YARI!
« on: May 30, 2011, 19:41:50 »
Hey guys!

Here is my version of the Japanese long spear with straight blade aka the Yari. I made several and in the picture I dismantled one to show you how it's done. I drilled a hole in the spear shaft and one in the gladius blade. They're connected with a tiny iron piece (from a paper clip).
Presented to you by my new Ashigaru (Japanese footman), who would like to have a better helmet but can only afford a paper one for now.  :lol:

Enjoy!

You're reading my mind Cheng!
I've already started on the Kabuto, I'm using a new resin (for me) called Green Stuff. I'll see what it's worth...
Cheers,
Arnaud

I think I am done with Samurai weapons,
At least until I finish the yumi. (The proper yumi) :)9
As for creating the Yari, I don't think I will.
One cool pole weapon is enough for me. (For now.)
I don't have enough people to make more weapons for. :P
Steck is BACK! <:>
