my 7 samurai(s)
« on: September 04, 2006, 05:12:57 AM »
anyone seen the black and white movie?

sorry, lighting & focussing still to be improved

...i have always wanted to make these but never had any katana(s) so i can only make japanese spearmen, armoured horseback archers and a fighting monk

is everyone busy making roman customs?  ;D

Well done, Cheng!

Like almost everyone else, I too hope that Playmobil will someday offer a Samurai theme.

Thanks for sharing ...

Hi.

Very cool. As much as I like the samurai, I think the monk is my favorite. Cool idea for the beads. The Playmobil katanas are really too long to fit in a sword belt anyway, so spearmen are a good idea.

thanks everyone!

now for a little trivial pursuit;

1) i made the 'rattan' monks hat from my daughter's toy part...what was it or from which famous toy/brand?

2) the samurai's banner....which toy themes are the parts for the pole and banner from? (this one is easier than Q1)

i thought it was not fair of me to ask that question since there are so many plastic caps from bottles etc that could have looked the same

tell me your daughter has one of those pink barbie frisbees, then i can console myself  :D

Those are terrific Cheng! I loved the movie, although I much prefer and consider among my favorites of all time the "westernization" of the Seven Samurai, "The Magnificent Seven"!
