Attack of the Shoguns!

*Warning. Image heavy post.*

The rest of the Shoguns have invaded the house, barring a DIY which I may decide not to keep after all. Here's the unboxing of the Gorei/Tsuki 2 pack and the Shadow/Light set. 

Hold out at dumper set first! Front cover art. While it's a nice sketch, I much prefer the artwork on the single Gorei and Tsuki boxes. Looks like I might have to hunt them down, if I can even find them.

Shogun 7Bones Shiho

*Warning. Image heavy post.*

After a long wait, the Shoguns are here! As usual spam of unboxing pics. Only Shiho featured in this one, as I don't wanna rush the unwrapping of the rest of my Shoguns. 

Cool cover artwork, and both the Tsuki and Gorei singles have their own artwork too! Makes me wish I had bought a set of singles too. Anyway, this one follows the Seven Bones colour theme and numbering.

Custom (Copy) Cleavers

Didn't really take any WIP photos of this, but here's a sneak peek of something I'm working on. Used the same layered technique to make the 'metal' tang and blade, and experimented with a smaller outer layer to cut down on sanding time. Cut it a little too short, resulting in that line between the centre piece and the side pieces.

Tried a different way of making the handle, using balsa wood. Looks a lot more realistic after weathering thanks to the wood grain.

The Complete Ten Finger Gang

After much chasing on the secondary market, here they are!



These guys aren't the best value proposition since they're hard to offload, but oh well, expensive thrills of the chase.

Plus a guest appearance by Slaughterhouse DC!
