January 2026 update

Happy New Year to all our visitors. For the first post of the new year, I would like to pay my tribute to figure designer/sculptor Richard Almond. Richard was a prolific and talented figure designer/sculptor from the first golden age of figure modelling. The article is under What's New and References tab. I may be posting some more reviews and garage kits later this month. Thank you for visiting my blog.

  

December update 

As the year comes to an end, I wish to all my visitors a Merry Christmas, a Healthy and Prosperous New Year. For my last Samurai kit review for 2025, I present to you the Japanese falconer bust by De Tara from my grey army. I hope there will be more for 2026.

Thank you for visiting my blog and looking forward to all your comments.

November update

Finally after working for over for two months, the two articles on Samurai O-yorio Egawa and Odoshi are all finished and now they are posted under "What's New" and "Samurai resources" tabs. Lots of information on the two overlooked subjects. Hope you find them informative and useful. Looking forward for your valuable comments.

October update

I am working on an article on Samurai O-Yoroi Egawa and Odoshi lacing pattern since September. It should take another two to three weeks to get it finish which will then be posted under Samurai Resources. So stay tuned for the updates.

September update

Summer is over and I notice there is no new Samruai figure kit in the figure kit market. So I am doing some Samurai figure reviews from my grey army. So far I have done Kato Kiyomasa hunting tiger, Mounted Taisho, Taisho, The Trophy, and Chinese Boxer for the historical kits.

It's been more than nine months since I launched this personal blog. So far, there are 400 vistors from over 30 countries and over 12,000 pageviews. But there is only a handful of comments. I would like to see more comments from my visitors. I do not make any money (absoutely zero revenue) from my blog. Not like other blogs or websites, they generate revenue for their owners by the number of vistors or running ads or selling something. 

For anything new or my new reviews, they are always under the "What's New" tab or under "Blog Archive" on the right column of my blog.

Thank you for visting my blog.

June update

I did a quick review on Pegaso 16th Century Samurai Warrior bust. It is a preorder for the upcoming World Model Export in Versailles.

April and May update

I had not done anything in April due to my brother had passed away. I have been working hard in May/June on a couple of my new PDF files. They are now ready. Please check them out under Samurai Resources. Thank you for looking!

My PDF files update

I am gradually uploading all my Samurai PDF and uniform plates PDF files that were once available on PlanetFigure many years ago and were deleted. They are now avaliable again only on my blog. New ones are in the works. Please check them out under Samurai resources and References tabs.
