Scaled Shamisen

General
#1

I have a request if anyone could possibly take it up, I’m not very good at carving…

Anyway I have a Ball-Joint Doll and I plan on taking her with me to the cons as I attend them and I will be playing my Shamisen, she is going to kind of be my mascot.

I was wondering if anyone who knew how to carve could make a 1/4 scale Shamisen…I’m not used to working with smaller things like that (other than carving a design into something) so I figured i’d ask first before I set out trying to do it.

That might be perfect! Awesome thanks!

problem is that bjd 1/4 isn’t true 1/4 scale, so you have to be careful (for example my 1/3 DZ is 72cm’s so he’s much larger than a standard 60cm) I’ve had a couple of toy shamisen but none of them the right scale.

That one linked to should’ be okay so i wish you heaps of luck in getting it.
