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!

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

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.

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 :P

Nice job Chief! I too have yet to find the little single boogers. Can't wait to try my hand at some customs as well.
The manboobs comment had me rolling.

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.....:shifty:)

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...:shifty:

Nice work on Kamakura. Fits right in with the others.
