I'm working on a custom version of Mr. Bushido's Ahead: first i have cut new holes to accommodate new vents on the sides of the chest:    then i have modded in the same way on the upper legs:  the overall look:     and lately i am modding the lower legs to show the shins and add vents:  1. mark the distances for scribing with masking tape 2. scribe pe line using ingraver, line scriber (in my case 0.1 mm tamiya engraver) 3. cut away |

time for some updates: -I have mode the crest (wakidate i believe it called), from the back to the front of the head. the original pegs were cut because they wouldn't fit , but i fitted the crest via pla-plate: i have cut a groove in both the crest and the head piece. the final result is more close to a traditional samurai helmet design - my opinion - i might be wrong   -Playing around with knee designs... only difference is reversed pads... and i've gone with the B configuration  -I found this on the web and i want to replicate the mane on the Ahead using unprocessed sheep wool  -For easy painting i have cut the knee articulation in order to fit then without dismantling the upper legs. the policap is left on the upper legs and fits with a little push, thus retaining its functionality. the legs articulation is undamaged, but now is paint-able without dismantling needed  thank you for your time... any Comments and critiques are most welcomed |

Updates: Decided to use the extra shield parts from Mega Shiki as the new shpulder shield on the Ahead. I have added a policap on the pack of it increased in pla-plate mount  The back of the shield... you can see the policap casing and that the underneth will house one of the original Katanas  New shield vs old shield  Overall look on the MS:  |
