There would also be Hattori Hanzo, whose helmet is in a certain temple, I believe.

I can wait

I can't remember his name but he has a whacking great scallop shell for a kabuto, and a tash

Here's one I did a while ago, photos not very good though. THE CID

It's a very good painting Cid !

Photo's a bit unfocused but the painting looks good. How hard was the lacing to paint?

THE CID · « **Reply #36 on:** November 23, 2013, 02:00:26 PM »

Painting samurai can be a bit daunting, I do tend to concentrate on one figure at a time. The lacing wasn't too bad as the detailing is very good on the figure. I don't prime with a full black cover, as I find it hard to pick out the fine detail. Instead I use a heavy black ink wash.
You're right the photo is out of focus, it's the only one I have as I've sold the figure. THE CID.

I am just about to start painting a Samurai Army and it is a little daunting as you say. I think I am going to batch paint the Ashigaru but do the samurai individually.

THE CID · « **Reply #38 on:** November 23, 2013, 09:33:47 PM »

Yes that's a good idea, if the army is for yourself, take your time, it's worth it. THE CID.

I don't have much choice but to take my time atm. Looking forward to getting to painting though.

I'm not planning on immediately making that figure, however that shell crest was on a number of helmets, so I'm going to make one as a separate crest.

The links PF has shown show mainly edo period kabuto, but apparently because wild looking elaborate kabuto were seen during the sengouku period, these can be hard to date,
Therefore I think that putting a few of the outlandish helmets in a sengouku miniature collection is perfectly plausable.

I believe that my miniatures would be more compatible with kingsford that perry as I hear kingsford are also larger than perry.
Thanks for showing the miniature CID I'm always happy to see examples of my miniatures painted by others, looks like you did a good job. I try to make the detail crisp as possible also I hope to have more painting guides ready soon. However if anyone is unsure about what kind of colours to use, look at the painted miniatures on my site as I have used accurate colour schemes.
Cheers

I think if you army is mostly Perry then using Steel Fist as generals and commanders works really well, they are a little larger which gives them more presence and makes them stand out a little more among other models without being out of scale.

Here is one from today

That looks great. I like the unique Sashimo that the steel fist models have.

Is there any plan for Steel Fist to do mounted models?
