Anyone else thinking of creating a custom Ripcord figure using Stalker and a Cobra Paratrooper figure. I've stared on one, but haven't gotten to painting it. I want to paint the Facemask & hose Black, the neck skin color, and green gear like the original. I might leave on the extra leg webbing that the Para-trooper comes with. I switched the gloves, and replaced the head with Ace's, or Breaker's head looks good too, but the facemask doesn't fit as well. I might get rid of some of the hoses and leave just one, and cut off some of the extra jump gear (front lower) and the back side where the extra hoses are connected to. I don't know, I'll mess with it and see what comes out of it. Any ideas?
Ok, It's almost complete now, I just have to paint his neck, and replace the knee pads with that of the Para-Viper, and paint it green also. I added A picture of the original RipCord for Yojoe.com The colors actually look darker in person, the light and flash make it look brighter, and the cobra emblem on the helmet can't be seen either.

I hope you don't mind but I'm stealing that as soon as I find a second para viper. (make that the first paraviper).
As for the facemask, I'd just add some sculpy or epoxy (as per your preference) to the back to bulk it out a little. |

post some pics when you get a chance to do that. I've never worked with sculpy, maybe I should try it out here. Yeah I gotta work with it, and see what comes out of it.

We're getting a Ripcord when the movie comes out... Kidding. That's a good idea and I think it's gonna rock when it's finished. Try it with a Duke head and if it works, use the TF Duke head. You may have to shave the neck down a little too. But other than that, I'd leave everything else the way it is. Sab |

you're right, maybe I should leave the neck the color it is and paint the face to match the movie.
