Old Glory Ashigaru Units Completed

Finished basing the Ashigaru spear and teppo units:
Here they are with the previously completed bow unit. Just need to get some command figures. I heard some plastic Ashigaru were supposed to appear soon, but it's just as well I already have these. They're nice enough and I'll likely buy other stuff instead. BTW, the Perry Samurai will add some pizaz to the the army as they'll have sashimono. I'm not entirely convinced all Ashigaru wore sashimono anyway.
Now I can get started on the Perry foot Samurai; or maybe the Crusader Spanish Scutarii.

  2. Thanks; yes, I got them on Friday. The spears were done earlier - brass rod with hammered tips. Only a few colors were used for the figures prior to the dip. It really does speed up the process. Best, Dean

  4. The three units look great side by side, Dean, especially with the bases done in the same style.
