Dixon's Samurai Light Field Gun - WIP +1

Finished the crew; the sculpting where the lacing goes is raised so dry-brushing really sped things up.
The backs of these guys have holes for attaching sashimono; which I may add once I order some from Perry. Although I wonder if a gun crew would wear these with the type of duty they had to perform.
Here are a couple more photos from different angles. Not sure how many folks have seen Dixon Samurai in person, so maybe this will help assess how they look. I think their cartoonishly wide faces are the main drawback for them fitting in with other lines.
The Old Glory Mounted Samurai I won off of ebay arrived today too. Although the horses look really good, I think I'm going to go with the Dixon horse for Nagamasa. His wide faces makes the OG horses head look odd; the Dixon horse also has a fairly wide face!

  1. nice job,

    samurai are the hardest to paint IMO and take a lot of time to get correct, but when you are finished give a lot of satisfaction for a job well done!

  2. Great work yet again Dean on the artillery crew. Back banners would not look out of place IMHO.

    Cheers,
