Title: kung-fu legend (1847–1924)
Post by: cheng on August 09, 2010, 09:24:11
Hello everyone  :wave:

I was searching for a custom, non-war and never posted(I think) on Gardenwargaming...
so hope this simple one lives up to your expectations of me  :P

(looks like I have to make do with these ancient chinese legs for the next 3 years since PM will have to focus their resources on the samurai theme first  ;D)

I thought you can read Chinese.... 8}

He is the main opponent of Wong Fei Hung, so I guess Mr Wong would find him a companion in the playmo-world :wave:

I thought you can read & look at all those threads in say, GW, without being a member? there are no hidden threads in GW or are there?

I used to keep photos/poses I didnt post/use but got lazy and thought I'll just leave them on Playmoboard...lost them all..especially those instructions on masking/spraying

(man...this is great...life chatting on customising...dont get my hopes too high...it can be like this everyday  :lol:)

Yeah, this forum is the bane of my existance and wallet, and I mean that in the best possible sense. SO much to read so much to do in playmoland.

Can't wait to see more of your work cheng, and eventhough people can go look at other forums sometimes you are quite happy with what you have or just don't know what you are missing!

Hi

It would be great to see more of your customs as you have built yourself quite a reputation. Many members just do not have enough time to venture into the other forums especially when they are in foreign languages .

Great custom by the way and thank you for taking the time to show us  :wow:

thanks Rasputin!
I've been envious of this Forum and her members since you guys started but didnt want to put up mirror threads thinking that other forum members can look into GW if they are interested enough...
ok, I shall dig up some old stuff if they havent been outdone/updated by Geobra  ;D

Hi

I seem to need some inspiration to solve my clone-ish looking dioramas. I am not much of a Playmo-painter ( I just can't bare to impurify them) so I tend to stick to soft-customs. I will be aqueously awaiting the pictures of your work  :lens:

wow, that's quite a diorama you made!

I try to restrict myself to certain themes altho I do like many others, including non-war ones like yours. As for moving away from soft-customising, I dont like spraying/cutting but some years, PM just dont launch any new parts/colors/inspirations for my themes, so after a lot of hesitation ::) :-\ I compromise my own customising rules  :P

I know the spear’s a custom. ¿Is the sword custom as well?

 :-[ no Andy...I'm not good at glueing swords on poles or pouches on belts...anyway I dont allow any glue on my PM (for now)...
I stole this machete from my jungle fighter(those G.I.Joe-looking men with changeable weapons)...it looks quite acceptable as a chinese broadsword in PM world :P I cant recall if you allow any non-PM parts on your customs  ???

Oh, ok, and yes, it fits PERFECTLY…
In answer to your question, I try to avoid that, but I’m not above it if I have to.
