Steel Fist mini and very nice it is too. I based it loosely on pics of Ii Naomasa because of the helmet and then discovered it is a sculpt of his son - note to self, do research first and properly

.

I have put a coat of Klear on the armour to represent the lacquer, not as full on as a gloss varnish but still enough to bugger the camera up

What Cheeks says, great paint job.

I third that!

Really cool paintjob.

And a great miniature in general. I am slightly regretting getting Perry for Ronin. The Steel Fist minis look spectacular.

Well done, I think accuracy should come second to what's fun anyway, may I ask did you know he is wearing a mask or did you like the open faced look?

cheers all, it is disappointing how poor he looks in these pics compared to in hand but ce la vie

No. The ref. pic I used had a chin guard only and as there was not clear definition of one on the model I did what I did

Yes your right Naomasa did not have a mask on his most famous armours, in fact the one I made for the kickstarter had a chin guard too.
will you be painting more?

Was Naomasa the guy who wore a monkey mask?

Nice painting mate.
