Working on old Aly Morrison sculpted Samurai for a future Frostgrave set up, I decided to swap a few heads and convert a few.
One got out of hand and became a baboon samurai type thing(Pictures explain more)
Not what I planned, but I like it!!

Blimey ..... I made these in 1983

Now I feel old....

I might have to lie down?...

All the best. Aly

Still my favourite Samurai sculpts.
Plenty more on the painting desk

Should be a complete Oriental/Okko/old school Citadel game at a Partizan next year

Also managed to get a box of Oriental Hobgoblins that you sculpted too.

Cheers
Paul

Okko?
Call me interested

One of my favorite comicbook/boardgame.

Very nice conversions, by the way.

It's reading Okko that brought this about.
Oriental Frostgrave with a definite Okko/Oriental twist.
Starting to scratchbuild Bunraku soon(once some more painted)
Samurai undead, monks in straw helmets etc

Sounds very cool, will follow with interest

Do you have some of the "official" Okko-minis to join the project as well?

Great conversion work. Love the snake on the spear. Some of my favorite ever Samurai.

Most of the miniatures were inspired by Kuniyoshi the Warrior-prints by Basil William Robinson.

Here is the Google Images link... lots of eye candy

Another inspiration was...Thirty-six ghosts by Yoshitoshi (Yoshitoshi was a pupil of Kuniyoshi,He also made some woodcuts covering the Satsuma rebellion )

Here is the Google image link...

All the best Aly

Superb, lots to fire the imagination.
Now.......how much persuasion would it take to get you to sculpt a Sumo wrestling a carp?

Excellent work Paul, are you dragging Lewis in for this one too?

I look forward to seeing this at Partizan.

That's the plan, a Paul/Lewis production.
Plan is for a Partizan, not sure which, depends on getting from sunny Scotland to Newark

Some progress with painting, all need finished/varnished/based.
Managed to find an Oriental Ogre and some Samurai zombies too

More to follow
