Title: Miniature identification help
Post by: AWu on June 02, 2016, 10:46:17 PM
Bot not typical one as I obviously know what the miniature is..

But what the hell he is holding in his right hand is beyond me .. ???

Is it fan ? some instrument ? something totally different ?

Any owner know ?

It looks like fan to me but have pair of large rings attached.

I dont know what it is and thus I have problem with how to paint it.. Perry pic is not too helpful..

It's probably a shakuhachi.  Essentially a flute but sometimes used as a weapon.

The other possibility is a message scroll, but I don't think so.

Ahh.. sorry for forum missplace

If some kind mod could move it to Adventures in the far East ?



Its to short and rectangle to be a flute - and those two rings sticking out of it confuse me completely

Very nice set of miniatures (unfortunately photo on the page is worse in details than my cell phone here)

Although he looks very human - so you will need some greenstuff to add, but he will work as human traveler straight from the set (Fading suns style).

The item looks  like this

And I think I have a winner
