here's what happened to the ronin figure i ended up not using in the deathwatch.
ronin base with a wonder man head, the armor is the sparing dummy on the marvel select brown wolverines base. i hollowed out the incredibly solid dummy and cut it up, cut out the eyes for the helmet and glued in shaved down wonder man head, mounted the shoulder armor on posts mid biceps to retain the arm movement, carved out a hole and set a acrylic gem into his torso, pulled off the legs and fit the skirt part around the waist then totally repainted. painted grey, black wash, then dry brushed in mithryl silver and painted red accents. gave him a ronin sword and he was ready
