"The Calm Before The Storm" - Samurai, 15th Century - White Models, 90 mm

Hi folks...

Its been months since I started this project and finally its done. One of the most beautiful figures in my collection and a bargain as well (12 € instead of 56€) And therefore I tried to give the figure a suitable and convincing surrounding, full of small detail like mushrooms, flowers, forest soil and even a handmade hata (banner).


Believe it or not - the hardest part of the assembly was... the bow. It just resisted to fit in the samurais hands and I didnt want to force it there, destroying the colour layers - thats the reason why it lies besides the samurai.

You dont really know what hes thinking right now - Is he just checking the armory? Is he thinking about his family? We dont know... But what I know is, that this is definetely not the last samurai figure in my collection

Have fun with the pictures!

Nice work! Love all the detailing on his armour and the fantastic groundwork!

Well painted and nicely presented,. I like it.

Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

Thanks. :)

Groundwork was pure fun: Birch seed, scratched mushrooms (from plastic profile and paper with some white glue added), flowers from ModelScene - a souvenir from the "E-Days" Prague Expo etc. The "hata" (banner) consists of rice paper and was hand painted. Leather stripes are some painted Tamiyatape stripes. Thats it - so easy ;)

He looks great.

It's all depends on the veiwer to decide what he is thinking. Like a book, the reader, or in this case the viewer brings their past and their experiences to bring the subject to life.
