Hello Nap,

the patterns are amazing (soon I'm going to have a try with the 120mm Japanese woman from PiliPili, I hope to get such a great finish)
There is only one thing I like to mention and that's the almost shiny facial paint, should it not be more like a powder ?

groeten from, Willem

Well Nap,
I only can tip my hat for you. That's some beautifull painting on Tomoe Gozen.
Quang should be very pleased when he see your painting.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for comments ..appreciated .

Gothigeek,
Enjoy the model its great to work on , a good reference is the Europa Militaria Special No14 (ISBN 1-86126-335-X) which has pictures of a reenactor of Tomoe on pages 78/79 , also if you go on Quangs site there was a link to a video of the annual festival with good footage .Also obviously the Osprey books as well and anything by Stephen Turnball .

WPS ,
Thanks for comments , the 120 mm figure is a stunning one as well please so post your progress so we can all enjoy it , you mention about the facial paint , from my research it was made up from a lead based compound which is slightly shiny , if you see the actual model it looks about right ...but we live and learn !!!

Megroot ,
Thanks for your comments , hopefully Quang will like what he sees but its all helped by such a great sculpt and the ease it goes together beautifully , mind you wish some of the pics were better .
