Red Ninja mods WIP

[Shimaneboy]

Hi, all! I've been working to make my red ninja more comic accurate, specifically how he appeared in the silent issue, Marvel #21. I am still toying with making his forearm wraps and hands more accurate and painting his belt red, but this is what I have so far. Thanks for looking!

Updated pics on page 2!

Head: Retaliation Red Ninja modded
Torso: Retaliation Red Ninja repainted
Arms: Retaliation Red Ninja
Upper legs and knee caps: Retaliation Red Ninja with knee pads shaved off
Lower legs: Resolute SS cut off and glued on and painted.

[Cloud Strife]

Nice mods to the head sculpt!

[MJjoe4life]

Looks good so far!

[kingphilbert]

I really do like how the older lower legs look with the torso and uppers.

[TheRealDubya]

Looks good.

You know what I like in threads like this? A pic of the thing the person is trying to represent, i.e. a comparison pic of the comic character.

Thanks, everyone!

Got my three ninjas almost ready to go! The only thing I think I'm gonna do is make their wrists more authentic with wraps and paint their hands flesh tone and then equip them with their proper weapons! Thanks for looking!

Nice! Now to create a dio for them to hang from.

I weep for the ruined shins here...

The sculpting to the head is interesting, im curious to see what your pillowcase headed ninja look like in a profile shot...

[Starfighter]

Nice job.

I don't weep for the shins since for me, they went to good use. :)

Here are some profile images.

Excellent. Love the mods.

[daremo]

Spectacular! I can't wait to see them finished. I vote for a sweet Silent Castle dio background for them too. Once you start making a lot of customs you might as well make playsets and dioramas to go with them so you can really show them off.

Anyone know if there is a mace or sickle like the one Red Ninja has in the comic in 1/18 scale?

[CrimsonGuard101]

Damn nice looks factory quality...they should have come this way lol...

None that I know of. You'd have to make one. Which isn't fun...

Thank you, daremo! Yes, I plan to do this! BTW, your sickle and spiked ball is off the hook! I didn't see a tutorial for how to make one, though. Do you have a tutorial? Or can I commission you to make one for me? I of course need one for one of these red ninjas. :)

No tutorial yet. Maybe if I make another one, I'll document it.

Look good so far.

Shimaneboy,

These guys look really good - nice job. How about rocker mods?

Thanks, Obi-Shinobi! That means a lot, especially coming from you! :) That's something I may try, but I haven't been too impressed with the rocker ankles. They are good to pose with, but I don't like how you can't simply move the foot side to side, i.e. to the right and left, the foot is permanently facing forward and only rocks on its sides.

Your sig pic looks absolutely amazing, BTW!

cool I dig the bag head ninja

I agree. The rocker ankles aren't as cool as they could be without the upper thigh swivel. They work awesome on the Amazon Renegades Storm Shadow because they added the extra swivel articulation.

[Mr Hebime]

Looks great! I have 20 red ninjas and you make me want to buy more so they can look like yours. Great homage to the silent interlude issue.
