I still want to do one of these. When I finally get the money (and time) to do it. Im going to make it... vintage, persay. Im going to do all of the Samurai type armor, give it a nice dark wood base color, then paint over it, so where I chip and damage the paint on it, it looks like wood, as opposed to metal. As far as colors, Im probably going to mimic it after Tokugawa's armor
