Nobushige's samurai wearing hara-ate dou

[WarriorOfToys]

huh? I see you put one of those frogs-in-ice-cube thingys

Oops, here is this better?

Ah..so  desu ne! 
(only photos hosted on this frog-thingy website cant be viewed by some of us?!)

...anyway, you meant their kusazuri (or kasazuri)
(tassets usually of lamellar construction, from lacquered leather or even iron panels hanging from the bottom of the chest armor "dou")

if I didnt add them, my ashigaru looks 'naked'  and wont look right. experiment it yourself...1cm x 1cm will be just the right scale

I was wondering how Geobra's developement team would tackle the probalm of making hanging tassets for a samurai but maybe like the new samurai special, they might only put them on their sides

Cheng, if you take a look here: http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=7425.0 it should shed a little light on the frog in ice problem, and possibly give you a solution to the problem.

Thanks for your detailed description of the leg armor, or kusazuri.
What did you make them out of?
Just paper?

Can your Ashigaru still sit with them on?

no paper/cardboard/magic markerpens  i need to wash my customs under a running tap when too much dust collects on them...I use the same sticker sheets like those I use for their iron hats (get thicker grades and those U-V proof ones they use for road signs...if they can withstand our sun and rain here all year round, they will last almost forever on my customs, or as long as i'm around 

Can your Ashigaru still sit with them on?
yes..when i fit them, sometimes I accidentally force them into a sitting position, but I dont want to in case they crease...wonder how Geobra would tackle this  )
