Samurai 1, 2

7/15/14

This was an old New Hope Design figure made about 20 years back. I have decided to re-furbish it for posterity.

The sculpted quality is a little rough but is typical for that period of production.

The figure appears static and is merely standing on a base of grass. The colours appear dull.

The base painted red appears garish. Overall, the colours do not harmonise.




With some trepidation, I used a screwdriver to prise out the figure from off the base. This was not too difficult as the figure was cast in one piece together with its stand. The new base is an oriental looking base and very well-made.


I decided to elevate the overall piece by raising the groundwork.
