It's great to see a big unit of them.

Did the Japanese uniform change significantly between this war and 1914? It might be fun to pitch these chaps against the Boche in China.

Hi Plynkes,

Please have a look at this blog-post:

Basically the only differences I can spot are the predominant use of puttees instead of gaiters (although some RJW-photos already show puttees in use but clearly in the minority) and the caps look a little bit different somehow more 'squashed', but that might just be the photo.

Absolutely top notch, I do not think these can be surpassed 

Only two downsides - they are not mine and I dare not start my own as they will only pale in comparison

Yep! What Svennn said, unfortunately  Excellent paint and figs 

[Plynkes]

Thanks, Maichus.

Finally got around to doing some more for Tsuba.

I really like the Russians.

Had to make a few changes to my colour recipes for these as I had been relying heavily on GW's old Foundation range so these use a lot more Vallejo Model Color. Got a decent match I think.

As usual I wish I had some terrain to photograph them against but my dumb blue back drop will have to do.

Gorgeous!

Fantastic paintjob!

[Captain Blood]

Beautiful paintwork as ever. The Russians are particularly lovely.

Really nice, you certainly don't make it easier resisting those beautiful miniatures
