Pegaso Arquebusier

[Banjer]

Latest piece from my bench. A great sculpt from Pegaso, although a complicated build the fit of the parts was superb. I resisted making the armour too ornate as arquebusiers were of Ashigaru status.
Mounted on one of my self made bases with a lovely Nameit name plate. I kept the groundwork simple as I felt this went better with the base. 90mm Oil over acrylic.

Comments on how to improve my work welcome.

Thanks for looking.

Thank you,
Pegaso have done a good job sculpting this, I just feel he is a bit overdressed for an Ashigaru arquebusier.
Makes a nice piece for the display cabinet however.

Cheers Steve, a bit daunting when you open the box but the parts are so well thought out it falls together.

Quality job Bill. I agree, he is a bit more Samurai than Ashigaru but still a beautiful sculpt. Kurosawa's movie "Kagemusha" covers the Nagashino battle, albeit a bit "hollywood" but a good watch.

Thank you Phil,
I just watched "Ran" but there weren't many good shots of Samurai warriors in it. Is " Kagemusha" a black and white movie?

Hi Bill

No, it's in colour. Released 1980. Lots of good shots of Samurai and Ashigaru. On Amazon ATM from £12.99. Lead actor you will recognise if you ever watched "The Water Margin"

Cheers Phil, I'll see if it's on Netflix if not I'll buy a dvd

Looks like a very well balanced sculpt with super paintwork. A bunch of detail and 90mm a comfortable size (for me).....well done.

Thanks Wayne,

Next up Poste Militaire ashigaru, a much simpler kit.
