I realised how long it has been since posting my last custom...
and since I have a few lying around the house I will show you one I am particularily proud of. :)
This is my Samurai,
An ancient warrior from Japan. They were extreamly skilled with a sword and bow.
Samurai were Japan's fighting force untill the era of gun powder reached its shores.

Hai, WOT-san...so desu ne! Ii desu yo! Ichiban!! (yes..very good...number one!)

Thanks Richard!
Arigato Cheng-san!
Your Samurai customs inspired me to make this one.

That's a very good looking samurai, WarriorOfToys! :)
My only suggestion would be to switch his head to an Asian one and switch his broad sword to one of these:

Thanks! ;D
I do not have either of these items, nor an Aisan head...
That is why he is not quite right...
But I am planning on updating him when I do get these items. :)

Hi everyone!
As promised, more photos!
The flag is held on with a Playmoibl clip:

Samurai were know for their horsemanship as well,
In 553 AD one of the Korean dynasties (Paekche) asked Japan for a large supply of bows and horses...
This indicates to historians that horse archers were now a large part of Japan's army.

Very nice additions!

An ancient warrior from Japan. They were extreamly skilled with a sword and bow.
Samurai were Japan's fighting force untill the era of gun powder reached its shores.
This statement is not... accurate...
Samurai tacticians actually revolutionized gunpowder tactics in Asia. In 1590, Hideyoshi sailed the largest firearm-equipped army in the world against Korea. The samurai officers didn't drill with firearms (The lower ranking soldiers did), but samurai officered these men.
What ended the "samurai" era was Emperor Meiji re-establishing control of the country. Arguably, though, the samurai warrior didn't breath his last until Aug 15, 1945 (Japanese military officers into the 1940s tended to come from Samurai family)
By the late 1600s, Japan was well-fortified with guns and cannons. But, the Tokugawa ruling family closed Japan's doors to the outside world and restricted military production (for internal stability against rebellious vassals), and these guns and cannons rusted on their mountings.

Cool, thanks for the correction Timotheos. :)
That is intresting to know, because I always had though that the Samurai "ended"
their role in Japan with the invention of gun-powder.
Due to the fact that they were no longer as useful on the battle field.
