SKY VIPER
Rattler Co-Pilot/Gunner
by Bruce Cole


My first real GIJoe custom (previously, I had just added some paint to current figures, to hair or something). I used enamel paints, which turned out to be a bad idea -- it chips easily when the whole figure is covered. Anyway. Its simply a repaint of a Wild Weasel figure I got for a buck at a flea market. The color scheme is nice, and now my Rattler has a co-pilot/gunner. Even if the paint does chip easily. The gun is a Major Bludd rocket pistol from one of the equipment packs.
