To add to the figs' authenticity, I painted them watching the adventures on Shintaru in the classic series The Samurai |
My favourite 3 figures in the Buntai |
All the colour and patterns was quite a change from my usual figure styles and camo. |
but I'm rather pleased with the clothing. The base flowers add to the colourful appearance too. |
Firstly Miles, who very kindly donated not one but two beautiful Langton 1/1200 ships to my cause. I had every intent of making those my entries (and even accepted a Naval side challenge ) but unfortunately logistics issues made that an untenable proposition (yes they somehow got mixed up with my sea freight and only just arrived). On the plus side I still have them to look forward to painting and they now have more squadron mates in my inventory. Thanks Miles, I'm looking forward to giving them the attention they deserve.
And to show my appreciation, here is a spreadsheet just for you:
My challenge productivity: started badly and tailed off in the middle... |
Thanks indeed Dux! |

I love the designs you've done, kudos for not just block painting (which is what i would have done...)
ReplyDeleteCheers! I figured that this very nice sculpts deserved more than block colours, though choosing designs I could carry off was more challenging than I thought it would be!
DeleteHow do they scale with Perry samurai? (I presume they are North Star in your pics)
ReplyDeleteYes mate these are the Northstar figures from the boxed set at the back in the first pic. To be honest I dont have any other Samurai (yet!) so cant tell you how they size up against other ranges.

ReplyDeleteThey look ace! I have these chaps, too...definitely my favourite of the Ronin boxes.
ReplyDeleteReally nice work! I like 'em.
ReplyDeleteThe picture are a bit blurry but those figures don't look that bad. But most of all congrats for finding back to the painting table.
ReplyDeleteWell done, Sir!
I won't tell Craig that you called him Chris. Or maybe I will...:0 Nice job, and good to see you make it onto the soresheet.
ReplyDeleteThanks mate - not sure why I keep doing that!
DeleteSure it was a single entry but it was a great one. Thanks for agreeing to join us this year, Paul. I hope we will see more of you next time out.
ReplyDeleteI am a huge fan of this new chapter you are writing, through actions. The figs and philosophy seem to be flowing which means you are getting it right. It only helps that the paint looks great and the satisfaction shows through.
ReplyDeleteWell done mate!
