Ok,so these minis arrived this week,ready to scratch my Seven Samurai itch. :)
I've always fancied this range from Northstar and thought I'd give them a go.
Not being up on samurai paint schemes I thought I'd use the artwork on the box set as a guide and follow it as far as my paint skills allow lol.
These are the first two,not characters from the movie but I thought they were a good place to start.
I've ordered flowery Tufts for the bases to inject a little Eastern flavour to them :)Two more minis underway, I'll post in due course.
Thanks for looking in :)

Very nice indeed. Could the older looking gent be Richard Chamberlain?

Here's the first two of the "seven" completed.
As previously mentioned I'm using the box art as a guide as far as possible.
I've included the originals from the first post as I've now added some flowers to titivate (buzz word  lol) their bases.
Two more underway.
Thanks for looking in  :)

Nice work, mate.
 8) 8)

I have a few old Citadel Samurai types in my 'scratch an itch' pile too.
I far prefer unarmoured figures from the period and these look similar.

Now be a good chap and stop posting this stuff as the pile is big enough already.
 :D
