After painting lots of O.S. 42mm and plastic Jacobite figures I felt like a change so I decided on some Samurai personality figures . There is a newish box of figures for 'Test of Honour' call 'Unlikely Allies' and this figure is the Clan Envoy , I have shamelessly pinched the colour scheme from the box art as I can never think of convincing coloured clothing for Japanese figures . I used my wet palette and Liquitex artist acrylics to paint him . I going to paint the others up in the next week or so and I am liking the change of painting style and pace .
and I like the results!
ReplyDelete(sometimes I miss my old Liquitex tubes)
I only use them for 'one off' figures and for horses . Some of them don't cover as well as modern modelling acrylics .
Deletelooks great!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed painting him , nice for a change .
DeleteVery nice work. You can hear him saying " konichi wa Tony san " (if I remember Shogun correctly).
ReplyDeleteRichard Chamberlin if I remember rightly , a blast from the past .
DeleteLovely figure!
ReplyDeleteBy the way I am in a mind to get my Scandinavian Bronze Age figures for a game? Did you ever work on/add to your rules you wrote? I fancy giving them a go.
I had some ideas , but can't find my notes now , I used 'Dragon Rampant' to add a bit of mysticism to the game .
