Back in 1988, Hasbro began releasing several repainted figures and vehicles in their GI Joe line under the Tiger Force banner. While several characters were produced, a few that were originally planned for the set either got different paint decos, or were scrapped altogether. Ripcord here is amongst the latter. I based the design on the few existing prototype pictures I was able to find online of him. And since Hasbro failed to release him in either the JoeCon 2015 Convention set, or as an exclusive through their Figure Subscription Service, I feel I've righted a wrong with this custom.
Formula:
Entire figure and accessories: SPC. Altitude v1
Stand: Renegades Ripcord v6
Paints used: Citadel, Model Masters
Thanks for looking.
And in case anyone was curious, here's a picture of the prototype Ripcord that was never released:
