Ax - I was unaware of this version of Budo until seeing your custom. Great parts choices! The chain mail shoulders and the colors all make him pop! The bright 90's look isn't usually at the top of my list, but I really like this look for Budo. He came out great. You are amassing an awesome collection of Ninjas and martial arts experts and it would be cool to see them all together some day. Is there anything in the making of this one that was particularly enjoyable or surprising or challenging for you? I know how it feels to wish that a figure's head were cast in flesh for easier fixes. Does that head really fit in the helmet or did you have to modify it? The washes on the blue armor look cool, and the HACKS spikes add a nice touch. Lots of color and texture variety throughout. Can we have the recipe? You have definitely brought a lot of fun ideas to the Tank lately, and I'm sure we can count on you for more goodness in the future.
So, this started out as me wanting to do a new version of Budo that could be a Ninja Force version, but did intend to use the international version’s color palet. As I put the parts together, it ended up being a more straight forward version. I may do the same build in traditional colors. Helmet fit without modification, though the head perpetually looks down. The only thing particular different is I put a matte topcoat in the teal parts as the paint itself was rather glossy. I don’t typically do top coats.
Recipe:
Head- BFS knight alternate
Torso- 50th Dusty
Arms- Avengers Thor
Upper legs: 50th Falcon
Lower legs: 50th Outback
Kit: temple guardian SE helmet, DG Duke belt modded, BFS spikes
