I made a GI Joe ninja Kamakura a while back, and it was my first GI Joe custom, but I wasn't 100% happy with it, and wanted to give it another shot. I've been working on my ninja skills lately, and have another 4 or 5 in progress... but Kamakura was the first one done:         Made from: Head: Storm Shadow Hood: Arctic Snake Eyes Torso/legs: Storm Shadow Upper arms: 1st Duke Lower arms: Resolute Duke Arm/Leg armor: VvV Kamakura, sliced off thin Lower piece of tunic: VvV Kamakura Sword: scratch built styrene w/red tape for handle Sheath: coffee stirrer w/stip of suede |

Thanks guys! I've been slacking a little, this is the first figure I've worked on in a week lol. This is a mostly completed figure, I just need to do a few paint touch ups, I think I'll repaint the face/mask, and make some weapons (the ones in the photos are just stand ins)....       Pretty much a continuation of my recent/current ninja madness... Mate all 3 figures look excellent and it's given inspration to go and get some Gi Joes and customize them. Well done indeed buddy.
Wow, can't wait to see what you come up with Ron!! |

That's what it's called, Ages of Action. I couldn't remember the name, lol. It's the head/helmet/torso from that figure with some Resolute Storm Shadow arms/legs bashed on. I still need to fix the shoulders, to counter-sink them better, and then do something with the face, maybe resculpt the mask a bit, and then repaint it.

dood! i was looking for that ninja set you did but couldnt find it on your ebay so i thought you sold it or something,  have you picked up the Hardmaster/snakeeyes comic pack yet? it has the coolest accessory yet, a "sword holder" for you to put your swords on. check it out here http://www.yojoe.com/magazine/2008/08/images/wave-6-comic-pack-hard-master.jpgthis would go perfect with it |

Oh yeah, I have a few of those racks to place around the training compound. As well as several other little set pieces to add to it. If it comes out the way I have it envisioned in my mind it's going to be epic. But things hardly ever go as planned, LOL.

HOLY SHITE DUDE  Awesome figures everyone of them, you have out done yourself with these. I went to TRU to pick up a few goes and had nothing there  , but I was walking out and my eyes saw those Narnia(Caspian figures) and straight away I thought Warhammer here I come. Ron |

I know Hasbro has one coming later this year, but I really thought the character design was really cool being a fan of old school western flix, so I just had to make my own version of the newest bounty hunter on the block... Cad Bane!        Head - Mouse from comic pack Hoses - Croc Master w/Arctic Snake Eyes spiked shoe piece Hat - Indiana Jones w/LEGO canvas added for larger brim Coat - Cade Skywalker Torso/Legs - TAC Luke Jedi Upper Arms - Anakin comic pack Lower Arms/Belt - EVO Jango (trimmed a little shorter) Hands - POTJ Duros w/ ball jointed wrists |

Well you beat me too the punch it seems Dave.
Great work on this one.
I'm working on mine, though I loath the character. I know, I know, I'm the only one who doesn't like him lol.

Well, that makes us even now, since you beat me to the Arctic Rex (which I still haven't finished). But why are you making one if you don't like the character?

I have a thing for bounty hunters, go figure lol and I'm a toy whore, and no doubt hasbro will make a debauchery of it. I like his look, I just don't find him to be so bad assed as everyone else. He really didn't do anything to be considered so badassed. He looks bad assed there is no doubting that. How did you sure up that lego fabric for the hat? White glue or something to make it harden? |

Here's what I did... I took a round cap from a medicine bottle that was the perfect size. I put it on the canvas and cut around it to get the circle. I cut an X in the middle and poked the IJ hat through. Then I took some thin pieces of wire and attached them to the bottom of the canvas with some super glue. I was actually hoping that when it was done you would be able to move the brim up and down somewhat, and change the shape of the hat. Well, that didn't happen, all that happened was the wire started to come loose, so I covered most of the bottom with superglue which turned it really hard, and then just painted it brown. |

What kind of wire did you use? That seems like a good way to create the hat. When I was piecing together my idea for the custom I was thinking of using a joker hate from the btas series of toys. But it was too flat looking, perhaps if I used it with some kind of fabric on top of it, it wouldn't look so bad. How is that arctic rex going? |

It's actually wire used for making jewelry, and you can buy it almost any Michaels/AC Moore/craft store. I think it's either 20 or 22 gauge wire, pretty thin stuff.
As for Arctic Rex... yeah, he's resting comfortably in his little plastic holding cup, lol.
