So yeah, this guy is finally done. He's much more 'traditional' Samurai then Military, but I have more Military version in the works as well.
Mostly made from a resolute Storm Shadow with parts of the Ages of Action Samurai. Ball jointed wrists were added using LEGO levers (thanks to Obi-Shinobi for that one!) and the scabbard is a coffee stirrer flattened out. LEGO canvas (another Obi-Shinobi idea!) for the sash as well. Swappable heads and 2 helmets - vintage style and a more 'Ceremonial' version. Not crazy about how the vintage one fits but I love the larger one. A few more different shots are also on my Facebook page if you want to check them out: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?s...1801820&type=1 He's available for sale if anyone is interested, or he will be posted on eBay this weekend (click that link on the left hand side that says "eBay"). Thanks for looking!!

I like it but imo you ruined a good figure with the new budo coming out here in a bit.

LEGO Lever parts? I'd like to know more.
Also good custom. I think it would look more uniformed if the arms were the same green as the legs though, but that's just me.

LOVE the head and I'll need to get my hands on those Age of Action samurais.
The paintwork is especially impressive too, great, great work.

Thanks for the comments everyone!

I'm guessing you're referring to the AoA Samurai? That's not his head ;) It's a push mold casting of the menpo glued onto a Tunnel Rat head. Quote:
Mine just has more armor on him, lol.
