 Very nice sir.
"Peace" is that brief, glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.

The Sendai troops have Woodbine Design French Kepi heads. Not really Asiatic, but the kepi is correct, and they are clean shaven.

Great work Ian! Like a lot, specially Tosa cavalry.
What figures did you use for them?

Time would not allow for the Katanas, so I modified some Perry Naginatas, of which I have far too many.  :) I ran out of hachimaki heads for the other two cavalrymen, so they will get put on the back burner until the New Year.

Lovely stuff, Crouchie. I especially like the cavalry conversions (I've been looking for info on Imperial cavalry for a while, but my google skills have let me down).

I watched Yae no Sakura recently, in preparation for jumping on the Boshin bandwagon. Quality stuff. There's a good film on Netflix at the mo, if you've got it - 'When the Last Sword is Drawn'. It focusses on a couple of the Shinsengumi.

Sorry I don't have info about Imperial cavalry, but I think that Crouchie have some pictures.
