Alpha Squad Quick Kick

Been in a bit of a funk the past couple of weeks been really busy and not felt up to much. I have started work on the Devil's Outcasts for Street Wars but not got past doing the skin and eyes and base coated some of the clothing. Looking around for something to finish the other night I spotted my Quick Kick conversion which was probably 75% done.

I started this one sometime last year but procrastinated to much over how to make the shurikens to go in the sash. There fore it got put to one site and left. In the end for ease I decided to paint them on and make do that way I think they look quite effective. The base model is White Tiger from East Riding Miniatures Golgo Island Legends range. White Tiger is sculpted by Kev White and is also sold in the Hasslefree Miniatures Martial artist section of their store.

 I added the sash using paper coating it in super glue to seal it. The sheathed katana was out of my bits box but If I recall correctly is from Hasslefree Oakley who comes with several items to make him in different ways.

Paint scheme wise I stuck pretty much to the cartoons colours with the belt having a blueish hue to it. But his out fit varies massively from comic, to cartoon to fan art.

Quick Kick was another of my firm favourites he was one of the few early Gi Joe figures I owned as a kid. But he was a ninja dude he had a backpack that sheathed his katana and he came with nunchucks!

One of the funniest fights in the cartoons where he lacks somewhat any arctic gear as he rescues Alpine and Bazooka from angry sea lions and has a dust up with Storm Shadow
