I agree that the appeal of this set is undeniable =8^)
I almost said 3053...After building a couple of these, there is alot of
detail and the Tan+blue color scheme seems to really work. I have more
elements in white, red, + black than Blue+tan so I went with the FNF. (Heck
I had 2-3 FNFs by the time 3053 came out...lol)

That's what led to me making "double height" doors...a compromise to be
sure, but I like the scale.

Great minds think alike...lol

I have the same desire to use MANY figures without the standard helmet, disc
or Ninja scarf...I tried the exposed head stud look for awhile, but I wasn't
totally happy with it aesthetically. In addition to Japanese character, I
wanted to do Chinese peasants and Mongols, but it was hard to do without
different armor, hair or helms. That frustration was the driving force in
the development of my "tire head" Steppe clan/ Mongols.
I agree that the Islander hair is not ideal, but, all in all, it is a
functional compromise for me...It looks much better on female figures, but I
don't have any currently.

| (...) True. It is fairly close to the hairstyle of Japanese women at that time. Maybe I'll have to get me an islander or three now. I'm gonna need a Tomoe Gozen minifig for a project and that would look better than the standard long hair. Chris (24 years ago, 7-Mar-01, to lugnet.castle.ninja)
