No, I'm shocked at how great they look! Did you sculpt the boots to make the feet?

thanks Tahra! ;)
I did, a little, especially between the big toe and the rest of their toes to take the straw what-you-call thingy :P

 :woohoo: :woohoo:
It was either that or  lacquer red armor on white sleeves, I guess. And since these arm greaves are not even close to showing up, that's the best compromise.

thanks bb! and you know there's a new klicky somewhere (can't recall) with new WHITE rolled-up, strapped and buttoned, sleeves?! but I won't be needing them, big thanks to you ;)

I don't think I've seen that! But I don't have as good an eye for spotting parts for customizing.

I wanted (many) him since I first spotted him but thanks to bb, I'm happy with my cheaper and still PM rolled-up sleeves.
BUT when convenient, may I see a photo of this smart pilot? (of course nothing is as good as having him in your hands to examine and enjoy ;) ) or is he an air steward?

I'll take a pic of him one of the next days, I first have to get his parts and put him back together  :lol:

Here are the sleeves, I used them on the brother-in-law of the city's baker...

ah, thank you for sharing, Hadoque!
hmm, you have a white coat and I like the hairy chest,
this must have been in a story telling thread, I almost never have time to read them :P
I hope to see more customs using these white arms...maybe on a modern day sailor? HEY!! I can do this...soon, and thanks again!! ;)

do you have him Hadoque?
I like to see if his rolled-up sleeves match our PM orangy brown torsos
Title: Re: summer sleeves for my blood red Samurai Army

No, not yet. I won't be buying the Hotel Theme's van just to get this guy  :lol: , so I've put him on my DS-list.
Will take some time to get him though as I've too much else to do momentarily, so all DS-orders have to wait...

I looked at the klicky yesterday at the back of the box in a store, and the torso/arm-colour seems a kind of red, but not as red as usual, it looks like somewhere between orange and red   :-\

And it is not 100% certain yet he actually comes with these rolled-up sleeves as shown;
Someone on Klickywelt bought the set and the klicky came with the standard short sleeves  ???
Maybe it was a single production-mistake, but other possibilities are that the pictures (catalogue and box) are wrong, or that between the prototype and production phase they decided to delete the rollep-up sleeves and go to standard short sleeves to save a bit on plastic...
To Gaston (Tonguello) happened the same thing with a Suprise Figure; it came with short sleeves instead of rolled-up ones...

I guess this is why there are so few Samurai customizers, because they are all too intimidated by your very impressive Samurai Cheng! :wow:
Can you pleeeease tell me how to make that drum? ;D

And where are you getting these rolled up sleeves? ???

thanks for your interesting comments Hadoque!
a lot of 'maybe's from me too;
some new colours (maybe the hotel doorman's pink is necessary and maybe these new colours will attract more girls/moms to buy BUT this orange/red torso/sleeve shade may not make any difference to boys(maybe their moms) ::)
maybe more unique & unmatchable colours is Geobra's way of reducing customising?  ;D
but surely will increase production/stocking cost(listing them, change colours of raw materials etc)

but its definitely painful to even receive occassional mistakes from what's shown on boxes :P

youve been away from PF for a while, while I've been going overboard making these rolled-up sleeves (being fed-up with those newer button&strap sleeves) in several threads using those animal bandages
