WIP Critique 90 mm Ashigaru (Pegaso models)

[tomifune]

Simon,
A beautifully painted piece from top to bottom and the 2nd exceptional samurai done here on the forum recently.

I think though that Oda is obligated to praise it though because that is his families (Oda) mon (symbol) you used on the sashimono (flag).

Looks ace to me. Well worked colours and looks well built too. Lovely freehand pattern work as well. Can't wait to see how you base it all and set the whole scene for him.

That explains much .
Oda, Bob, Forte - many thanks for your comments.
Forte, about the base - I planned to do something "rich" wiht a small tree and lots of greenery, but as I started to plant it all, it proved to be too much. Especially the tree covered the view of swords, and distracted a viewer from the model.
So I decide to do a rather simple groundwork - a few rocks, some grass, flowers and a fern.

Simple can be just as effective if well executed.

 

[Oda]
