Very nice soldiers Cheng! The Roman's armour fits them well. (Did you reverse the torsos on some figures? Did you have to modify the head to allow this?)

 :P yes, I plead guilty on both counts  :P I thought alot about commiting the unthinkable before I did it  :P altho irreversible internal damage...my consolation was that externally it was still a reversible reversible custom ;D :P

thanks WoT! I did see the first one but I never knew you added more later on (still waiting for your massive pictures to load fully :P) ...makes me feel guilty for using more and more non-PM parts  :-[

Deffinatly don't feel guilty for that Cheng,
When I first started making Samurai,
I thought I would need to go buy all the stuff I would need to molding... ::)
But due to my own laziness, and the simple fact that all the stuff required is fairly expensive
I was force to use Playmobil parts... :P

(Necessity is the Mother of invention...) ;)
