Post by: Engel on November 14, 2011, 02:50:31 PM: Nice.

And the lone viking in your first pictures must be a well traveled type, must be the one they found burried in Sweden with a Budha statue in his grave. :D

Post by: OSHIROmodels on November 14, 2011, 06:26:27 PM: Looks good so far mate 8) (not enough though ;D :D )

I would suggest a bit of a highlight around the mon on the jingasa (emblem on the hat ;) ) and some varnish on the do (body armour).

cheers

Post by: janner on November 14, 2011, 07:27:17 PM: Yes, the highlight on the hat has disappeared under the satin varnish.

Gloss varnish on the do?
Title: Re: Sammies - just to keep James happy
Post by: OSHIROmodels on November 14, 2011, 09:03:27 PM: Gloss or satin will do :)

A mix of both in the unit would work quite well.

cheers

Very nice!

I've often toyed (so to speak) with the idea of collecting samurai, etc, but I know I'd never make any headway with all of those gorgeously-intricate patterns on their armor and kimono. :-[

Post by: janner on January 06, 2015, 12:41:25 PM: So, I've dusted off (well pulled out the sotrage box) these bad boys and aim to complete the last four dismounted sammies, a unit of twenty ashugaru, and as many of the mounted sammies as possible before the end of this fine initiative :D

As a taster, here's some photos of those I completed in time for Salute 2012!
