Title: samurai wars peasants
Post by: cheng on October 06, 2010, 01:26:25

The Japanese ashigaru were conscripted foot-soldiers of medieval Japan.....mostly landless peasants....farmers, fishermen forced into the wars between feuding lords (just like their western counterparts  :P )

Amazing! :o
The fur coats adds so much to their appearance. :)

I wish I had more, I could use them for
a few of my new customs... 8-)

Great work Cheng,
I can't wait to see more awesome customs! ;D

Great customs, cheng.   :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:  The fur jackets and belts are a great touch, as is the choice of "weapons".  (They certainly don't look very happy about being "recruited".  I get the impression that an officer has just exited left!)

My thoughts was that he wasn't happy because he was wearing a bowtie in his hair *grin*

Oh. I thought they were fur too… Perhaps you could consider painting them to discourage further confusion…

no worries Andy, Gordon too thought they are furs   ;D

but like the soft materials for spears/swords, these 'fur' are too flexible and sprayed paint will just peel off after handling a few times.  :P
I thought there were light brown ones(which will pass as dried grass) but mine are all light grey so I've hypnotised myself to see them as dirtied grass vests  :lol: maybe someday i'll replace them when i get my hands on brown ones  ;)
