So I finally make good on my promises to show you my Samurai!
Here they are.

These are my baddies, they are trying to overthrow the Daimyo (which are powerful, nobles).

Here is my Daimyo and his two best Samurai.
One of course bears a flag, and my custom naginata.

My Daimyo also has a bow and, in case of last defense, a wakizashi.

And finally here are some foot soldiers.
My Samurai are not as good as other people's on our forum, nor do I have as many, but I am quite happy with them. :)
Also, I have plans to expand. ;)
Here is a battle scene, because why post pictures of Samurai if they aren't fighting? :lol:

I hope you enjoy! :wave:

Awesome customs, I like tham very much. Excellent work, congrats.
The idea to use the white hat for injuries like a hat for a Samurai, was fantastic, very clever indeed.
George. :)

Wow, awesome customs. Your red katana is beautiful! :clap:
-
I love the bad guys, WoT! Really convincing with 100% playmo parts already, and with my Jingasas, they'll look like factory made!

Well done they look beautiful :)

Beautiful work WoT, I really like the daimyo

Nice group! ;)

thanks for sharing WoT...finally ;D
...I agree that as along as they look great in our own, eyes, that's all that matters when we pose and smile just looking at them every now and then ;)
...then too, you have rooms for improvement (with cowabounga's new parts someday :) ) and extended hours of fun as your army increases :D
keep going WoT!!

very nice indeed, makes me think of "Shogun" :love:
and you should never compare your stuff to others as being not good enough: it's your vision and your fantasy, and that should speak for itself. :wave:

Thank you! I cannot remember if I got the idea from another person on the forum or not.
But I see samurai wearing headgear like this all the time in the manga I read. :D

Thanks! The red katana was a gift from Cheng! :wow:

Thanks! I am glad you like them. :)
Beautiful work WoT, I really like the daimyo
Thank you! I worked really hard on him. :)
I am looking for a way of attaching all his swords and quiver on him at the same time... ???
Nice group! ;)
Thank you Pynedor! :wave:

Hello.
You can also use this hat here but you will put the front side of the hat, behind to the head.
http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-05-9030
The results will be better if you will use a body like this one.
http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-00-5502
Of course you can change the accessories and you can also use a body like that with other colors. ;)
I don't remember where I saw all this to show you pictures. It was a very nice custom. :love:
Friendly George. :)

Hi René.
I think you're referring to one of Anreas' beautiful dioramas (blader11).

What a good idea to use the Egptian armour for the Samurai! Very convicing! Have you tried to use the Samurai- like armour of the f?gure already? I agree, the prints aren't exactly Japanese but maybe you get an evil Samurai warlord or something..

Well I do not have those ribbons. Although, I have seen other people use those and I agree, they look very good. :)
As you the bodies, I do not understand what you mean. :eh?: The picture you linked has a plain black body, which is the type I used for nearly all my samurai. There were a few exceptions, like for the Samurai Special figure, my blue samurai, and my samurai with the red sword. For these figures though, I think the torsos used make sense. As for the other figures, they all have a plain black torso like the one in the pictures.
Thank you for your comments and suggestions. :wave:

Thank you! I am lucky because when I combine the two figures used to create my samurai, I get an Egyptian soldier as well. ;D
What f?gure is that?!? I haven't been up to date with those lately. Please send a link, I would love to see it. :)

Oh I see. I think if I were to use that armor I would just use the Samurai Special figure instead.
But I could also see the first one as being an evil villain. I will have to think about these. :)
