Samurai!
« on: May 13, 2010, 00:39:37 »
I realised how long it has been since posting my last custom...
and since I have a few lying around the house I will show you one I am particularily proud of. :)

This is my Samurai,
An ancient warrior from Japan. They were extreamly skilled with a sword and bow.
Samurai were Japan's fighting force untill the era of gun powder reached its shores.

Nice Custom WoT!

Did you know there is an actual Katana available from Playmobil? If you put one of these in the belt, and a second cut down for his wakisashi, it'd look even better!

We have hopes that one day Playmobil may produce a feudal era Japanese theme, especially as they already have many of the necessary parts.

Yes, nice custom!

I didn't know there is a katana available!  I would like to see a feudal Japanese theme.  Then we can do the great classic movie "the Seven Samurai!"

In answer to a few of your questions...

I don't have any Kantana, but as soon as I do I will update him!
Nor do I have any Chinese/Japanese/Mongol heads, and again if I get one I will update him.

Martin, I actually have a pretty good idea for his wakisashi. :!:
Since it is shorter I can use my dremmel to cut a Playmo Kantana down a bit...
Then I can use one of the pirate "slings" that carries a sword and put the wakisashi in it.
(The sling is a little far down, but since the wakisashi sits a little farther down then the Kantana I think it will work ok.)

Thanks all for your great comments!
I really appreciate them, as they are what keep me going. :wave:

Hi WoT,

Very nice samurai. I agree with everyone's comments -- well done. And a Playmobil 'Asian' theme would be quite interesting...

I have a couple of katana (in gold) and quite a few Asian/Mongol heads for which I currently have no need. Maybe we could do a trade? Send me a PM if you'd be interested.

Cheers,

AndrewL
