Gentlemen,

I have a request…

I am working on a new range of Samurai decals for the Sengoku Jidai – Warring States period 1550 – 1615. The range will be extensive and will cover most of the major protagonists of the period. I am planning to have each sheet in three versions to fit 3 manufacturers so far: Perry's 28mm Samurai, Kingsford Miniatures 28mm Samurai and Zvezda 1:72 scale Samurai. I am currently working on Uesugi Kenshin sized for Perrys.

My problem is that I do not have the following packs:

SAM27 Small Mantlets
SAM28 Tall Sashimono
SAM50 Maku Screen

I could order them, but all I need is the dimensions in mm. I am reluctant to order 3 packs and spend close to $50.00 USD with shipping to the US only to find out the sizes. Besides, even more importantly, I do not want to wait. I am in the middle of the project and could finish it within a day, making the first series available for Perry's enthusiasts.

I was wondering if anyone out there could let me know the surface sizes of the sashimono, the mantlets and the Maku screen in mm? That way I could continue uninterrupted. Here is a sample of future decals:

You can see my other decals at imperialforge.net to ascertain that I mean business

Thanks for any help!

Good luck with it! Unfortunately I don't have any of the above Perry packs…but I'll be buying the decals when you've got them. :D

Try asking Steve at Age of Glory, he stocks those figs for sale at conventions.

btw – I can't wait to get some of those decals.

Forgive the hijack, but the temptation is too strong. But for future consideration, any thought about doing some sparrow-and-bamboo mon for the Date clan?

These defy hand painting with my eyesight.

Tall sashimono: Height 18mm of which the cross pole is about 1mm. Width 8mm of which the pole takes up 2mm. I would treat the cloth as 6mm wide for decal purposes.

Small mantlet: Height 22mm width 15mm

Maku screen: Cloth is 28mm high and 40mm long.

Good luck! I would like to see the Uesegi mon and the Tokugawa mon.

I am thinking on making a pretty extensive range. I just came back from Japan where I did some good research, so I am ready to go. I just need to get those sizes…
