Nice idea, off to share.

This weekend has been mad with my daughters birthday but I was up early enough that I was able to squeeze in time to work on dojo.
Using bolsa wood for the wood trim around the room after spray painting the inside white and outside black. Normally I would have left this until further along but I couldn't progress with adding the wood until a coat of paint was added.

I have decided against using the bamboo place mat as the floor. Thinking of shaping it to look like a wooden floor with mats on it.

I decided to also work on the Stun I had started working on and it's flags.

Using Apoxy sculpt, I have take sculpt of the base for each flag. While waiting for it to cure, I cut off the original polls and attached the flags onto two pieces of wire. The wire was then inserted into each of the new base.

When the apoxy sculpt has cured then I can paint then and house them into the Stun.

First layer of paint added to cast while the flags are curing.

Thanks Tamer and Ron.

Last night I applied a burnt sienna wash was applied to beams on the walls, then a burnt umber wash was applied to the rim of the base.

Look real to me. Off to share the latest.

After completing the restore of the Cobra Stun, I can now go back to the Dojo.
The Shinto Shrine needs another coat of paint, the top of the shrine needs a layer of burnt umber.
A boarder of vermillion has been applied, when it's dry the mats will be painted and then the weapon racks need to be built.

Exciting news!
I came home from work tonight to find the last missing piece of my Stun had arrived! The package was ripped open and yes the swivel canon had arrived. Now all the pieces have dried and been added to the Stun.
I hope you enjoy the final photos of the completely restored 1986 Cobra Stun, where I have casted two wheel trims and adapted two original broken flags with picture wire to restore this vehicle to its former glory.
I hope I have done it justice!

[RCWCreations]

Thanks guys

I've had a busy day today, touched up the edge of the floor and the wood work of the walls with another coat of burnt umber. A coat of black paint has been applied to exterior walls.
While all this is drying, I cut a piece of foam board, applied a coat of white paint. When that had dried I painted on the Arashikage logo, after it dried it was applied the centre of the back wall, centred for the Shinto shrine to fit around it.
Using bolsa wood I made up a sword rack, which fills the gap on the right wall.

[RCWCreations]

Yesterday morning I was able to apply a black wash I've the shrine, a black boarder to floor and the walls and then apply a coat of black to the weapons the rack.
Just need to add another layer of white to the walls and black to the weapons rack and cast another couple of swords before saying that this is completed.
