I think my fav is the Green as well. And hopefully, I can come up with a blue in my lifetime :)

Re: Gold Samurai

Yes, 'Standing Small' had my Red and Black samurai, both which I have proudly entered in CCCII and CCCIV respectively. :) CCCX is just over; time sure flies. I agree that there are now more weapons and accessories from 3rd parties; and even from Lego themselves. Kind of lessens the need for actual p...

Re: Gold Samurai

Thanks for the somments and compliments guys! :D Hey Nick, Long time no post! This gold samurai is wonderful and not at all dated. I particularly like the custom barding and shield. This is a very worthy addition to your family of samurai - you really need to take a group shot of all four if they ar...

Gold Samurai

Hi guys! Forgive me for the long absence.

We all learn something everyday; like I just found that your "copy and paste" technique works straight off my IE (call me slow). :oops: Anyhow, I believe that the problem is that you may have copied the thumbnail instead of the deeplink images into your MS Word file. I've just tried it wit...

I'm know I'm no "pro sticker/decal customizer", but what I noticed is that most of the the images you are using are low resolution bitmapped ones. A better option is to find (if possible) and use vector based images for your print-outs. Otherwise, bitmapped versions with a higher resolutio...

Handsomely done.. I continue to be amazed at the level of professionalism in all your works.
Simply beautiful.

I too, find the flesh tone very appropriate; fleshies for "movie" tie-ins, yellow for all else.

The naginata looks great as well. Where did you get the blade piece of the naginata? I know, I know! It's the scythe blade from the new castle series, with the clip pommel removed. Love the helmet too. I immedietely recognised the batlord's helm; never thought of combining it this way though. Nice ...

Thanks for sharing the information. I am going to give a go at the horse's helm, and the information you have provided will be extremely valuable. My pleasure. Be sure to showcase it once you've got it up and uhm, running. :) I would have thought you used a modeler's spray-gun to create such a nice...

kelderic; on second look, they do look like scales... The dark tide; I think I've effectively painted myself in a corner now. Lord Mikal; The font is still chinese. I searched for a font that closely resembled what an emperor's seal would look like. Can't remember the font name (though). For the bar...

HeartOfDarkness; For the Black, I glued the mask to the hat, so that it works like a headgear. Starwars4J; Heh, I don't have many GG helms left myself. I like to think that I contributed to the GG helm's scarcity, but truth it, parts dissapppear fast when no new sets comes up with it. Sadly, no othe...

kelderic; the gold rings on the green layer for the barding look amazing. Uhm.. they're supposed to be scales. :cry: JPinoy; FrySlayer did bring this up to me for obvious reason of combat effectiveness. I still kinda like the huge horns though. ZIGGY; Sorry, I don't have any other pic hostings accou...
