This figure is an entire repaint of Storm Shadow (v1) 1984


Great customs don't have to be elaborate. I came across a couple of very yellowed Storm Shadows and I wanted to make them look great again. I changed the skin colour and gave it a black suit. Copper is my favorite metallic colour to use, so I wasn't shy in using it... it combines great with the black!!

The biggest challenge was the Cobra logo. Yes, it's in copper as well! I took a transparent Cobra logo water slide decal and I painted the surface where I wanted to place it with copper. After applying the water slide decal just a few minor ajustments were needed to make it look slick as it is.
