Lovely work Felix, some beautful colours in this and your freehand is super.
It's okay to have one thread with lots of pics in it though, no need for three separate threads.

Hi Felix,
This is just beautiful. I have this kit and I have looked at it several times
wondering if I could paint it.
Can you comment please on how you put it together. Did you paint it in sections
and then assemble. How about the patterns.. is that all free hand ?
The colors are really nice.. the face is excellent.
I really like everything that you have done to the figure.
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Dee,
Regarding painting of the figure, here is the breakdown.
The figure was primed with white primer and painted in sections. Most parts of the figure were painted in artist oil. The helmet and armor plate was painted in black enamel. The different color of lacings on the armor plate was a custom mixed of enamel to produce a satin finish. Same mixed was used for the red lacing with tassels on the back of the armor. The maedate/demon face and horns on the front of the helmet was airbrushed with metal plate brass and gold lacquer. Oil paint was used for all basic shadowing. The tachi sword scabbard was painted with gloss transparent orange enamel. The front chest armor, the two sides on the helmet and the upper inside of the arms armor plate were lined with soft leather. Cream color artist oil was used to duplicate these parts. Oil paint was also used for the arrows’ bamboo shaft and feathers.
Five minute epoxy and cyano glue was used to put the figure together. Then final and detail shadowing was added.
For the flower pattern, please refer to my other threads, Taisho by Ray Lamb and Taisho by Ray Lamb 2. I hope this would help you to put this complex figure together. Just let me know if you need any more information.

Chest armor and helmet pattern
Hi Dee,
I went through some of my grey armies and I found this old drawing on parchment paper that I did for the chest armor and helmet pattern for this figure. Hope this will give you some ideas. By the way this casting sold on ebay yesterday for $333.33. Regards, Felix

Hi Felix,
Thank you for posting the drawings. Now I see how you did it or planned it out.
I am just not sure I am ready to tackle such a large project.
But it has me thinking.
Yes, someone told me about the ebay sale. WOW... I am glad I got mine when I did.
Many thanks..
