Hinchliffe Models Taisho - WIP +1
Motivated by a post from local gaming buddy and former NHMGS President, Kevin Smyth, I picked up the brush for about an hour late in the night, and worked on the printed leather portions of the armor. Tried to copy the pattern from the box art and instructions, but it's more of a simplified interpretation of it. Kevin had mentioned on the NHMGS Facebook that even if you only paint for an hour a day (or night in my case), you'll be surprised at how much can get accomplished.
I'll touch it up a bit after the Minwax staining process.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Simon! Glad I picked the brush up for an hour or so last night after a long day at work. Dean
DeleteYou did this in an hour? Good God but you're good.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Anne! I used a Micron pen and drew the pattern first, then used a fine tipped brush. Best, Dean

He looks fine!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind comment, Jose. Appreciate you dropping by. I haven't forgotten the Boshin War & Satsuma Rebellion - just been side-tracked a bit. I will someday do a game that will be a bit more fictional than historical - maybe something like "Last Samurai" LOL! Best, Dean
DeleteI got the impression you were planning a low-effort paint job from your original post. This is anything but by the look of it. Only half done and it already looks wonderful mate!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your kind words, Michael. Always good to see you dropping by. Best, Dean
DeleteAlready looking good Dean!
