Hinchliffe Models Taisho - WIP

Dry-brushed the basic lacing pattern; as well as the red lacquered knots. The Minwax stain process should clarify the lacing a bit more.
I chose a solid red pattern for the lacing, as more elaborate types tend to take away the from the overall look of the armor.

Here's a nice image of the construction of the O-yoroi - or great armor.

    Thanks, Gents. I don't intend to spend too much time and effort on this piece. Pretty much plan to paint it up as I do most 28mm figs nowadays. Block painting, Minwax stain, then highlighting/details. We shall see though :)! Thanks again, Dean

    What a terrific piece! What are your plans for this? A display in the game room? Did the nifty painting guide come with the model?

      Thanks, Jonathan. Just a display model. Yes, the ebay buy was complete - box, full color instruction sheet and all the parts - even the tiny lacing for the top knot. Best, Dean
