Loving the parts mixing up with Budo and paint work.

The 2nd guy is a good LBC with just parts mixing. I hope there are more Samurai customs incoming.

Never knew just how good Kota's head would look as a samarai type. Never thought about using him for anything, but I have an extra Kota somewhere to use this idea. Thanks!

Budo looks fantastic.

I betting yes...and it's an awesome job...I was wondering if it was possible to make Budo look more classically Budo and you proved it can be done...:thumbsup:

Someday someone (probably fall to me, dammit) will make a Budo that makes fucking sense.

I am working on a Spec Ops themed Budo with nods to the original but it's so hard to blend the two and make it work. It will be something akin to the POC/30th lines that did this type of blending so well.

Unfortunately unless he's running around with a sword and armor most people will just say "It doesn't say "Budo" to me."


I'd pick my time period, branch of service and build the figure.The only ethnically Japanese things on him aside from his head would be a hachimaki and maybe a katana if I was feeling particularly generous about giving a nod to the ARAH design.

Awesome! I love Samurai! I have both of those heads and a few others waiting to be used on some Samurai myself. I'm one of the few army building Budo. The Rahm Kota head has been the face of my Daremo character for years now. Too bad we can't get an abundance of female Asian headsculpts. I'm going to need some geisha for my Samurai. Add hakama pants to that list too.

Jesus D! You really need to start up a customs thread and post your old stuff. So much win!
