With the feudal Japan flame rekindled, I went on a search and found a site that still sold them, but in resin. A transaction was made, and today the fruits of that exchange arrived:
The miniatures are great sculpts, full of character and detail. I'm especially pleased to finally get my mitts on the Daï-Bakemone, wonderful figures! A few details are less "Japanese" than I would like, but that is what conversions are for. One of the Goblin Samurai will get a backbanner and a more fancy helmet and will be the commander of the warband, with the other two armored Goblin Samurai becoming his lieutenants.
These may be next on the list, once I finish my villagers and get started on some terrain....
Wow, nice find.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThese old Rackham sculpts are pretty rare aren't they?
I look forward to see your conversions.
True, they're worth the search though.
VerwijderenThe conversions won't be anything major, just corrections of details I find disagreably non-japanese.
I shall look forward to seeing these assembled!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenAs do I! :D
VerwijderenNothing like getting your hands on a classic model you missed, look forward to the results also! :)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThanks! I'm going to take my time and enjoy these. (I have the villagers to finish first though.)
