GI Flow's Storm Shadow V2 in progress

Here's my take on the V2 SS which was one of my favorites, even though my interest in Joes was starting to wane around that time. I switched the lower legs out with the CP Stormy (like everyone else) and painted them white.

The belt that I swapped out was from the VvV Slice or Slash or something or other. I thought it looked close enough to the belt on the OG.

I painted his wrist wraps white to go with the rest of the figure but I want to switch out the forearms to be more faithful to the OG fig. I would have used Duke arms but I want to keep the Arashikage tattoo obviously. Any ideas? ( i thought about battle damaged SE but there is torn cloth molded into it)

You just blew my mind... I never realized until this moment that the '88 card art is different from the '07 release. I thought something was off but never compared them until now.

I'm wonder if there are any Star Wars figures that have baggier sleeves to use for this figure.

I was going to use Duke arms 'cause the sleeves go lower, but i hate painting upper arms, unless there is no alternative. Star Wars eh? We'll have to look into that.

What you could do, if you use Duke's arms, is use masking tape and a VERY fine brush to recreate the tattoo.
