My last custom for the day. Thanksgiving break did well providing me with some time to really get into and finish up this one.
As with other awesome Kamakuras seen here I went the route of an SS top and SE legs. Custom cut the sheath and strap away from the rest of the quiver and shaved the pads off of Viper gloves for his wrist guards. The color was the hardest, to say any part of him was hard at all. There is a subtle play between the greys I used, Gunship for the mask, strap, sash and darker portions with F-15 Dark Grey for the lighters. To really finish him off I paired him up with my SE V2 custom and made same mods to SEs sword. It's the Marauder scimitar with the eagle head from a Trigate blade washed over in a silver black. I think it looks pretty badass.

What paints do you use? Tamaya or Model Masters? And how did you manage to get it not to wear away in the joints?
I really like the Kamakura.. I have been working on one myself, but can't seem to find a good green color.. LOL

I'd like to know what paint too. All I have is cheap-o brand Americana paint. It chips like crazy and the quality isn't very clean at all. I might ask for what ever brand paint you use for christmas. Plus your painting skills are awesome.
