Having 30 castings of the 15mm Japanese schoolgirls, I figured I'd try to see how hard it would be to convert them. The pewter used by 15mm.co.uk is quite sturdy, but it didn't take long to file details off as needed.
The first project was to dress some of them as mikos. What is a miko? It roughly translates to "shrine maiden" or "female shaman", and they are usually thought to have spiritual powers. Of course, they wear the same basic clothes as unarmoured samurai, but with a simple red and white scheme.
I don't honestly think it's the greatest conversion ever, as some of the putty was hardening on one of the hakamas (trousers), but they'll still be useful later down the line when I sculpt some actual mikos. Unlike these ones, they won't have modern hairstyles or shoes.
And of course, the minis are available here:
