Modern Copperhead v2

[XOC2008]

I know I did this once before, but I wasn't really pleased with how it turned out. With the Wave "3.5" Ultimate Roadblock, I decided to give it another go. The paint is unchanged, I felt it worked as-is for what I envisioned. So, here's Copperhead, the pilot for the Cobra Cottonmouth.

Parts list:

Torso, Arms, Legs, Ankle Knife and Sheath - Retaliation Wave 3.5 Ultimate Roadblock
Feet - POC/30th IG
Head, Belt, Pouch(left leg) - Random 25th and ROC Copperheads
Holster - Raginspoon cast
Vest - Modded Crossbones with Working Knife and Sheath(Can't remember where the sheath is from but the knife is POC Ultimate SE, etc.)
Guns - Marauder "Desert Eagle" and BBI M4 with Grenade Launcher

(I know there's a difference in flesh color between the arms and the face, but it doesn't bother me because I figure that the helmet blocks a lot of sun so he's not going to have as much color in his face.)

C&C Welcome!

Seriously, that looks fanta stick!...that vest/belt setup looks really good on that figure...

Thanks! Yeah, I was pleased how the vest turned out on the figure, and honestly how different it looks with just that lower belt removed.

 

[WVMojo]

That's nice!

 

[Monkeywrench]

I Dig!

 

[Meddatron]

looks great. That color scheme does work so well for him.

 

[Obi-Shinobi]

Looks great. Shame you couldn't update that helmet with something... it has the old tiny, squished head underneath look.

Still, great update all-around.

 

[Slaymaker]

very nice! If I ever find wave 3.5 I may have to copy some of your ideas!

Yes! I'd like to have it scaled up a bit and hollowed out to use as just a helmet, OR find/sculpt an updated one. Thing is.. I really don't know what the hell it's based off of! It's like.. half scuba helmet and half flight helmet.

And thanks, guys! It's about time I started trying to finish up some of these half finished ideas.

 

[Obi-Shinobi]

You could always go with something more "real-world" as a replacement helmet. What about the new Cobra Combat Ninja helmet? First thing that came to mind...

I have a few that I won't be using, if you decide on that and need one.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

If X is anything like me, he'd want to keep to the helmet to be clearly identified as CH...replace it and he becomes kinda generic...

Hmm, not a terrible idea actually. Then all I'd need is a suitable head to go underneath it. I think I shall take you up on that offer. Any ideas for the accompanying head?

Yes, but I think I can adapt the CCN helmet with a scuba regulator piece to look close to an updated-but-recognizable-Copperhead.

 

[K-Tiger]

Meh, give him a motocross helmet and modify it with a hose that connects to a Spare Air. If you must you can sculpt the silly little air scoops/lights/whatever the hell they are, on the sides.

See... that's what I was thinking too. Some kind of mouth piece on the front of the CCN helmet, covering that opening it has. Maybe even the face-mask from one of those Renegades RC helmets? Just a thought.

What head? Does it matter with the helmet on? Heck, I'd go with the CCN head while you're at it. I can send you one of those too. It's small by itself, but with the helmet it would be fine.

Edit: Actually... let me work up a head/helmet combo for you, and see if you like it.

Alright. I'll be waiting as patiently as I can. Which is not very.

 

[XOC2008]

Man, I can't wait to see what you come up with, Obi. I tried various combinations yesterday and I couldn't find a damn thing that worked.

 

[Obi-Shinobi]

How's this?

 

[XOC2008]

Personally, I like the hell out of that!

 

[Obi-Shinobi]

Don't have another RB, but for size comparison, here it is on my RB body AV.

 

[Obi-Shinobi]

I can add more detail if you'd like... vent scoops or whatever. Lmk.

 

[XOC2008]

Like we talked about over text.. subtlety is best. The vents will give some Copperhead feel but small ones won't push it into the realm of ridiculousness.

Again, I appreciate this and will be looking forward to more updates. Can't wait to drop this sucker onto Copperhead!

 

[Obi-Shinobi]

Subtle side vents...

 

[MMorelock66]

Fucking master of Green stuff.

 

[XOC2008]

Subtle side vents...

This is fantastic, man!

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Nice!...can't say it instantly emotes a CH vibe, but it's bada$$ nonetheless

 

[Obi-Shinobi]

In other words... it's no longer kinda looking? My job is done.

 

[XOC2008]

I think it does, you just have to view it differently. You're looking at it expecting to see clear indicators that it's Copperhead, and they're simply too subtle. But if you look at it as a whole, all the subtle elements draw nice parallels to CH without being 'the same old thing'. And since ole CH got a big update from me, I think the head works perfectly.

 

[Obi-Shinobi]

 

[XOC2008]

Lookin' damn good, man! Now that there's paint applied, everything really meshes together well.

 

[XOC2008]

Update. Head by Obi-Shinobi:

I just gotta reach in there and give him irises/pupils.

 

[Obi-Shinobi]

Gotta say... he looks mean as hell.

 

[XOC2008]

Hell yes he does! That head gives him a whole new depth of ass-kicking awesome.

 

[MMorelock66]

That update looks incredible.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

WAY meaner/sinister looking than the OG head!
