Japanese Samurai Amour Rack
« on: October 16, 2020, 10:31:58 AM »
Hi, I don't normally post very much, but I always check this forum as I enjoy seeing all the great ideas and effort every one puts into their miniatures and terrain. I need some help finding a miniature of a suit of Japanese Samurai amour on a  amour rack in 28mm-32mm . I shore I saw one on a Kickstarter of Japanese Samurai miniatures about a year or so again, I think it was by one of the larger companies not by a fly by night company. If any one knows of any companies that sell such a miniature can you please post the name of the company and I try and contact them. I post a picture of  what I mean as a guide. Thanks if any one can help me.

Zenit Miniatures had one in their Jinmaku Package, which was a Kickstarter indeed. No idea if it will be available separately regrettably.

Nice rack!
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Zenit does many Kickstarter campaings lately. In the pledge manager of those campaigns you'll have access to the whole range (including the rack you are looking for).
It is a bit sad that they dont update their store. There are tons of miniatures which are (at least for now) only avaiable through KS campaigns

Thanks Ciliatus and Panaldi regards Zenit miniatures information, I sent a email to them inquiring about the amour rack but haven't had a reply yet. Thank you both for your help in  pointing me in the right direction.

Charlemagne and I have also been looking for a samurai armor rack.  Please do let us know if the rack is available separately.  For such an iconic item of decor, you would think more makers would have produced one.

Metternich, if Zenit reply to my email I let you know if they have stock or can make it available on their web store.

Well... For those who missed the last Kickstarter i can say that there will be another one (Undead Samurai Part 2) in january 2021. There you'll have (as always) access to the whole range of the Kensei range.

The rack is part of the Jinmaku miniature set which includes 7 miniatures, the armor and the sword rack and costs 30€.

As for costumer support Zenit needs always a whole lot of time to react. But they are very nice guys.
Better contact them through facebook

Unfortunately, 30 Euro (plus postage to the States) is somewhat steep when all we would really need from the set is the Armor Rack.  Between Perry, Northstar and Test of Honor Charlemagne has a good selection of Bushi already (including the equivalent Perry Daimyo sets).  A shame that no firm which makes Japanese terrain and scenery makes  accessories for the interiors of Japanese dwellings.  Some items, like screens and tables, can be readily fabricated by the modeler, but the iconic Armor Rack/Display can't.

Thanks Ciliatus for the information, I need some more undead Samurai, so I will back the kickstarter when it comes around but I keen to start on an Samurai armour rack before then, I sent a email to Zenit the other day, but still no reply, I 'am bit old school and don't have a Facebook account just email, but thanks for update, I didn't realise they had one coming in January 2021.

The team at Zenit sent me a link to the Jinmaku Kickstarter so I was able to order the Jinmaku miniatures set plus order a couple of other miniatures I was looking for.
