WOW! Monkeywrench, Storm Shadow and Dial Tone are AWESOME! That SS is brilliant, that costume is so cool, and you nail it.

Camo on Shock Wave look a bit.. random ;)

But man that SS!

Very cool!

I'm gonna steal your MonkeyPunch & Dial-Tone recipes - those are just too sweet. How big of a pain was it to get the shoulder pad off the Buzzer torso?

Glad to see somebody else take the NF Stormy plunge :D -- painting those white spots were a [LASER BLAST], weren't they? I still haven't gotten mine exactly where I want it, but it'll do. And thanks for reminding me to go back and paint the dagger gold on mine!

Everything looks great - Happy Birthday!

Thanks both of you. I have to say that all of these figures other than MW were stolen, and yep, Chief you were my inspiration for SS.
The shoulder pad on Buzzer wasnt too bad to remove with the dremel but it is un even with the other shoulder afterwards but the web gear covers it nicely.
As for DT and the mis match colors on the head and neck it dosent look mismatched in person, just shows up in the pix.

Parts list for MW is...

Upper arms, Torso and jacket: Gung Ho
Head, lower arms from the elbow to the gloves and legs: Buzzer
Gloves: Starwars devil guy from the comic pack
Bandolier from a DTC Grand Slam

I know Shock Waves camo is off but I plan to go back and touch it up.

Thanks again for the comments and Bday wishes Chief!

Very nice work on all 4 of these!

Dialtone was always a fave out of the later Joes and it is great to see him get some 25A love :)

These are all fantastic!

I actually had essentially the same recipe in mind for Monkeywrench, but you beat me to it. Looks great!

Dialtone is simply awesome and Shockwave, with a little clean up on his camo, would rock just as hard.

Shock wave and Snakeyes are cool, but Monkey Wrench and Dial tone are awesome ( except the face color ;-) )
I hate when figs look one way, take a pic and they look another.
That's how I explain why I'm so ugly in pics and gorgeous in person.

Nice paint work on Snakeyes by the way.

Happy Birthday

Methinks the cold medicine has gone to your head Joe, theres no Snake Eyes there.
LOL J/K I know you were talking about Storm Shadow.
Thanks again to everyone for your comments and suggestions.

First off, happy birthday!
Sweet work on all of them. Each one looks right off the shelf.

Ninja Force Storm Shadow? I don't even know what to say about that. Totally unexpected and very good looking. You nailed his look perfectly.

If Hasbro makes a Dial Tone nearly as good as this one I'll be all over it. That is one sweet looking figure.
