Serpent backpack with missile launcher and skis and poles so he can be an arctic ski-patrol Viper.
