first off let me say this is the first custom i have ever done other than a lbc. just getting back in to gi joes after almost 15 years away. i always wanted a gunner for my cobra vehicles when i was little. i made this guy to act as a turret man for the h.i.s.s. anyway i need a name for him and am looking for suggestions and tips on customizing.did learn that i need to through away old paint. was using new model master and didnt like the red i picked not quite brite enough so i used some old testors model enamel on top of the model master left some imperfections not perfect smoothness

parts used
rock viper head and arms
duke version 6 i believe star brigade commander from 1994

Since he's a gunner how about Strafe?

DREW PEACOCK

Astro Mutt

How about Smoothbore?

I'd call him Gunner or Reload.

Constrictor, cause he looks like the Marvel Comics character to me.

Before even reading your write-up I thought he'd tie well to a HISS. Maybe make him a more individualized Rip-It.

How about Metal Iron because he looks like a cross between Metal Head and Scrap Iron and because it sounds better than Scrap Head.

Seriously here are some suggestions, Turret, Big Bore, Cannon, Gunz, or Flak Viper Commander

viper i had made him to go with rip it and the hiss 3. anybody have any dukes of this version. i dont see them on ebay often and the one i had was beat up pretty bad but now i would like 3 more to go with my other hiss IIIs

I would saw Rock Viper Commander myself. Possible Tank Viper. He is pretty neat looking too.
