Hey! Had you already showed these robbers? Their clothes are just un-be-lie-va-ble!!!
You also have to explain how you make those balding/shaved foreheads! Please?

Arnaud

thanks Playmofriends! :love:

ok Arnaud,
for the half shaven head with top knot,
I start with the hairpiece with a single pony tail,
cut a 'V' from the centre until the pony tail,
then snap a circular piece of scalp cut from another head (just like making a bald klicky)
into the hair piece which can still snap over their heads
(as you can see form the photos, no glue nor blu-tac is necessary)
then you can use a white strip of urethane band or pvc sticker to act as a headband
hiding the edges between the 2 head plates
and add a piece of black 'skull protector' plate onto the white headband if you wish (like on one of the sedan chair carrier)

dear Geobra....so sorry for defacing your hairpiece...I will cease scalping them and promise to buy loads the moment you launch such a Japanese Fi?ure :P

as for the Samurai's Hakama,
they are again just temporary PVC stickers over matching PM sleeveless jackets
..perhaps clearer in these 2 old photos

I'm sure Geobra will make these Fi?ures some day! ;)

I only recently found out what a "sedan chair" is, reading Guy Gavriel Kay's last book  :-[

Love your customs.

That's a very neat way of making the bald/shaven heads, cheng, very neat and elegant indeed!

Wow! I didn't know so much work was involved! It's really worth the result, though!
Thanks for this neat how-to lesson!
Best,
Arnaud

That's a wonderful looking scene, Cheng.  Each figure has so much detail and precision and together they look magnificent! :wow:
