The latest figures that I've painted for Geoff are these Samurai and civilians from Perry miniatures. I have to admit that I was a bit flummoxed when it comes to the colours of Japanese clothing, so it required a bit of internet searching and a bit of imagination. Without any further ado, here they are.

| The Samurai themselves in everyday clothes. |

| Three women and a monk (?). I took his colours from the Perry site as i'm not sure what he is. I thought he might have a flower in his hand so I painted it red, but if anyone has a better guess I'm willing to repaint it. |

| The peasants - an old man and three labourers. |
I don't know if they came out as pretty as I expected them to in terms of the time that I put in, but I did enjoy painting them. Oriental flesh was something new for me, but I think it looks OK, and suitably different from my normal caucasian skin tones. I hope Geoff likes them. I still have the apocalypse survivors to paint, which I'll get stuck into as soon as I paint a trial stand of WWI Germans.
Fantastic paintjob, love the clothes of the Samurais...and these peasants are really impressive, great job!

ReplyDeleteCheers Gary.
DeleteHaving seen the figures you've been painting for Geoff first'hand I can say they are every bit as good in the flesh as it were.
ReplyDeleteYouve done an amazing job on these Samurai.
Thank you kind sir. I guess you'll be seeing them close up sometime soon.
DeleteDon't know how I missed this when you first posted it! Outstanding work. I have painted some similar figures and they are not easy to do!
ReplyDeleteThanks Paul. I found the difficulty was more in choosing colours than in painting them.
