Thanks chaps 

Been reading about the Japanese invasion of Korea this weekend to get a 15mm army sorted, there's plenty of nice scenarios for ship to ship action. Say a large 12' x 12' table at Salute nect year .

And just in case you haven't seen these yet to work out your repainting of banners problem:

Ships will play more of a part in next years game and I'm going to be working on 15mm versions for all of these (Korean as well  ). Got all those piccys stored away 

would you consider makiing korean ships?

Yes 

Gotta ask, mate: What colours did you use for that water?

Just a dark green with a bit of a light green towards the edge and then a generous coat of yacht varnish 

cheers

KOREAN SHIPS!!!! Yes please, would think the turtle ship could be difficult to do.

Cracking stuff.

Aha, I might have solved the 'turtles back' problem although initially it's quite laborious

It looks spot on!
 

Looks to me that it's just a cutting mat        

So many beautiful builds here James, keep them coming!

Funny boy 

I've just about finished basing a sizable Sanada force which I'll post in a few days (needs grass) and then I'll move onto the Miyoshi and then it's game time! 

cheers

Ooh, sounds great! Will wait for the pictures then.

Finished basing the Sanada force, took longer than I thought as a fair few needed patching up after several years of being used at Salute.

The force as a whole


'Big man' level three Sanada Akihito


And his younger brother 'Big man' level two Sanada Yoritomi


Then a small unit of Sanada samurai


Two small teppogumi with one teppo-taisho on the right


And two larger yarigumi each with its own yari-taisho


I'm having another look at the samurai mod I've got and will make a few changes as a few things have popped into my head that will hopefully capture the flavour of samurai warfare a bit more 

cheers

They look very nice. Partially the big man. Are they custom crests?

What does tasiho mean btw?

Thanks  Some of the crests are custom and some are brass etch available from here JA06

Taisho is generally used as a catch all term for a commander, it can mean general or just group commander. I think it depends on the size of the force as well.
