Stunning ship! The Japanese naval warfare of the period is insanely bizarre. Like having floating battlefields/castles!

Did Japanese pirates get any better at sea-based activities, given they were making a living doing it?

They were good at raiding the Chinese coastline and smaller islands but used small, more seaworthy ships.

What is your technique for the wood? What type, do you wire brush it for texture, etc.?

Just gridded net sandpaper that's been folded and then pulled across the wood

cheers

Thanks, I'll try it. I picked up some Oshiro buildings and really like the textures on them.

Just great work. I consider samurai to be the hardest thing to paint (for me anyway). I love them, but avoid at all costs.

Love it as ever James!

Your samurai stuff is truly inspiring, and I always blatently cop... get inspired by your builds when I try to build stuff for my Bushido board

No, second hand from a guy on TMP, he stiffed me on one building too. I should have went direct from you (and I will next time I get some buildings, I need more walls in any case) but I think you might have been temporarily closed.

Thanks again chaps

More rebased figures over the weekend.

Looking forward to it.

You can have it back if you want it. It has been utter shit for my attempts to gain cover the last couple of games...

Your work is really excellent, attention to detail is fantastic, I have always admired Japanese building methods

carlos13th · « **Reply #43 on:** 03 February 2014, 05:30:11 PM »

Any more progress on this recently Jim?

'Fraid not but there will be in a week or two

Figures mainly to start with and then hopefully the gateway to the main castle walls (it's been started but needs a fair amount of work doing to it).

cheers

James
