Title: My Samurai General, Completed!
Post by: WarriorOfToys on March 28, 2011, 17:52:58

Ok, So I really liked what Cheng was doing wit his Samurai's legs...
and I thought, why not give my Samurai this armor,
otherwise Cheng's Samurai will have an unfair advantage. ;D
So I guess, what I am trying to say is this statement...

...Maybe in time I will use the same technique, (talkign about Cheng's leg armor)
but for now I am trying to stick to mostly Playmobil. :P

...was a lie, an absolute lie. ;D

However, after I added the leg armor,
I though he looked a little to... uneven. His legs had too much armor.
So I added shoulder armor too, something I should have done long ago. :)
And here is the finished product! (Overboard? No...)

Here is a simple view from the front,
His sword is tucked beneath his arm.

I hope you like him! :wave:

No, it is construction paper, and I just printed the design on. :)

OMG WoT you definitely stepped it up   :love:

...his leg armor is so much better than mine and his new shoulder armor is brilliant (curved plastic? from another soda bottle? ;D)

btw what's construction paper like? thinner than cardboard so that it can go inbetween the rollers in your printer?

dont think about matching colors, your general can wear red/pink/green/blue whatever bright colored sleeves/trousers and look very samurai still  ;) even your shoulder/leg armour can afford to be multicolored...especially Generals  :P

Thanks Cheng! :wow:
I am glad you approve. :)

No, the shoulder armor is just more construction paper, which is just thicker paper,
pretty much as you describe. :)
(I use it a lot for playmo customs as it is flexible, durable, and extremely versatile.)

As for matching colors,
I am a little OCD when it comes to that... :P :lol:
So I think I will keep with the color scheme.
But who knows, I might find some completely seperate colors
that go well together and fit them all into one custom.
After all, I said I wouldn't do this with the leg armor only an hour before I decided to! :lol:
