The short sword goes on his back. The tanto(knife) and katana goes on his waist. LolView attachment 551148View attachment 551147
Bad photo in bad lighting but, I think I got it all figured out now.
He’s incredible! Only annoying thing is the green ribbons around his shins constantly falling off. And I still have no idea where the little bombs are supposed to go on the armor
Then I untie the green sash and realize, it has Velcro under the arm 
The kunai don't stay on the chest. It would probably be more effective to use actual straps instead of those pins.
The gloves have elastic straps you'll have to be careful and slide them off the fingers. Use tweezers if you have them (ideally the clear plastic kind) I just got the vest today from ebay and put him on no issues. I'm a perfectionist so I try to get it to look as close to the game as possible but VTS didn't consider accuracy when making the figure so I have to live with what we got. LolIt took forever to get the vest on this guy because of the armor, then I look at the pictures and I see the rope and green sash go on top of the vest.
Anyway it looks really cool once its all set up. I put some tape on the inside of the mask to protect the face. Not sure it'll make a difference. How do you swap the hands on this figure? The gloves seem to be sewn to the sleeve
The deluxe base is beautifully painted. I'd only pick it up from the bottom, all the leaves look really delicate/fragile. And be gentle when placing the figure on it to avoid scratching the paint.
Sounds great, I think some photos of the result would be welcome, if you can/want to share them.
Yeah no problem. I didn't have time last night to post but here is a quick image. And a in game comparison not 100% but I got the belt line as close as possible.
Wow, this is really amazing, you can see the care you have put into every detail. If you don't mind, I will use this photos as a reference to arrange my figure. Congratulations and thanks for sharing!
No worries, glad I could be of help can't wait to see your posts. Cheers.Wow, this is really amazing, you can see the care you have put into every detail. If you don't mind, I will use this photos as a reference to arrange my figure. Congratulations and thanks for sharing!
Sure, I'm trying to get one. By the way, what do you think of the strings with the figure in hand? They look a bit thick in photos, but they don't look too bad either. Do you think it would be worth looking for a thinner cord to replace them? Regarding the cape, I have the doubt whether it would be worth buying the deluxe version, because the standard one seems more attractive and dynamic. Maybe I'll get one to try...
I was thinking of doing that but I would need to find that type of cord/string. To be clear I have the standard version and bought the vest and long cape from the deluxe set which was parted out on ebay. I prefer him with the vest and long cape.
I'm tracking a standard version too, because I don't like the stand anyway, and I'll get loose pieces like the vest and long cape to complete the look. About the cords, I think it would be possible to find similar ones in a haberdashery, or perhaps on Aliexpress, something like this 2 mm diameter paracord also available on a darker brown color:
Can you explain what you did if it's not to much to ask?
Jin Sakai mods :
I meant what was the process, like the paint you used, and how you got the armour for the legs more up and closer to the game. Thanks for your reply.
