Rather than make Resolute Storm Shadow a straight swap for Budo, I swapped in a pair of booted feet, and then painted part of his calves under the armor black to simulate the rest of the boots. Gen Hawk v1 (25th) supplied the head. I also cut the suspenders off a v1(25th) Roadblock harness for his belt, so he could have a modern weapon if he needed it. Finally, Major Bludd, a 5-pack Stormy, and an xD WWII figure each contributed to parts of his backpack.
I have touch-ups to do on the paint, especially as my camera picks up every instance of differing color. I was surprised to rediscover that the original Budo's base uniform was light gray, so I'm saving myself the trouble of figuring out how to undo the chest armor and leave his uniform gray. I'm not sure I'll be altering his skin tone.
