Title: Jim’s samurai thread - More Honda clan - Page 12
Post by: OSHIROmodels on November 04, 2018, 10:24:02 PM: Time for another thread hopefully encompassing everything for my personal samurai project. There’s a 30min a day ‘challenge’ on Facebook at the moment and it’s a good impetus to get little batches of figures done.

First off are three Murakami samurai. Gone a bit of a ragtag look for these so the ones without sashimono can double as Wako.

Typical, the pictures are different even though I only turned the figures round ::)

Carrying on with the 'challenge' into 2019 and I got some Shogunate troops done for the Boshin War. Bac Ninh figures for the win :D

Post by: OSHIROmodels on April 11, 2020, 10:02:34 AM: It's been a while since I even looked at my figures and doing the rural temple has gotten me interested again.

I went through my figure boxes and found (I'd forgotten) that most of them were in the process of being re-based from squares to pennies...

Below are the photos of what needs to be done. There are quite a few figures that have been based but need a touch up and a new coat of varnish but I'll do those later once these are done.

I'm going to try a little bit in the morning and a little bit a night and see how we go. The first ones were finished last night as they didn't need much doing at all.

I've got some cavalry as well but they'll probably be the last to get sorted.

Another eight down, a couple of hundred to go ::) lol

The advantage with these ones is that the sand was already on. Most of the rest, I’m not so lucky.

Do you paint the edges of the pennies? If so, is varnish needed to protect the paint?

I look forward to seeing your cavalry basing - are you going to use 40mm diameter Soviet 5 ruble coins? lol
Title: Re: Jim’s new generic samurai thread - The great titivation continues - Page 3
Post by: OSHIROmodels on April 14, 2020, 11:54:40 AM: Just a few more done. This is pretty much it for the easy ones now, have to spend a bit more time on the rest.

I do and yes although they need touching up every now and then. Not a massive problem though.

Just normal 25mm x 50mm ovals I’m afraid :)

Post by: FierceKitty on April 15, 2020, 04:19:18 AM: I always think ashigaru are visually just as much of the appeal of a Japanese army as the samurai are (quite apart from being more important in army composition). Like those.

Forget about some casualty markers I had. I think I can use them for shock in FFoL Bigger Battles.

Post by: Vagabond on July 19, 2020, 10:05:51 AM: It's always fun to see what you're up to. I recently used your Devon? Boards as guide lines for some cliffs I made for Sails of Glory, so thanks for that.

Just a thought on the casualty markers, insdead of dice I made some counters using penies as bases, and glued brown lentils in the the basing material., 1 through to 6 lentils, they blend in much better than dice and cost - well - pennies ;)

Post by: OSHIROmodels on July 19, 2020, 02:57:54 PM: Thanks and I’m glad the Devon cliffs were inspirational :)

I have though about using stones etc to represent the number but I actually quite like the look of the dice. The dice are loose as well and will be used for Starfighter groups in their bases.

Titivated another clan, Satomi this time although there were several clans using this particular mon. They were started quite a while ago hence the bright blue armour. If I were to do them again I would make them a bit ‘greyer’ and darker. For some reason I never painted the actual drummer ::)

I’ll need to paint some fresh missile troops and a few more samurai for it to be complete.

This time it's the Murakami clan. 'Pirates' of the inland sea. I've got a few bune for them and almost started and island fortress for them as well but that won't happen until I gain a bit more space lol
