Hinchliffe Models Taisho - WIP +2

Spent some time finishing up most of the armor, as well as the face - the only exposed flesh area. The hands are wearing doe skin gloves.
The two chest armor pieces, head and shoulder armor are not glued to the torso yet - and tacked on to see how the pieces fit - particularly the shoulder armor as the neck guard hangs very low from the helmet.
 Besides the clothing, the sword, bow and quiver still need to be painted.
The agemaki, or large knot also needs to be added to the back of the cuirass.
Won't get much painting done tomorrow as I'm meeting up with some of the local WAB crew for our Medieval Campaign. I'm using my Early-HRE army.

    Awesome and remarkable work of art by you Dean! So far the colors you used are brilliant - the orange/reddish/gold armor plates are the eye catcher... I'm sure your friends,relatives and blog followers will (should) appreciate your hard work and artist talent to bring this model to life!....Marvelous!!

    Looking good Dean!
    Can't be many more things more difficult to paint and stunning to look at in our hobby than samurai armour.

    Not quite convinced that this is "basic painting" as you said in your first post! It is looking magnificent!

    Absolutely cracking work on that flowery armor! And what an imposing sized figure, will be one of those display pieces that make people stop and look closer at all the wonderful details.

    Better and better! How are you holding him? He'd have a fair weight to him I'd think given his size and material.
