I got a couple of your ninjatos, and they were great other than marring on the blade, I presume from the casting process.

Need to find a nodachi. A larger sword would probably be a better fit.

Or maybe a better scaled sword stand, as opossed to one made for 2x4 studs.

No good factory katanas?

Close... but nope. But then I have scale/proportion issues.

I've thought about making various sword stands, but I have a lack of swords worth the effort.

My custom Mail Order Ninja sword, Spy Lounge, Obi's Katana, and Obi's Ninato. I also have a shorter version of Obi's Ninjato getting molded right now so you can have replacements for your Renegades/Ultimate Storm Shadow. Eventually I'll get around to molding all the custom ninja weapons I've made.

Angel Forge or Slayer had a smaller sword stand. I have to see if I can locate it.

I have a Spy Lounge one, kind of meh on it.

It just happened to be in the photo but it's decent for a modern ninjato. Here's the Angel Forge/Slayer sword stand, tea pot, shuriken, katana, and ninjato. Below those are my custom ninjato, Marauder katana, Gigabread ninjato, and the Spy Lounge ninjato for scale ;)

The turret will be for sale once I finish the vehicle adapters and get some stock built up. It will include a gun and clear windows.

The Sol Commander is just for fun. I thought I might as well cast it once it was disassembled. That figure went back together easily too. Casts might be used for some contests or giveaways. You're better off getting the official version for $20 as the cast version would likely cost about double that :/ .

Unlike say... the SOAR figure, that you can't get elswhere. Ahhh... but look at that casting quality. That's some good looking shit right there.

If I ever nail down the exact lay out I'm gonna have to do a version with numbers on most of the items and then a description like the Battle Corps Joes had.

It's almost impossible because she...I meant it, is cavernous!

I had to recognize the snake on top to realize that wasn't your fucking house! That's ridiculous! Pic next to a figure? My brain needs to see that,so the other half will believe that's 1:18

Yup, This one hasn't been painted and set on fire, and also has the metal sheets in place.

I've reread The Adventures of Tom Sawyer recently and am thinking of tying the pistol in to him, though I may just do a custom if I can think of a representation that doesn't scream "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Ripoff".

I'll try to have a size pic tomorrow, Contraband. I've mislaid the USB cable for my camera, and apparently it's a proprietary deal so I now have to jump through some hoops to get pics on this computer.

Yeah, but this computer won't take the card that's in the camera.

Ma.K?

I'm not sure I like the canopy opening downwards, but I'm worried about trying to switch out the hinge system.
Still need to paint it, add some details, etc.

I like where you're going with that, Bob. The head part might be a little on the large size, but that's just my opinion. Is that the Chap Mei diving suit you're using as a base?

Yep, Chap Mei. I know the head looks large, but I had to use an easter egg that had the proper circumference, otherwise I was going to have to sculpt one from scratch.

Now that you all mention it, it is starting to bother me. I already cut the original shape down to keep it from being so bulbous....what the heck do I do now? I went through a ton of plastic easter eggs looking for one that was close, and this was the closest...and it still needed work to get to this point.

Crap, and after I already spent a ton of time puttying and sanding. :(
