Always on the lookout for something to do on playdays - found this in St Crispins Arcade Beverley for £5 - yes befor anybody asks it was the heads on a pole that attracted me hohohho
As well as Diamyo Zak and his men the set has 6 ninja figures, so that ninja Martin, ninja Howard attacking him but I need 4 more volunteers ;) ;) ;) ;)
Yes ChrisH the riders all have "HORO" a cloak worn over a bamboo framework as you mentioned some time ago.
I see, more abuse for me to come no doubt!
That'll keep you off the streets for a while Martin.

YES lots and lots and lots hohohhoho ::) ::) ::)
Good to see your memories not failing yet. If you put one of the heads on the ground then you could re-enact the scene from Shogun where was it Ishido was buried up to his neck and passers by were invited to saw at his neck with bamboo saw? Nice!! This after he was told he would die an old man!!!
3 wire trees made during playday 28 - they are windswept before somebody says they are at an angle :P :P :P
Fastened down onto some plastic cards with pegs and next job glue and then filler to make the bark.
This makes you 'Our Man' in Special Branch I suppose.............
NO still working for the KGB hohohoho
First layer of filler and PVA added t the 3 trees. Now to let it dry solid and then put another thin layer on top with some paint included.
Bonsai. or is it Kamikaze!
NO - ninja after the diamyo hohohoho

I never said that I wasn't weird!

C'mon Martin every ones danced to Plastic Bertrand. If you'd called out people who'd danced to Tee Garden and Van Winkle and got some takers then I would have been surprised.
Tres now base coat of brown - next job some shading to represent bark, then the foliage.

Tres, is that a new Japanese word for trees?
Well the language does have short vowels.
Its the new word for 3 trees - yoho yoho yoho - or it could be the rum talking :P :P :P :P
Looking good Martin.
Three nice tree's and a nice three letter word from the creator of all things Msea.
Trial to sort out position and size of base - think it will end up with just 2 trees, so will have to come up with another name for just 2 trees hohohohoho
Base made and painted black on the edges and brown on the main part, so if any shows through the grass it will look like mud.
Looked in the wood store and found a nice bit of mahogany but though its for "Daimyo Dave so put it back and got a chunk of MDF yoho yoho yoho
In your parlance Martin two trees is ni tre or three trees san tre. The choice is yours.
I will throw that back to Zak - he started it all hohoho
Grass now added to the base next job is the trees - whatever we call them :-X :-X :-X
My lawn used to look like that a week or two ago. Luckily its greener now.
Realistic grass Martin

I've taken my bat and ball home, only MDF for me and no mahogany!
Yes but it will not crack or bend - yoho yoho yoho ::) ::) ::) ::)
