Ok, so I had a few extra single-pack SEs & SSs. One of them was laying on the desk next to a comic-pack Obi Wan gimp mask and this no-brainer was born:   I've got to paint the details a little better and I'm thinking about giving his uniform a slight camo pattern, but I wanted to show him off before I went to bed. I'll give him a swappable unmasked head sometime soon. Cheers! |

looks great chief ..as soon as i get my hands on some 25th figs i'm sure to be taking them apart and customizing as well, i was wondering about a good use for the "gimp mask" nicely done! |

Not bad at all. I'd try and rig up his v2 shoulder strap to reduce the manboobs, but he's great otherwise. |

Looks sharp. Though now you've planted the seeds of 25th ninja-fection...

Damn....ya beat me to it. Mine is about half done. Nice job. Good call on the mask. I was gonna use Stormy v1 for mine but Obi's gimp mask looks nice. I may have to pick one up. "The Green Power Ranger" approves of your green Power Ranger. Kama |

I was expecting to see him as a repainted Storm Shadow eventually. Nice job, especially with using the gimp mask. |

Yes the gimp mask was genius. I was wondering when we'd see that turn up on a custom... Nice work, and good job with the gloating over how many of these you have found, when so many of us have found none

Thanks guys - this one took all of a half-hour to make - I really love this sculpt, even though I'm not a big fan of Ninjas. Sorry if I made any of you feel inadequate by hinting at my multiple single-packs (glad I haven't posted my Commando Squad of all those Snake-Eyes's yet..... )Once I get the scabbard/strap built, his manboobs will be history, but honestly, up-close they're not that bad. I think the combination of the camera flash and the paint made them look more pronounced than they actually are. |

Hmmm, I wonder if Destro would have a silver or gold gimp mask? The Baroness might know... Nice work on Kamakura. Fits right in with the others. |
