Armour was lakkered, do I spray glossy and leave it glossy on the armour ? |

I've tried it both glossy and black and i can't make up my mind which I like better. I've been told though at this scale glossy would not show. I say do what you think looks best.

Don't spray glossy. Just paint a gloss coat on the armour. The whole guy wouldn't have been glossy even if his armour was. |

I just use appropriate ink color (red, brown, black, etc…). Works out well. |

I'd go with satin. A bit glossy, but not overly so, for a realistic finish. |

I use a watered down satin finish on all the lacquer bits. It gives a hint of the shine which looks more in scale to me.

Figman those are really nice, gives me something to aspire to when I get around to painting up my WGF samurai and ashigaru. |

Thanks. They are time consuming but I love painting them. |

Wow! They are beyond nice!
If it's not an impolite question – how long does each one take you to do?
And do you do them individually? or as a production line?
And while I'm asking – what rules set are they based for?
And where did you source the colours from …
Actually could we trouble you to prepare the beginners guide to the period as the OFM did for the AWI …??
No – just a thought :-)
Thanks for sharing the photos – very inspirational |
