Built for NoVVember 2020. The wings of this Vic Viper grew from a tablescrap I've had sitting around for a while, waiting for a good MOC to use it on. It sort of made me think of peacock feathers, but the balloon shells don't come in colors that seem like they'd work for a peacock. I really liked the how the colors on <a href="www.flickr.com/photos/donutsftw/50541590113/in/dateposted-public">my fourth Mechtober mech</a> looked, so I decided to use a similar scheme here. The colors didn't work for a Peacock, but in keeping with the bird-like nature of the wings, I dubbed this ship the "Screaming Cockatrice".

It's always neat to see how builders are able to use those balloon panels in unique and interesting ways. Very eye-catching for the 'feathers', and for the color scheme. To my eye, this would look good with racing livery (sponsor labels and such) as the model strikes me as a racer. There's a story there, methinks. Great job!
