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.
This site was created late in 2008, just a few years after first becoming involved in wargaming. As you can tell by the name, WAB was my introduction to this community. I appreciate the following and comments this blog receives, and give all thanks and credit to my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. It may seem odd that this blog appears to focus on the folly of mankind's continuous warfare, but I believe I can still enjoy this hobby so long as I put Him first in all I do. Maranatha!
This model is too big for me. Good painting.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Slawek. Appreciate your visits and comments. Best, Dean
ReplyDeleteNice WIP so far :)
ReplyDeleteWow, that one looks huge... and lovely!!! Cannot wait to see it finished!
ReplyDeleteThanks, 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
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrific piece! What are your plans for this? A display in the game room? Did the nifty painting guide come with the model?
ReplyDeleteThanks, 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
