Official Sideshow Storm Shadow Photo thread

[thenammagazine]

I possibly could get it if knew what "suttle" meant? Perhaps I'm being too subtle? When I get home, perhaps I will post some photos of storm shadow.

Pathetic.

Just wondering, because your photos always look swell, and I figured someone taking pics like that would have to know what they're doing, so the grain must have been intentional. Just wondered why, or perhaps if it was a style thing.

Actually, while I've got a knack for composition, I'm not all that versed in the technical aspects of my trade. At least, not when it comes to the ins-and-outs of digital. I was raised and trained to work with film. The digital wave is something I've sort of had to pick up as I got. It's something I've been meaning to address now that I'm out of work.

If you or anyone else can offer some suggestions, feel free. I'd actually be grateful for any tips.

Rook your pictures own... some of the best I have seen.

I just got an email from Big Bad Toy Store... my Storm Shadow is on the way! This is the last figure I have pre ordered through a third party. Starting with the officier I will be getting them through SS. Happy times.

So when do we see your Snake Eyes?

 

[MANDO]

Looking Good!!!

Thanks, Face!

So when do we see your Snake Eyes?

I haven't worked on Snakes in a week or two. Mostly it's the feet that need to be finished and then all the straps/pouches assembled. He's one of four,including what I hope will be my masterwork, that are so-so done just need a little more time.

Hey bro, love your Storm Shadow! I tried using a tt like yours & I could not get the foot pegs out, tried heating & prying them. How did you remove the foot pegs from the feet?

Nuke some water in the microwave for about a minute (8oz coffee cup). Then submerge the foot completely for about 30 seconds. The peg should come right out.

That's what I did. Except I make sure I nuke it for about 2min and let the feet soak for a min or 2. The pegs with pop right out with no damage or mess.

Are these ever going to show up for second chance ?

Thanks for the tips guys! Here are some pics of Stormy before I switch his body.

Doubt it...

 

[The Craw]

don't think any joe exclusive has been on second chance yet.

CC went up briefly on 2nd Chance. I'm surprised he's still there.

 

[MANDO]

If Storm goes up for 2nd chance I strongly doubt it'll be the exclusive version. Best to get him now before he dries up like Snake Eyes did.

Nice! Your TT swap came out looking really good, Keysta!
