Title: Hail Caesar samurai *Second unit done*
Post by: OSHIROmodels on October 09, 2011, 12:45:35 PM

And some ashigaru as well  :)

Finished my first proper Hail Caesar unit but I've still got the nobori to do  :? Still working on the command base for the Sanada.

Once again, my photography skills (or lack thereof have let me down  :( ).

I decided to hand paint the nobori and after reading on how to do it from Brian Phillips here http://www.bpfp.co.uk/Page.asp?Title=Making+Standards&Section=76&Page=1 (http://www.bpfp.co.uk/Page.asp?Title=Making+Standards&Section=76&Page=1) I had a go, and it turned out rather well  :)

That thread reminds me 2 things...

1) I have to start working on my 15mm samurai army.

2) VERY IMPORTANT: have to find a way to pay Jim... ok good news I am starting ot get paid again on paypal, otherwise there is Warfare. But still do not understand how to use Paypal with a UK bank account me idiot.
