Hey I wanted to show off a few older customs that I didn't see as earth-shattering but I wanted to post them nonetheless. First up is Budo. I wanted this to be more of a utility uniform with a samurai theme. I opted not to give him any guns in the pictures but I see him as an Infantryman who is in tune with his ancestry and incorporates it into his life as a soldier.
Recipe Head: Hogun From Thor Helmet: ARAH Budo Torso, Arms, And Upper Legs: 25th Tripwire Lower Legs and Skirt: 25th Serpentor (Air Chariot) Next up is my take on Muskrat. This is one of my first customs and it shows, but every mistake is a way to get better. Recipe Head and Torso: 25th Gung Ho Legs: 25th Duke Webgear: ROC Desert Strike Ripcord Shotgun and Machete: Marauder, Inc. My third figure for this post just came from having some random parts that I thought looked good together. My concept here is that sometimes a blue shirt shows enough potential that Storm Shadow takes notice and invites him to the Arashikage Temple for a small battery of tests and if he passes, is formally made into an Arashikage padawan. Recipe Head: 25th Cobra Trooper Vest: Resolute Storm Shadow Hood: Retaliation Wave 1 Storm Shadow Torso, Arms, and Legs: ROC Arctic Assault Storm Shadow |

Thank you all for the positive feedback. I enjoyed making Budo as he was one of the first real Franken-Joe projects I did using so many parts from different figures. And he was fun to paint. So many tiny details.
