After blitzing through my Ninjas last week<\/a> for Test of Honour, I dug out the rest of my kits and decided to push through to see if I can wrap this game up. I made great progress this weekend, starting with the Sword-Master figure for my Dojo Assault set.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This figure has a great dynamic pose and was great to paint up.\u00a0 I used Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai<\/a> for the paint-scheme inspiration. Below is Ky\u00fbz\u00f4, the film’s master swordsman so I thought it was pretty appropriate.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The white lotus petals (or whatever they are) work great to break up the solid shirt and were easy to duplicate with just little white dots together.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

To break up the bottom, I also put an even smaller 3-dot-triangle design to give the model more depth.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I love the model and it’s been one my favorite to paint up.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

To finish up the Ninjas, I needed to work up their group bases as well so I did a quick sand + PVA glue and then primed them.\u00a0 When dry, I finished with a swath of undiluted Nuln Oil wash.\u00a0 This process was almost the exact same technique used for my ninja figure bases so I knew it’d turn out close.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

With the Sword-Master and Ninja bases complete, this almost wraps up the Dojo Assault set since I already have the Dojo itself complete<\/a>.\u00a0 I have the lanterns and the sword\/ruler primed up<\/a> and almost complete as well so I’ll use this week to try and wrap them up.\u00a0 Of course, I did more than get some bases done and wrap up a single Samurai figure but that will have to wait for later this week as I put the finishing touches on some remaining items.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
