My first "custom"--Storm Shadow at his most BA.

[xSwamiJayx]

More of a kitbash. Mostly because I lack skills. I halfway ripped off the idea from a Storm Shadow custom that Jin Saotome did, but he used a different torso and hands and he even painted it... overachiever.

Recipe:
Head, hands, legs: Resolute Comic Pack SS
Torso, crotch: Arctic Threat (shirtless SS)
Accessories: Belt for Resolute, swords/sheath from 25th v2 SS, claw from ? and skirt is paper.

Hope you enjoy!

I thought about that... But I decided that he just looked too Storm Shadow-y to be anything else.

Yeah, but that involves paint. And paint = SCARY.

I like it! I especially dig the paper skirt. Really clever solution. Any particular kind of paper you used? I think I might do something similar for a figure I'm working on, too.

No, actually. Just something off of a Post-It type pad that I had sitting around. I crumpled it up a bunch of times to get it softer and "weathered" looking. Otherwise, it's just paper.

This is lame, but I'm bumping this because I'm pretty proud of it.

It looks cool, what does it look like with out the paper?

It still looks cool, but the color is off between the pants and crotch piece because I didn't paint it. I'd show you but it is super glued on there :)

The available SS parts out there are useful for some cool kit bashes.

Nice unstead of paper maybe use fabric?

You can also use the vinal cover from a regular note book. It won't have a weathered look or any creases in it, unless you work to put them there, but it is easy to work with. That is what I used on my Iron Grenadier ( its posted somewhere in here if you want to see what I mean). One more good thing about it is the vinal is very flexable and allows a lot of movement for different poses. Anyway you still made a cool figure.

Wow. Paper. In all my years, I've never seen paper used before. That's somethin' else dude.
