Many thanks JJ :-) In answer to your questions: I started this back in November I think, have only had short periods of time to work on it… I am hoping to game with it, I'm creating a semi-historical campaign based in Hida province, plenty of small clans, with the Ikko-Ikki to the west, the Takeda and Uesugi to the east. Space is at a premium here so everything gets stored on a very small shelf! Next up I'm thinking of expanding the castle town/village, maybe adding a lighthouse, dock sides, boats etc… time will tell… I have yet to get all my figures painted too… GAH!! :-D |

Beautiful, but that furry monster could be a problem. |

Boo-yah! that's seriously cool. |

The Great Cat of Kamioka is pretty cute too. |

Many thanks ironicon, rmaker & Jamesonsafari :-) The great Cat is very cute… and not really a problem either :-D |

Seriously class work there Snake777. Some of the low angle shots of the courtyard look amazingly lifelike. I don't know much about paper models, will it be strong enough to be used on a wargames table? |

Many thanks Cuchulainn :-) My stuff is well reinforced with 1.5mm greyboard, wax and varnish, the finished articles are pretty robust, and easily repairable, afew dents also add to the realism I find :-D |

I still find it hard to believe that the castle roof is just printed paper and doesn't have real 3D tiles Great work Stu John |

These are superb, Snake. You are a master craftsman Bud. |

Many thanks John & Derek :-) @ John… it's all theatrical really, the textures are laid over corrugated card and then distressed mightily…! |

Everything about these are amazing and inspirational. The construction, selection of printed textures, use of colour and weathering in the paintwork. Not to mention the photography and lighting – had to do a double take at a couple as they looked so "real". Also a great boost for 1/72 plastic figures with the Zvezda samurai showcased beautifully. |

Thank you warhawkwind & Durruti, I greatly appreciate your comments :-) @ Durruti – Good natural light helps with the suspension of disbelief :-) and my stuff looks much better from a distance!! :-D Thank you again… |
