From KentG: 28mm Samurai foot (135 points)

Well even though I wanted to be working on my Barons wars figures, 

I find myself painting my Japanese again, and I have to say I'm loving every 

moment maybe my colors aren't historically perfect but what 

the heck they will look good on the table, the figures will be used for 

multiple periods so the Sashimono's aren't specific to anything.

In the last picture you will see a bannerman with a red banner, 

I painted him before the challenge so he is not included in the points

 but was my test figure for the clan color set.

The Ashigaru figures are some of my favorite to paint

and these lads really pop, spent way to long on them but what the heck.

Love painting the big banners, there are 2 layers of blue one of

 sliver grey and 2 washes of white to create the white banner,

I know you can't see that depth but in person it's there and I'm really

 pleased with the effect the writing on the banner was just a one go freehand

all or nothing, was more afraid of recking all those layers of white,

hardest part was making sure it all fitted on the banner.

the figures below are my latest samurai in civilian dress 

and if I  i spent to long on the figures above oh boy did I get lost

painting these, I spent 4 hours plus on the first figure alone

the figure is 28mm from Footsore Miniatures.

the figure to the right was missing his hand holding the hilt 

so i used a hand from a plastic wargames Atlantic set and a hilt 

from a Fireforge Samurai set, there was another

 broken figures and even one missing, I got an 

email this morning from them saying replacements were on the way

These three characters are from the Perry set which i 

bought two or three sets of, not quite sure why I got so many

The figure from Footsore miniatures again is probably my

favorite and I lost track on the hours spent layering his coat and 

clothing

A little group shot of the team

point are pretty simple

27 x 28mm foot @5 points each = 135 pts

From Millsy:

Wow, another lovely batch of Samurai mate! I really like the palette you've chosen with flashes of colour contrasted with the earthy tones. The patterning on the fabrics is a lovely touch and really elevates these too.

Cracking work and another 135 points in the bank!

Cheers,

Millsy
