Good to see you back,samuri's looking good.

[Luke Sprywalker]

Thanks buddy, it is great to be back! Mr Jedi, a little of both. I have looked over countless reference photos and done some reading. Then went in with that influence and my creative instincts and went for an authentic look. I wanted each figure to have subtle differences in the armor such as different legs or arms or feet. Making the helmets is what really go me addicted. There are a few helmets on my bench without bodies and there are still full figures left to be painted. I have really enjoyed this project and it seens to be bringing a lot of change to my display area. That being said here is my next update, Hasakura. This one was made for a project called GI Joe Reloaded. It was started by Ice Cream Man Customs on facebook and involves many artist that make Joes. I had to wait until his day to be released before I could share here.

So I sent Ice Cream Man the pics and few sentences for the file card he was going to make. He flipped the whole story into this amazing File card and asked for some action photos/something with a background. It was perfect as I just fabricated a lantern/box for a little light and found a cool tree at Tuesday Morning on sale.

Very elegant.
This Joe figure was a true winner. I'd love to see a line that features all types of ancient warriors from around the world.

Oh my, sorry it has been so long guys. Thanks for the replies gents, and I do have more Samurai on the way. Today I have a new project to share from the OG13 site, Cobra Recoiled. Here is my entry for an all new cobra character. Please read the file card for her story.

Nice!  The Samurai, The Squad Leader, file cards, and back stories.  Awesome.  And yes, I'm right there with you.  Our 2nd is going to turn 1 next month and our oldest just turned 3.  No time for much of anything, let alone customizing.  Happy New Year to you and yours.  Maybe you can get in a couple of customs…hehe.

[Tamer]

Looks great Spry. Off to share. That data card is great!

[Starchaser]

Wow, both the samurai and the ninja squad leader are fantastic. The samurai paint job is just gorgeous. I love the hair and scarf on the ninja leader. Great job on the file cards too!

[hemble]

Awesome work as always Spry your attention to detail is spot as always.

L.E. you are the man! Your body of work is so extensive now it is mind-blowing.

[Bronxstalker]

Nice.

I see some cobra shock troopers in there.  Dang shame they're so hard to find at a reasonable cost.

[Clonehead]

fantastic work, LE!

[Luke Sprywalker]

Thanks guys! This set was great fun to create and the diversity in subjects is what keeps me going after all these years. I hope to get back into some Star Wars customs soon!

[Stan]

Luke, I  néw on the boards, you got some great attention to detail!  Csn you help with one of your great customs,  the human skiff guard, what figure did you use for the upper part of the body?  I learn that you sculpt the shoulder pads and the wrist pads.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
