Just some painted 28mm Samurai - Steel Fist Miniatures

[RoyWilliamson]

I painted these Steel Fist Miniatures Samurai over the last few weeks. I have to say I quite enjoyed the experience and they were a pleasure to work with.







Cheers,

Lovely work!

I really like what you have done with the patterns on the cloth trousers and texture of the armour. May I ask if the lightning bolt square sashimono is that of a historical figure?

Also, did you drill out the sashimono holder or 'shave' the poles supplied by Steel Fist?

I am starting work on some of these myself and am still a little daunted by the amount of detail in these miniatures.

I plan on using these images as inspiration.

Thanks everyone

Pass. To be honest, I flicked through the book 'Europa Militaria Special No. 14: The Samurai' and modified a flag design shown in a photo on page 92. The caption for the picture reads; "The Soma festival is called 'the festival of flags', and no one rider carries the same flag. There is a flag list book that samurai groups can choose and register which one they want." So, my flag being a modified design, I don't know if the example shown in the photo is historic or accurate, unfortunately.

Here's a photo from the same event, but different to the one in the book. It does show the same flag, however.

Also, did you drill out the sashimono holder or 'shave' the poles supplied by Steel Fist?

I drilled out the holders. The sashimono and red leaves/feathers/whatevers* are the original cast metal that comes with the miniatures. The other two poles are actually steel pins, cut to size and superglued.

*obviously I don't know what they're called
