The Evidence...

Looking a little battered curtusy of the baggage handlers at London (yeah right!) Stansted and on James Sharpe's gorgeous terrain, we have the Honda clan:


Based for either WAB or Hail Caesar each unit was meant to have five bases of four. The clear plastic movement trays are also by James - and available here:

However, as can be seen, the last four dismounted Samurai weren't not quite ready in time:


and from the front. On reflection, the red on yellow sashimono is a little distracting. So I will tone it down a bit in due course.

Ashigari with bow:


with arquebus:

    Absolutely stunning!!

    Are those Perry Samurai?

    I love the hill in the background - is that the one with a little temple type structure at the top and a rustic Tori at the base?

    1. Hi Larry,

      Yes, these are all Perry and Jim's hill is the one you describe - he's been churning out some even lovelier stuff recently, but no idea how he intends to surpass this next year.

      Thanks for the kind words.

      Regards,

      Stephen
