'One guard for each direction takes four. Two more as a reserve. You'll need at least… seven, including me.' [Kambei Shimada in Seven Samurai] At last my own seven samurai are ready to protect the peasants' village from marauding bandits. These figures are from are North Star's 28mm Koryu Buntai set, which I finished painting and basing today. More info and pictures on my blog here:

Well done! You've really done justice to a great movie.

Fantastic paint job. I might need to pick these up. The only thing that bugs me is that one or two of the faces don't quite feel right… And the one sword is too big (although could be sanded down.). Great stuff, Roly! |

Very nice! I like the cherry trees as well. |

Beautiful job. This is on my wish list, but I'm trying to avoid getting into new periods this year. |

I've always been tempted to do a project like this with Steve Barber's 42mm range. Superb paint jobs and terrain! |

Actually, someone did do it 25mm using Old Glory figures years ago. This, though, really, really looks great! Very impressive and captures the atmosphere perfectly. |

Actually, after seeing these I figured that would be my next project, after the blood bowl team and a bit more of my French napoleonics fleeing Moscow… A black and white version. |

Not the same figures as mine, but the '28mm Victorian Warfare' blog has already featured some samurai painted in black-and-white. They look great. I guess you would also need a grey cloth and grey scenery?! link

Oh, that's cool! Not sure I approve of the red blood or the flowers… they feel like they detract… but DAMN those are cool. |
