Many of you have followed the builds by Agent Cooper, Lyonn, and myself in 1/60 scale. L has done an Osiris, Hunchback and now his Highlander. Cooper has done more than I can count. I have just started a TRO style Masakari. Some initial pics are up at my blog.....

Enjoy the build!

Okay, I have made huge progress but only have a couple more pictures. I am blending the TRO version with the MW4 version. These feet I did are a good example. I made the feet in the MW4 style but incorporated the rounded shin areas from the TRO version.

Are these made from resin, or plastic?

Either way, the moment I get some money, I'm going to be lobbing it at you.

[TheTeacher]

It starts as plastic, but some pieces end up in resin. The foot for example, why make 2 when I can make 1, mold it and cast as many as I want. Same with the lower leg...I made 1 master piece and just cast copies. Now the upper legs and body are plastic. Resin would be way heavy there. To ensure strength, once I make the pieces, I fill them with expanding foam. This way they are light but sturdy.
