Oh boy, what a year life has dealt me. Sorry for my dropping off the face of the earth guys, I have really missed this place. Many things have changed for me and it has greatly effected my time and energy level at the end of the day. Long story short I have not dropped out of the hobby, just no free time to post wip updates on the very small amount of customizing I have been able to do. I have done a few updates on facebook this year as it is easy from my phone. So I finally had some time to snap a few photos of a project I have been working on all year but in numerous small steps. I have to tell you Hasbro Star Wars has left me so un impressed I have done very little collecting or customizing. The GI Joe line offers so much more quality and play value for your money. Then they hit Five Below and I bought everything I could find and wished I could have found more. When I opened the Budo figure I was blown away! Such a great figure with a beautiful sculpt that begs for multiple repaints. It is also a lot of fun modifying the helmet and armor to add diversity. So I have several of these in finished and WIP stages that I will share with you as I can finish and photograph them. The first Samurai  is Toyotomi, also one of my favorites in the series. Featuring modified helmet with cast emblem, mustache sculpted on face plate, cast shin guards, resculpted sash in back to hold flag, bamboo reed flag pole with flag made from POTC figure skirt and sword sheath made from a coffee stirrer.

Hey! Welcome back! Glad to see you're still kicking. Stellar work on your samurai. I've been watching their progress on Facebook.

LE, I hear ya man. Ever since my second child I haven't had much time for customizing. Some of the guys in here probably don't know who I am. Your Samurai has absolutely stunned me! Great job as always.

Thanks for the kind words guys and it is great to be back. I still don't have a lot of time on my hands but daylight is getting shorter so that will continually make my work day shorter. Eventually giving me more time to goof off!

Wow, Spry, those are really cool. I'll bet they were a blast to work on.
I don't know if my days will get shorter or not. Been a busy year for me too.

Nice! Off to share.

I wonder why Flick is making your images so small. Its like we are just getting the thumbnail pic or something?

I went to the Flcr site, where the pics are bigger, AND AWESOME! 
I have one of these laying around for parts (Bless you, fiVe BELoW). 
Your amazing paint job makes that awesome sculpt come alive.
You look like you had so much lot of fun doing it, I've gotta try it myself.

Another stunning samurai !!! I must say You are capturing the look and feel very nicely ! Are you using any pictures for reference on the colors you are choosing or are you doing these by what you feel would be an authentic look ?
