A Daimyo's guard
« on: June 09, 2014, 02:49:45 »
the term 'Daimyo'; "dai" (大) literally means "large", and "myō" stands for myōden (名田), meaning private land. A powerful feudal ruler from the 10th century to the middle 19th century in Japan following the Shogun.

Very nice :)  (and THOSE legs!)

Did you remake his head?

thanks ..and what do you call those 'useless' legs? (I call skate-boarders legs, being the first klickies to come out with them, I think) ....pampers-legs? (I called the other groin-protective belts 'pampers') until someone (Heather?) comes up with official-sounding names.

I must have explained how I make those have-shaven samurai heads (cut from the pony-tailed hairpiece holding a disc from another head...our methods are really gross aren't they? :P

Full diaper legs (that's the polite version)  :P

Sorry, I don't remember about the heads - so, that's a piece of another head!? :o

Again, an awesome custom, master cheng. Great use of those legs! I don't always comment on your customs but I do see them all, as I'm a fan of your work! This is how an Asian theme should have looked like!

Thanks Lynx! I would have grounded to a stop if not for Playmofriends....I know many are not famliar and so my ancient 'Asians' do look strange to westerners....here's one of my inspiration for this custom (besides those movies like 'Ran' of course)

and Tahra, do you recognise his diaper-trousers now? Can you please forward this to one of the 77 designers? ;D

Excellent custom, my friend! But, can you imagine if he could carry his two swords across his belt?… :love:
