Here is a new custom from me.

When I was young, I saw in german television a series which called "Sandokan - Der Tiger von Malaysia" (Sandokan - The Tiger of Malaysia). I think it was at the end of the seventies in 1977 or 1978.

This series have had fascinated me so much, that I have got the inspiration to create this figure.

Enjoy

hey bennain,

Sandakan(in formerly British-Borneo, i think) was probably 'popular' with 'off-shore pirates' during the seventies...(from neighbouring philippines/Indonesia)
but i didnt realise they are so 'famous' that the germans made a TV series  :lol:

your hands must have got serious cramps painting those lines  :P  

the Tiger of Malaya was given to a ruthless Japanese General occuppying what was call 'Malaya' during WWII
so this Tiger of Malaysia is a fiction...he must have been a Robin Hood in your young eyes then  :wink:  

thanks for sharing your fantasy! (was he the good pirate?)

Unfortunatey the DVD by Amazon is only in german and italian language, no englisch synchronisation.

So! Last weekend a good friend has visited me. He saw some of my figures and customs and said to me, that he wants to make also a custom. I gave him some legs, arms, a head and a body and also some equipment. This is the result of my friend:

So, I've created an enemy for the romans. The picture shows a persian bowman. For the moment I'm a little unhappy with this custom, because the bow is not really good. I look for these from special 4527.
