I guess I should start adding to my Best of section. What better way to start than with my very first custom figure? You won't see an lbc, simple paint job, or slight mods here. Nope, I went full tilt right out of the gate... This custom is based off of the Storm Shadow in his own comic book series using only the 25th Anniversary Storm Shadow V2. Had to do a lot of sanding, sculpting, and painting for this one. I had green stuff from years ago when I painted wargame miniatures but never used it. I love the stuff now and used it on half of the figure. I first sanded the sleeves off his arms along with the detailing on his shirt. Then I sculpted his chest piece, gauntlets, belt, knee pads, leggings and shoes. I also sulpted his biceps, but I'm not really happy the way they turned out. Lastly, I painted him as close to the comic as I could. The sword and sheath were cut from his backpack and pegged to his back. I also constructed a pair of nunchucks that attach to his belt. This was also the beginning of my interest in making my own ninja weapons. I really want to redo him at some point. Especially now that I have a better idea of what to do and there are much better parts available now. This is probably my favorite incarnation of Storm Shadow.

Man, I really hate you guys with all your talent and skills and shit. Going on 20 years of doing this stuff and my paintwork looks half as good as some guy's first friggin' fig. God hates me.
/Really keen fig, man!

Okay enough time has passed. I'm tired of searching the Customs pages looking for you stuff. Let's see some more posted here. It's your wicked ninjas that have inspired me to make a couple myself, I have T'Jbang nearly complete, an ATR nameless ninja complete, and I'm parting together a couple more. Let's see your stuff all in one place please.
