Hi Lemmey,
I'm really looking forward to seeing the finished article... I've got a bit of a soft spot for Samurai.
I did a Samurai project a few years ago in 28mm using Dixon figures. Ended up buying far too many (a lot of them are still in a drawer somewhere - unpainted of course) :-)
Cheers,
Rob

Six weeks of serious armour laces coming up...

I'm really admiring your perseverance with these Will ;)

Form the top of my head I have had the following Samurai Projects over the years none of which are still in my possession:

28mm Samurai - cant even remember the manufacturer but it may have been foundry. I even had the Samurai Walled Residence from an now defunct company called Village Green. This was the only collection I ever finished and all I can remember is that I sold the lot on and got far less than I paid for them.....

I had a 15mm Two Dragons Samurai army for WRG Renaissance which remained in its bags unloved for far too long before being sold off for far less than I paid for it.

I also had a 15mm Lancashire Games Samurai Army which I gave away as I was so appalled by the figures.

I then bought a Pendraken Samurai Army maybe three or four years ago which again I sold on for far less than I paid for them.

Anyone see a theme emerging here?? ;D
I don't think my wife likes me very much, when I had a heart attack she wrote for an ambulance.

At the mo the only Samurai I own is the 6mm one I painted earlier this year. If I did another, no way would I go larger than 10's, it gets too complicated and life is too short.

Which of the Kurosawa films is it that has a fantastic scene in a field camp? Is it "Ran"?
