Great picture! Those ones toward the rear must have traveled far through time and across land to get to Japan.

thanks, you make me want to make some more samurai again! :wave


Yes! Mission accomplished! 

My favourite so far is the dark green rider. I plan to attach a helmet to the pin at the rear of his saddle.

Hey guys and girls!
 A big update after this long holiday! Some are still WIP, and there's also a project at its early stage.

First a big banner. As my ashigaru and samurais won't be wearing sashimonos, I've decided that they would wear the mon of their Daimyo on their armor and helmets. But I need at least one of these huge banners on each side of the battlefield. Besides this banner carrier, are two ashigaru with custom-made Yaris: a roman gladius blade glued to a wooden stick. Those will eventually be painted black for the Tokugawa clan, and red for the Takeda.



Now some ashigaru and samurais:

















The cavalry now:
































The big project now, the wadaiko, the huge war drum of Japan. Actually it wasn't so often used for war, but I wanted one of the sides to have one.

It's still rough, I will use white paper in the end, and the drummer will wear white underwear. 



Enjoy!

(and that black bow.... reminded me of a Black Radly )

All these spectacular customs remind me of Akira Kurosawa's epic movie RAN . superb ....

WOOOOOOHH!!!! I'm totally jealous with rage
from the looong flag to the looong bows (not to mention all those weapons and headwears!)
to the drum and drummer!! (I bought the drum stand before the drum was re-released and almost begged Tahra for a big drum but never go around to finishing it....B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!!!)

I wonder if any Japanese PM collector is watching? can he/she say something
...I often wish Geobra would consider lauching something for the Asian collectors and take the huge market here by storm....I know there's always that worry of counterfeits, still, other businesses, from hanphones to cars, still feel its worth the risk and face the challenge instead of fearing it.

  Those customs are pretty spectacular!!

That mouth piece on the red warrior, is it of your making too? It's awesome. I love the banners and spears, and all those detailed arm pieces.

Do you think Geobra will ever do a fat speedo dad clicky? Cause that would work even better

Cool those horned helmets look great  and I really like that group photo so much action and the armour looks really great
