The legs where the LAST thing I did and they bugged me THE MOST. Oh my god it got to the point where I went with the metru lower leg D: The black pads on his legs are obviously shin gaurds like Samurai's had

The torso took time for the sides to develop because I wanted shoulder pads but... well that ship sailed... AND the torso was pretty impressive it is definitely one of my favorite features on the moc!!!

The arms weren't hard as such but more in I couldn't come up with anything so I went for my default idea with a metru shoulder pad and metru arm.

AND before I go any further I would like to mention THAT I DID NOT realize it was almost fully metru armored until I finished him.

This head design was the second head choice I used mainly because a Nitronian head with a red Lego dish wasent as samurai like as I wanted it. So I went with the flipped Antroz mask which kinda looks like a samurai helmet and I added the gold horns on top (which is an illegal part use) to give him a cross between a samurai helmet and a devil look, I believe I accomplished that look.

The sword not much to say here except enjoy the pic!

Hotaru: Bye guys and good luck to everyone else!

My opponent Darren .Y

Quoting Chronos Omega Forearms and lower legs need work.

They do they're so basic in the end I started to hate this moc.

Between the two samurai I felt your opponent's samurai had a better representative look. Sorry but i vote for your opponent.

Whoa this is a fantastic build! I too had serious issues with the legs and managed to scrape something decent in the end. The torso looks great and nice use of that Antroz mask. I'll think I may be able to post up my moc today if time permits. As I said before brilliant, absolutely brilliant! ^.^

Quoting Dark Crusader To be completely honest, the only part of this that looks samurai-ish(to me atleast) is the head. He's just too skinny. When I think samurai, I think big, bulky armor, broad shoulders, and an armored skirt of sorts, similar to this http://arcipello.deviantart.com/art/Shen-Ku-The-Dark-Samurai-711098

How bout' we reflect on the pro's on the moc then.

I agree with Dark Crusader. Explaining it is good, but I keep my opinion. He seems to be from that age, yes, but not to be a Samurai, more a Demon creature from a Japan Tale.

Quoting L.A. Miranda Although I really like this creation (Mask, design, weapon, poseability... Everything is great!) I can't see a Samurai look on him... Anyway, good luck!

You gotta, kinda, have to read the C&C to understand the Samurai look...

Great entry, the head is rather interesting. The only thing that bothers me is those lower legs, they are too simple. As for the arms, they work with the build. Anyways, good luck :)
