I succumbed... forgive me. I, too, made a Snake-Eyes custom.

This one started with a cast head from JFAK075, and Ripper's torso. After all, that's a spike-handled trench knife, and ol' Snakes' collects those. So, I had to start putting together a body, preferably one that could hold lots of knives. I chose Dusty's arms for the guards, which could be used for deflecting sword blows, and it took forever to find a thigh that matched up to the Snake Eyes left.

Modifications:
Head: Thinned Duke's jaw and rounded out his haircut. Plus, I carved in a scar mark from the slash across the eye that Storm Shadow left him.
Left arm: Trimmed down the Hard Drive computer to act as his TTD Joecom.
Hands: Drilled out for using the Microman set.
Left Leg: Dremeled away the molded holster and fit in the BBI.
Right Leg: Added the brace of throwing knives.
Helmet: Combined the Padme Helmet (facemask + strip around head) with the Hacker ski mask to make a full-head helmet.
Scabbard: Added Chap Mei knife scabbard for hunting knife.

Paint app:
All uniform pieces were RIT-dyed black. The chest did not take so well, so it received an extra wash of Citadel Black Ink. The helmet was painted black. The forearm guards came out of the dye that color: I only added the clan symbol to the right. Snakes' hair I gave a touch-up in 'vomit brown' and 'full moon yellow' to make it look more natural.

Note on last pic: I thought this would be a boot knife that would be "outlawed by the Geneva Convention" (Breaker - Marvel #3). I have since found they exist for real, as a 'TiRADE dual blade pocket knife'.
