This is the Ronin Samurai Takimoto Oda Nobunaga from the Rokun District of Japan, my son James made the full Battle dress including sculpted mask and Katana Samurai sword

I think this would would make a great addition to a new range for the 50th Anniversery of GI Joe the Range could be called Warriors through the ages and contain all the great Battle dress from the Romans to the Battle of Waterloo and more what do you all think

Very smart bash! We were discussing the very subject on chat a few days ago, Samurai would make a great
Addition, Napoleonic and Knights seemed popular also WW1 scored high......if only Hasbro respected the customer!


I've been painting some Asian heads I'd love to attempt a Samurai....hmmmmm?

Thanks Jim, he's very clever with stuff like this, he made the samurai sword out of a junior hacksaw blade and made the mask to mould exactly to VAMs face by using cling film prior to applying sculpting material  cheers Ian

Cheers Clive yes I asked James to help me to make this outfit for Joe's 50th and he's again shone through. Only trouble is that his bamboo blinds in his bedroom look a bit chopped up now and my junior hacksaw is what you may call bladeless  lol!

Nice custom outfits, Ian! Cool

Is that a kitbash of Ross Poldark (dressed in blue, late 18th century)?

Hi mate that outfit started as one of the Dr Who villains you've possibly seen it, the one with the painted face mask and wig that removes and then has a clear robotic head underneath Suspect But Poldark would be about right for this period Twisted Evil

Cheers Ian
