    Hi Wayne

    just googled ......

    In Japanese, kagemusha is a term used to denote a political decoy. It is set in the Sengoku period of Japanese history and tells the story of a lower-class criminal who is taught to impersonate a dying daimyō to dissuade opposing lords from attacking the newly vulnerable clan.

    Common translation is "Shadow Warrior"......taken from the film of the same name (Kagemusha) by Akira Kurosawa :sneaky:

    Hope the nipples were hard and it was a black and white movie, other then that I thought your avatar was a pissed off Indian sitting by a campfire contemplating what he was going to do to the guy that pissed him off. I guess I should have looked a bit closer..............................................and put on my optivisors.

    Yes,...I agree...I'm starting to think Derek is actually Marty Feldman with optivisors ,...However,...I think the flesh tones look great, other then the forehead and chin may need to be toned down a bit.

    Wayne:)

    P.S...I might also state that Marty was a great looking guy when he "walked this way".

    My final thought on this .......

    PF as any forum will have highs and lows but is only as good as members input and participation ...

    no matter how small .....

    ......so

    .......spread the word

    ....contribute

    ...suggest idea's

    ....ENJOY your hobby and share your work

    It's the Lounge......... it has always gone where the membership takes it.
    The strength of pF has always been its scope for a wee bit harmless banter that provides a diversion from the more serious discussions.
    Where things have got out of hand the moderators have always taken appropriate action.
    Should a 'dead hand' be applied to particlarly the Lounge that would bethe end of my long involvement with the forum.

    As relative new comer to the band of merry men ( not sure if we have any ladies ) I have been really impressed with the response I have been given when asking a question and in fact have actually met a couple of members who have been more than helpful. Perhaps we could liven things up a bit by having our own in house competitions, different classes, different levels with various scales judged by other members of course. The works can be sent in via photo or even a short video link of the figure , just an idea not sure if its been done before .........
