A lot of G.I.Joe figures are very cool, but they lack a more realistic/useful paintjob. The usual story: I did like the original Range Viper, but the colours weren't exactly screaming jungle to me.
I found inspiration for the camo in the common desert camo. I decided to try this in with green instead of tan/brown and I think it turned out pretty good.

This was my first completely repainted ARAH figure, done in 2008.
