Some may have seen this one from the blog, but I'm painting up quite a few at the moment so I thought I would start a thread, this one is a Ii clan officer, here you can see I have added a crest and regular sashimono, to demonstrate how versatile these miniatures can be.
-
Looks great! That's his name on the sashimono, right? Am considering doing some Ii clan miniatures in the future, just want to make sure I am getting the characters right.
-
Cheers, yes that's his name on the banner.
-
Very nice mate.how long did the lacing take?
-
It took a while, but I usually have the colour on a wet pallet then do something else on it when I'm bored, and I don't do all the lacing in one sitting.
-
Very nice 8)
Little bit confused by the grey socks though ???
cheers

Imagine that helps reduce frustration.

Here are some more Ii clan first a nobori bearer, I put a steel pin up through the pole on this one for strength, a bit fiiddley though, but worth it as they will bend if suspended this high, and then there is a ashigauru, with the triple flag banner that Ii clan ashigauru wore, and a poor samurai, Ii clan samurai wore rectangle sashimono, but officers could use 3d sashimono.
And yes I think I need to redo the socks on that horse....very bad

Cheers, I'm working on a honda clan nobori bearer ATM

That huge Nobori banner looks awesome :-*
-
Here is a pic of a brass nobori, and sek 3 painted up.

:o
I would worry about the nobori handling the stress of actual play.
But tres cool.
I always feel sorry for the chaps carrying those things like that. Looks like it would hurt.

They look good 8)
If the brass has been glued and primed well enough I wouldn't worry about them getting damaged unless you have unruly players :)
cheers

Aye, there's the rub.
Some get a bit hamfisted. :-[
-
Thanks for the thoughts, regarding strength though I was surprised they are really tough. I put the pin quite far into the socket on the back of the mini, and I think it will take more beating than most miniatures even suspended at that height, so I'm really happy because I no longer need to worry about bending or snapping if it falls over or get caught on something.
-
Amazing range!

Well done! ;)
