Well, my first 25th. Very pleased with this one, as well as being pleased on the ease of customizing 25th stuff. Let me know what you think.

Kamakura: 25th Anniversary Ninja

Great work.

Are the pads all sculpted?

If so, Im very impressed.

Also, great choice of accs.

Very nice...clean mods and paint! Almost makes me like the character...

_________________

thanks. The pads are actually all from the Spytroops Kamakura. Just cut them off and attached them to the Storm Shadow parts

Excellent custom. I'm not into ninjas but this one made me stop and take notice. I may have to copy this.

Excellent first 25th custom! I've never had a Kamakura, but I'd like to copy this one. Added to my to do list.

thats "LASER BLAST" smooth.

i really like that. i might steal it one day.

Great custom looks nice and clean.

Mac you need to give Kamma there a second chance he's the only devils due character that isn't lame. Mostly cause his dad is

Great custom!

The only critique I have relates to the color of the hood. From the picture, it looks greyish, and I would have used some kind of blue, in line with the comics illustration (this is where I am supposed to post a picture, but I can't find it).

Other than that, it's perfect!

LOL...I don't even know who that is! (I'm not familiar with the comics!)

I love the 25th line. Love it because it's such a needed upgrading of the old stuff AND because it is so easy (and addicting) to customizing. And it's awesome to see an old warhorse like yourself onboard with the new style (I don't care if you do Kamakura this year and one more every year after, the work always be worth the wait).

When's Mayor going to get his first taste of 25A glory then?


That said, I'm impressed. Yeah, you captured the character's look perfectly and the paint work is smooth and clean as always, but the transplant of the Spy Troops pads earns some bonus points (that's something I would have done; craziness).

This is the 3rd version I've seen of Sean Collins in 25A style and the most "natural" of them... His character design just lends itself really well to the look of this line.


IF I decide to do SE's apprentice, I'm ripping this one off.

I like it. The only spot that doens't look production is where the hood meets the torso. I'm assuming the hood is sculpted and I'm just seeing the transition to the plastic. If that's the case, making those smooth transitions is something that will only get better with more sculpting. It is something I haven't mastered yet myself. I have found that if it still looks a little rough after sanding, sometimes a little white glue is able to smooth it over.

Hmm. I haven't been in a rush to make a Kamakura, but you've sparked some inspiration.
