I'm sure I don't, but it looks like this axe is yours:

But his stuff looks majorly cool! I wonder if he plans on selling them?

The two infantry helmets look much better than the knight helmet to me. The knight helmet looks a bit too cartoony for my taste.

They're a bit on the fantasy side for me personally.

Also, the Knight's visor is blocking his view!

And yes,...cartoony.

Wow! Great, if your looking for fantasy stuff! Even if your not, he (or she) did a great job. The style is much like Red Bean's, but I don't think it is his.

If the visor wasn't so big, it would be cool. I really like the two other helms though. Do you think those are made of ABS or sculpty?

They look too shiney to be Sculpy - I'd say they look like cast plastic. Nicely done, but not to my taste.

I don't have a clue, but that helmet with the plume looks like it would be great for Eomer from the LR.

Wow! Great find Blasterman!!

Actually, I don't think his stuffs are as fantasy based as they might seem, in fact, they are highly historical accurate as ancient Chinese armors. Take a look at this picture:

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=761716

Now compare it to a suit of Qing Dynasty ceremonial armor:

Which makes me think this guy is a Chinese. I wish we can get him to participate on our forum somehow... I really like his works :D

I might buy these being Chinese, if not for the other 2 helms.
They look too European/fantasy to me.

Taiwanese? "Arealight Lego" in yahoo yields:

About the only English reads, "Taipei, Taiwan". Also a Yahoo email address if you want to give it a try.

Oops, forgot: he's member 647.

Anyway, I think that was well-spotted, Red, on the armor. I didn't bother with the sites because of the chinese characters when I looked this up earlier and simply figured he was from somewhere in the "east" until I saw your armor post. So I poked around to find what I presume is his member page.

Though it's clear that this guy has some talent when it comes to sculpting, I can't say that I'm too fond of the designs he's come up with. As others have said, the visored helm is just too cartoony, and I think that the one with the spike/spearhead thingy on the top looks silly. The last one is okay, but it kind of reminds me of Darth Vader. I'd stick with the official Lego helms if these were made available.
