Red Bean's Custom Weapons!

Hi,

Sorry guy. Didn't realize this thread exists hence my late reply. First, I do live in the UK but currently I've been relocated to Japan by my company, so before I left I made arrangement with this guy in Hong Kong to ship out all my orders for me (hence the oriental stamps, good if you are a stamp-collector, I suppose). Secondly, the weapons are made my myself and NOT by Lego, the material I use are the same as Lego though. Thirdly, the Bricklink shop is mine also, but the price are a bit more expensive because I have to cover the Bricklink fee. As for historical weapons, I don't make them because 1.) I'm much more into fantasy than history (in terms of sculpting stuffs because the designs the more interesting), And 2.) I feel Blasterman is already doing an excellent job with the historical stuffs, and since I can't make them any better than him and because he's my friend; there's really no need to start another nasty Lego vs. Megablok type competition, right? Thanks for your attention.

R. B.

Just wondering, when are you gonna let us download the rest of your LOTR Sticker Designs?

Fantasy is more interesting than History? Weaponry from other countries can sometimes look like "fantasy" swords.

Please take a look at the historical swords from my country (but also found in other SE Asian *island* countries), the Philippines. I think some of your swords bear a slight resemblance to some of the historical Filipino swords and other weapons.

I've always thought that the Panabas somewhat resembled the Elven swords I saw in LOTR.
