Dixon Ashigaru with arquebus (up-dated 8-1-10)

[Svennn]

Nothing fancy, just tabletop quality but its gets me off the mark for 2010 and finally gives my samurai some arquebus (cant believe I have never painted any before now)



May put decals on the helmets to match the sashimono I did recently??

Up to your usual highstandards Bago old fruit.

You've got to love those old Dixon cabbage head samurai, I still have a soft spot for them twenty + years after their release.

A great way to kick off the painting year, splendid stuff. 

Can those sculpts really be 20 years old? That suddenly makes me feel a bit creaky. Never mind modern moans about companies not putting photos of their figures on their websites  - remember when you had to glean your info from line drawings? I used to love those old Dixon catalogues, just wish I'd had the pocket money back then!

  You must be getting a fair old clan together by now Svenn, will we get a group shot eventually.

[Ray Rivers]

 

Indeed... a group shot will soon be in order.

As for me...  I run as fast as I can from even attempting to paint little Japanese Samurai dudes!

Well done!

Don't mock - Redoubt still do precisely the same thing.

Mind boggling really, in this day and age.

Nice painting Svennn.

[Orctrader]

They look good.   

[JollyBob]

They look good.   

They look great. That pale blue is wonderful. 

[Arrigo]

Very nice.

I am thinking that as my second clan I will take some Dixon (first one is Perry). I have several ACW dixons and Love them.

Samurai with arquebus (for a change )


The nostalgia trip is wearing off and the monotony is drawing in so its into the lead pile for something a bit different next me thinks

You're out of the new year painting blocks pretty sharpish! Another lovely unit, great colours.
