Title: Samurai with real armour pictures
Post by: Steel fist on 14 September 2014, 04:49:12 PM

Here is the next samurai, finished except basing.
This has to be one of my favorite miniatures, his sashimono is silver lacured paper flags. I love his nodachi, I have endeavoured to paint the hardened steel wavy razor edge on the blade, the armour is bear fur, but you could paint it brown or as even tiger fur! As all these furs were used on samurai armour.
This armour is a fusion of two real armours in the below pics.
