Torso and upper arms and head - ROC Paris Pursuit Storm Shadow Lower arms - 25th Zartan V2 Upper legs - 25th Storm Shadow Lower Legs - 25th Tripwire Gun was made from three different guns. I know it's not 100% accurate, but it works for me. A lot of paint, a lot of time, and a lot of patience. |

That is a great custom. Excellent combo. I haven't watched Akira in forever.

Pretty sure the lower half of the pill patch should be yellow.

Thanks guys. You can add red to the list with yellow in colors that are a pain in the ass to paint with.
On the top jacket, everywhere the fabric would indent, I painted a thin line of the darker red (what I used on the pants) to give it a bit of shadow. I completely screwed up on the lettering on the bottom back of the jacket. I had to repaint it with the darker red, then the lighter red, then do the wording again. Ugh. And to be 100% honest...the gun was the hardest part. Actually, the power pack was the hardest part of it. I scared my wife when I yelled in victory after finding a WWII style radio box that was PERFECT. The gun is a mix of a GI Joe gun (big boxy one that came with Helix) the barrel from a Clone Wars Clone rifle, and another random piece I found in my fodder box (ok, it's actually a fodder shelf...). I know the head is recognizable as Storm Shadow, but I thought with the rest of the figure it would help take you out of that thought. Anyways...I know I'm not gonna win anything in the contest, but I figured I'd throw in anyways. |

I think the first example is simply "bleached".
It's not a big enough issue for me to break out the VHS, though. |
