ripcord is the reason i started customizing and how i found the tank.
as a kid he was one of my favorites, due in large part to his card art, which remains my absolute favorite of all the arah stuff. so when the 25th paraviper came out, my first thought was to mash him together with a 25th stalker caveman style in a crude attempt to make a ripcord. this led me to the tank in search of other's custom ripcords and blah blah blah here we are. so this is my fourth go at it, using mainly the renegades ripcord body and gear with some minor adjustments and a new paint job.

wow man this may be my favorite non-zombie custom of yours so far. you did some really nice thing with the paint job and your parts choices are fantastic. ripcord was one of my first joes and this is a solid & slick update. that yellow really pops.

funny story- i really struggled trying to crack his torso, cut my finger on the dull side of an exacto blade, so i gave up and sliced off ripcord's upper arms right under his shirt sleeve, cut a little piece off a shock trooper upper arm to fill it in, and used 25th dusty's lower arms. i tried to fill in the gaps with some old contour putty, but the left arm looked real shitty, so i glued a pocket from the bbi guy that the front parachute came from. shock trooper uppers and dusty lowers were the plan. |

Nice job, Odi. Any particular reason you decided not to do camouflage?
