This one was also made during the Hurricane Irene power outage. No light Except for through the window, and no power. This is a separate post because I’m trying to observe the new guidelines.
I have come to accept the fact that I will not likely own a Kamakura figure. I make no bones about it, and blame my own cheap-assery. I simply refuse to pay the EBay premium, so I did the next best thing and made one! I used a POC Duke for most of him, and the lower legs of that AWFUL POC Storm Shadow. I think the head was from an EEL? But I could be mistaken. Web gear and scabbard comes from various sources. I realy like the blueish-green they used for the ROC version of the figure, so I tried to mix up something similar. I finished painting him up the next day and sealed him. Please Enjoy!

Bah, forget about RoC Kamakura. It looks small and weak, and it's not even nearly accurate to RoC Kamakura anyways (he's shown in the videogame)
Yours look much better! The greenish blue (or blueish green?) is a good idea, a mix of both versions.
