my inspiration for these side arms for my latest red devils;
-
oops...here they are...
-
I did promise some of you that I'll arrange an outdoor shoot...happened to be a windy and rainy day...the flagmen keep toppling over :P
and the photo was quite 'misty' (maybe at the foot of Mount Fuji ;D )
...here are only 3 samurai(s) with 5 ashigaru(foot soldiers) each
(i have too many samurai(s) and not enough foot soldiers...a case of "too many chiefs and too few ..." :P)
-
Very nice! :)
-
:o :o :o amazing!!!! Very detailed work!!!
-
Wow !!!! Awesome work , look forward to more pictures !!!! :love: :love: :love:
-
Great work! The tiny detail turned out excellent. :love:
-
Excellent custom side arms, cheng. You excel yourself again!

Add a bit of mist and a few woodbeam walls and your last picture looks like the final scenes from Ran.

Amazing Cheng! :D
I love your Samurai army, It is great to see them together. ;D
I recently found another Samurai for mine.
He was in the dungeon, and I had literally forgotten about him! :lol:
I will show him to you. :wave:
-
Thanks again everyone! :)

the wind was too 'Ran' ;D and I took just from this one angle..maybe some close ups will make up for my poor photgraphy again :P

As always, magnificent custom creations, Cheng! The attention to detail is superb! :wow:

I had a superb poster of RAN in my room when i was teenager next to a Porsche poster. RAN is one of my fav movies of all time and i have watched it probably about 6-8 times. time to watch it again !!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I took a clearer photo to show anyone interested in spraying/painting lacquer-red wakazashi(s) but didnt want to start a new thread (alot of new customising threads lately, good for PF!)
-
Awesome detail!!! Please enlighten us to the spraying technic!!! I can't manage in such a small and delicate scale!!
-
Wow, you really out did yourself with these Cheng,
They look so real! :o
I am comparing them with my samurai sword as I type,
and the similarities are... well, I am blown away! :yup:
-
thanks WOlf Knight & WoT!
WK, no secret/special technic,
just very careful masking(make sure they stick very well or you'll find paint seeping underneath..i use those very thin and narrow Tamiya masking tapes)
and good spray(fine and regular 'mist' and dont use until the last bit in case big blobs or spluttering paint spoils your last coat)...again i use Tamiya and other Japanese modelling spray cans(cant afford and not worth buying a spray-gun since i'm only spraying very tiny parts and once in a blue moon :P
as always, spray in a sweeping motion (yes, you'll waste a lot of paint but thats better than having thick paint running down your klicky) AND letting each coat dry before spraying the next coat...depending on the color and the base color, you may need 5 or more coats (if youre planning to spray bright red on a black surface, you might like to spray a white layer/base first)
oh, I almost forgot, remove the masking tape before they totally harden or you'll risk tearing/lifting out the paint like a skin.
like cooking, you might have all the ingredients and directions but its just practise and practise(be cautioned:I dont know how to cook, btw :-[ ;D)

Thank you for these tips cheng! :)
