HARDCORE MODELING CHALLENGE 80's cartoon: GIJOE storm shadow

[ZombieGoasts]

I was wishing that someone decide to do ninja storm. He was my favourite Gi-joe action figure from childhood, and I recently I bought one of those new/retro gi-joe, I almost cried when I saw the original packaging. This is the one I have right now -LINK (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vXaVu8h0nwE/SZSxGpiVG6I/AAAAAAAAAHY/y7TjlD2EbyQ/s1600-h/DSC00620.JPG)-
I really wish you good luck, and please model it incredible well. You don´t mess with ninja storm. Do it well, he deserves it.

The poster version looks well sweet, I hope you adopt that kind of style, look forward to seeing your version...

That second toy in the black and white camo was always my favorite version of him. Might be the hood the bow or the fact that it was the one I actually owned. :D

Good luck.

Hi,

@Wyatt yeah that's the figure I had as well the hood was definitely what made it one of my favourites I'm planning on adding one to this model

Started blocking in the head and mask/balaclava.

I've got a few really rough concept sketches just to figure out his proportions etc. I'll post them tomorrow (got to hook my scanner up first)

Hi everybody. I set my Ninja free from his box, and shot some pics for you, or anyone who wants to model the action figure.

I wish you good luck, and have fun.
