The Master Swordsman

Here is my last one for this year: my slightly altered version of Alexander Deryabin's 90mm Wanderer, produced by Mercury Models, Russia and painted in oils as usual.



Thanks for looking,

Pierre

Very nice painting. I never seen this style of kasa hat with a flat top.

Thank you Felix! As for the hat, I am not completely satisfied with the hat either and would have preferred for the sculptor to have made a more traditional sandogasa or ajirogasa instead of this one, probably inspired by the Fuji style sugegasa. But after changing the wakizashi to a cutting edge up position and replacing tsuka and tsuba on the long sword, I was too lazy to do something about the hat!

Best regards,
Pierre

Pierre, this is a really good piece, not easy to paint at all. You've done a really good job. Very well presented too.
