Sweet!  So much better than my Slice and Dice.

Yours too are very good Nighthawk, but I believe that they could look much much stellar if you painted them or even added some touch-ups. You seem to be very gifted with the tools and to have a lot of dexterity and patience: these are also some of the fundamental requirements for painting. And painting is so much fun, believe me. I'm not even an pro painter but I just love how some very simple paint gives a whole new life to my customs.

Thanks for your kind words.  I just don't have the time to deal with paint right now with a second child coming too.  I do everything in the garage and it's cold there so it's hard for paint to dry.  I don't bring anything into the house cause I don't want to expose my daughter to paints and stuff too cause she's almost 2 and she likes to get into everything new to her.  Safest way is to just not have it.  Plus, I like playing with my figures.  When I painted before, no matter what I did, I couldn't have paint as durable as Hasbro's so paint rub would always be an issue so that's why I've stopped painting.  The last real painting I did was my removable helmet Mjr Bludd I made where I painted hair on him.


Ok, sorry to have hijacked the thread.  Now back to Oreobuilder's customs vault. :)

You do great customs OB, I wish I had the time and patience, I am sorely lacking on the latter.  :P

After Slice and Dice, I thought I would stay with the Ninja Force theme. This time, here is a Joe with a strange codename (seriously, does anyone know what his name is supposed to mean?), T'Jbang.

For those who are unfamiliar with the original figure:

As always, comments are welcome.

Weird name or not, T'JBang is one of my favorite ninjas. And you sir captured him well. This is perhaps one of the least obvious ninjas to make because ninja parts are limited, and you pulled it off magnificiently.

Love the armguards. He looks really good. I never loved his mask, but you captured it well.
