Jim's generic samurai thread **10.10.16 Post BLAM photos**

[OSHIROmodels]

I thought I would keep all my samurai work in one place for a change as I'll be starting to play some games in a week or two  

The rules I'll be using are a Sharp Practise mod and I'll post them up when they've been finalised.

First off though I've got two finished seki-bune to show that will appear in a game soon.

The masts are demountable for ease of access (and clumsy fingers).





More to follow soon as I'm nearly finished re-basing a load of Sanada troops  

cheers

Very nice tubs, mate.
A splendid finish on them.

And who have you roped into for this?
Is this a 'deal' for playing Texas with Mama...?

Based the Sanada teppo (pronounced teh-poh), I've also added a couple to the Murakami clan and have a fair few more to finish off. The bune have the Murakami clan markings.

Lovely, mate.
Just lovely.
 

Like a lot of people, I imagine, Samurai were some of my first figure purchases back in the '80's, Dixons, of course.
I loved them then but was always put off of painting a serious number of them due to the complexity of the paintjob.

You are a brave man, sir.

The ships (er...boats) are fantastic and I love the figures.  The Shogun/Japan/Samurai thing is something that really appeals to me though I doubt I'd find any opponents to play with!  Gorgeous work as usual.

Lovely stuff

Wonderful work! Your Samurai figures are always great to see!

  Cannot wait! I was thinking of modding Sharp Practice (possibly my favourite rules) for Samurai one day, but as you're definitely an authority on the period I cannot wait to see what you've done.

Lovely work.

The sails look a little too flat - a suggestion of using handmade/textured painting for the next ones you make. I can see some pattern - not sure then if that is already the case or just something extra you printed on them (I understand it may just be the photography).

They look fantastic mate. Will be following with interest.

Thanks chaps 

I'm going to have to go to the bank and get a few pounds worth of pennies as I've run out

I wouldn't say authority, but I've got a good idea and hopefully the transition will work well. I'll send you a pm as well

The photos might be slightly over exposed but the sails are made form canvas and the sticking is draw on with a pencil so there is plenty of 'texture' there, just not showing here.
