    Hi bob,
    I've noticed that you haven't gotten any responses to your project.
    I think I might know why not.
    It's that executable file you have there. I'd like to see what you're working on but I'm not going to download an executable file to do it. There're too many risks involved in doing something like this.
    Do you think you could try posting one or two pictures instead? Or maybe a link to where they are posted?
    I'd be willing to bet that you'll get some responses then.
    Just a suggestion...no offense intended.

    Plus it doesn't actually work anyway (I downloaded it @ work & it's a corrupt file :( )
    I'd like to see some pics of this too!

    Hi bob,
    Glad to see you got that worked out.
    Now, if this is what you're posting until you have something better...I can't wait!
    This is extremely nice looking. Good job there. I've never had the courage to try one of these samurai figures.

    Hi Bob,

    Nice work (y)! I love the colors you chose, but that's why I love samurai-- they're so colorful.

    You indicate that this figure is a conversion from a bust. What parts of the figure did you build, and is the horse also scratchbuilt? Also, if any of the armor or the arrows are scratchbuilt, I'd love to hear how you did them. I need some arrows for a conversion I'm working on, and I'm not satisfied with what I've come up with so far.

    Gentlemen I thank you,more pics to follow , the bust is the harton min samurai with reworked arms, the horse is the old airfix 1/12th standing bengal lancer and 1/2 kilo of magicsculpt
    I made a single row of lacing for the armour and used a moulding rubber from the art shop called siligum which cures in minutes to cast rows of lacing and fixed to form the bottom 1/2 of the figure
    saddle stirrups and horse furniture all from magicsculpt reference from the Leed Armouries who have a brilliant samurai section.
    bow from beaten brass rod and MS.arrows reworked from the kit with thin brass rod
