I've finished the gateway and it's going in the mould box after I've posted this

Piccies below are of it before casting and I'll hopefully put some up of it painted tonight (no snow and bright sunshine here

) and full pictures of the two sets that will be available (details below)

That's a Peter Pig Sammy in front to give an idea of scale.

Set 1 comprises of the following parts and is suitable to sit on a table edge and will be £140 painted and £95 unpainted (works out to be about a 15% discount)

JW01 x 1 (gateway)
JW02 x 3 (straight walls)
JW03 x 1 (normal corner)
JW04 x 1 (wall tower)
JW05 x 1 (corner tower)

Set 2 comprises the following parts and can be assembled as a complete castle. This set will be £210 painted and £140 unpainted (again with an approx 15% discount on buying separately)

JW01 x 1 (gateway)
JW02 x 6 (straight walls)
JW03 x 2 (normal corners)
JW04 x 1 (wall tower)
JW05 x 2 (corner towers)

cheers

Very nicely done JB.

Cannot see me ever being in the market for a 15mm samurai building but if I was you can be sure I would not be going anywhere else.

Having seen the Imperial Palace and Himeji castle, this is spot on........

Very nice. Once more the requirement for a winning lottery ticket or selling a few organs is apparent.

Didn't get a chance to paint one last night as I was out with Mrs Bibbly (not her real name, or mine for that matter

) but I will be tonight so watch this space.

cheers

James, that is absolutely beautiful. If it wasn't for the fact that I long ago foreswore 15mm in favour of retaining my eyesight, I would be seriously tempted into a whole new period and setting just by that lovely model you've made.

This is wonderful. I think you are filling a real need in the world of 15mm Samurai and doing it with a beautiful product. Are there plans for a central keep-style building?

OSHIROmodels · « **Reply #11 on:** November 30, 2010, 08:17:31 AM »

Thanks for the kind words chaps, unfortunately, cold weather has stopped me from spraying outside and Mrs Bibbly certainly doesn't want me to do it inside so a painted version will be a few more days yet

There will be a stand alone keep (tenshu), some internal barrack buildings, a few more different wall sections and I'm toying with making an internal palace. We'll have to see about that though

cheers

Hi James,

this piece looks really nice. Pitty I am doing my samurai in 25-28mm. If I do some FoG samurai armies I know where I will buy the buildings. Once more, very very nice, keep it going!

Jim I suppose you do not have a hidden cellar for spraying all the season (I have it home... but until snow stops in London no more spraying actually I did some black priming saturday and some varnish sunday and it was still good... now...

but please if you cannot paint... keep modelling!
