Back in white (with added red and green)

[DaddyO]

After the recently completed Rindi figure I wanted another 'simple' paint and after a rummage in the grey army I cam across this fella. Limited edition 75mm resin kit by Tiny Leads (number 11 of 150) It was beautifully presented in a rigid box with historical notes, a card of authenticity, image card , stickerand pin badge! There was also a nice base with the Torii gate and a couple of stone pillars/lanterns.

The figure is a really nice casting although the original scabbard had a couple of stubborn bends in it which wouldn't come out so I carved a new one from a piece of sprue. Although the pillars looked nice there was a bit of a seam on both and when I removed them the original texture was lost so I opted to make a completely new base from DAS with some tank texture grit (which is a very fine sand) and ground balsa dust for moss. I managed to snap off the fan through clumsy handling when the figure was nearly finished which caused a few choice words and a delay of a couple of weeks whilst I played about making a new one. In retrospect it would have been easier to remove the arm holding it and go from there rather than micro surgery fitting it into the gap - ah well

Painted in acrylics as usual and mounted on a base which Nap gave me earlier this year (Cheers mate )

Comments welcome
Have a great Christmas

Thank you gents.

It's a very elegant figure. I might have another look at the second Tiny Leads figure I've got soon, but for the moment I've got something else lined up (Mainly green this time with perhaps a dash of red)

Cheers

Hi Leggy

Wondered what you've been up to ......nice bit of base work, as for figure ....a lesson in both white and black painting ....a simple but very effective pose , nice fleshtones as well

Think a pattern might be good on fan......just saying !!

Why not enter something into FOTM ( no pressure and I won't move next door if not ...lol )

Like the sound of green and a dash of red ....very chasseur ..perhaps ......do share it here

Cheers matey

Did wonder about a pattern on the fan and may add something later, but been busy at work and was getting fed up with going back to this one on teh bench so I decided to keep it very simple (for the moment at least)

Not a Chasseur (think you've got that side of things covered with your mounted busty thing), but something Napoleonic at least
