Thank you Stryker!

CHEERS!

I hope so, got enough builds still to do! Laughing

Thanks GF! Still not 100% sure what I'm doing with the tree, I'll spray it with some acrylic clear to protect it then either use the bottom part of it with the previously shown dio as the vines with TH Wraith and the top half with the LOTR Wraith or use it as one piece to recreate the Hobbits hiding from the LOTR Wraith.....options... Or build a Headless Horseman from Sleepy Hollow! Wink

Thank you very much TGF! I love your LOTR work, it's always so well finished!! I still need to practice leather-craft skills! I've got a custom Arwyn to do later but I'll be cheating using Asmus armour Embarassed the biggest pain is her sword, I was hoping to get hold of a 1/6 WW double horse head hilted sword but they only seem to be making the double dragon God Killer versions.

It's great you keep yourself occupied. I'm resorting to gaming to keep me going till I move. I was a diehard PS2 owner for several years!

CHEERS!

I'm terrible at video games! Always have been, just mash buttons and get frustrated Wink .
I'll be taking proper pics of the Reaper Wraith later.

Started work on the Ronin Wraith as I'm calling him, yes I know Ronin warriors were essentially masterless mercenaries but it just sounds better than Samurai Wraith even though the Wraith most certainly have a master!pirat   Undid all the complex knots to remove the armour from the original custom figure (these are full metal and real cord armour, not that plastic armour with moulded cord they are putting out on many figures), removed all the red felt then the ink with sandpaper. Touched it up with silver, I'll bathe it in black ink then go over it drybrushing mail silver and see how it looks as I don't want paint build up on the cords. I need to make is black hakama from a pair of 1/4 scale trousers and his haori too. The kabuto will be using the Noland Predator one as a base adding fukigaeshi and kuwagata shaped like the vertical eye of Sauron with a demonic menpo. I'm thinking he'll have a pair of tashi and a naginata or yari as weapons. I'll be adding detail to the do (breastplate) as well.

I second Stryker. What did the original custom figure do to deserve this sort of treatment? Smile

Never liked him or the build really, it was sort of an idea after watching the 2nd Wolverine movie I think, or maybe it was before can't remember but he never fitted in with any of my displays including my large samurai display...he just looked naff! Laughing

It is. That symbol has appeared on every single Blue Oyster Cult album somewhere. Most of the time, it's pretty easy to find, but not always. It's the creation of the artist who drew their premier album cover, but closely resembles the Egyptian hieroglyph for lead.

I've always liked it and will "procure" it for use from time to time.

How appropriate the two of you discussing Blue Oyster Cult, when your avatar, shovelchop, is something of a "Reaper"... Wink

Too true! Laughing Talking of Reapers, just finished the photoshoot of my Reaper Wraith battling Gandalf (he was unconscious in this scene but I don't have an Elrond, I should make one...) but he's on the White Council. I'm uploading them now to imgur.

Reminds me of the symbol the Iron Maiden artist Derek Riggs would use as his signature. Looking forward to seeing the Gandalf dio.

CHEERS!

That must be it, always been a die-hard Iron Maiden fan and grew up copying Derek Riggs' cover art! Cool

Took me years to realise what that symbol actually was. Maiden covers were best on vinyl, especially Somewhere In Time, packed with little Maiden easter eggs just waiting to be discovered.

CHEERS!

Done paint mostly, touching up the 'chrome' silver then drenching it all in black ink, drying now but will do the mail silver drybrushing later. Livened up the chest plate a lot with two random bits for decoration (one came from a small Narnia minotaur figure Wink ). As you can or rather can't see he's swimming in those 1/4 scale trousers! Laughing Obviously some tailoring to be done there but need the wide trouser legs for the pleated Hakama look. Just started faffing with the kabuto and menpo but nothing special done yet.

Looking good so far. Once you have all nine, this is going to be epic.

You bastard.. got that bloody awful song in my head now!! Wink I won't be adding giant shoulder pads on top of the armour though! Or a square flat topped helmet!

Nearly there, got that giant Sauron to build as well though...
