Sangennaru's Samurai
« on: July 14, 2019, 05:52:57 PM »
Well, there was a setting I didn't jump in recently, and now there's none.

With a new-found club in Milan there has been some interest in the feudal japan setting. For now, it's gonna be for Test of Honor, and we'll see what the future will bring (maybe a Japanese Round of Fire setting manual?)

Anyways, i've been fiddling with some basic 3D printed shapes for some very japanese elements, and all the rest is being done by hand.

First of all, the decorated shingles and some tatami tiles:





Which printed pretty well (I'm using a crappy Sparkmaker FHD, which has a lot of issues but WHEN prints, it prints nicely).





Both the prints have been immediately molded and cast in resin. Quite faster, and cheaper too. The roof in particular was assembled in a test piece:







Meanwhile, I tried sculpting a Tori out of balsa. Not perfect, but pretty fun to do.





With the cast tatami, i started building a raised platform.











And... that's it for now.

Please do comment and share your ideas for the next stuff. That's what makes me keep going! ^_^

Cheers,
Jack

...I forgot a finished pre-painting shot for the tatami platform!



Cheers again,

I humbly admit that I'm not expert in Feudal Japan history.
But I like what I see and I admire your skill!
I'll be following this inspiring thread! Cheers!

I'd feel obliged to take my shoes off before putting my models on that. Bloody marvellous like I already said.

Hah! :D thank you!

I did some tests with the same tomato pureč tube material used for the small Noren of the tatami platform. This time, i made a large Sashimono. It's basically... a flag.

Still, it came out pretty well imho!



The painting was quick (i didn't want to spend hours on a flag!) but effective too:



Cheers

Made an order from Perry AND from Steel Fist. As soon as it'll get to me I will start playing with those! :)

Thanks! Hopefully these samurais will do their part in it as soon as i'll receive my copies. Doing the sashimonos myself, a bit less eccentric possibly.

More sashimonos for the upcoming samurais done.
And a small tutorial, which will be on the website soon. Until then, a few photos!









C&C welcome. There's gonna be the need for a lot more of these soon! :S

Cheers

Great stuff Sangennaru!!!!!!!!!

As one of my other dreams is to one day build a Samurai castle, how did you do the roof tiles for the castle wall section you posted above? Is this a 3D design? If so, is there an STL for it that is available? I have searched Thingiverse but not found a lot of stuff for that...loads on Star Wars but that's another project (and thread!  ;)

Cheers! Yes, it is indeed a 3d design. My printer has some Z-axis issues so far, but i'm planning to re-print it in a better quality soon. PM me and i'll happily share with you the file - your printing will be a good validation test.
I resin cast the roof once print, to save time.
