For the Unseen Samurai in you
« on: 05 December 2015, 16:36:03 »
While working on some CGL/CSO stuff, decided to pull in some of my older minis and start painting them for eventual sale.  The first one is a favorite scheme of mine.  I know it's a dark red for the Sword of Light, but I like the way the Red Brick/Deep Red/Blood Red triad from Reaper looks.

You're right, that is a great combination. Looks great! O0

That looks good, but from the thread title I was expecting an Unseen Samurai ASF.

Same. You used a misleading thread title as clickbait! For shame!

...and that's a gorgeous ol' MAD. Very simple and effective color for such an ancient miniature.

Great looking unit, Dawg! Doing more to go with it?

I'm trying to find, or if necessary, fabricate the bits to resurrect a broken BD Marauder.

But when I do, I will be replacing the dorsal cannon.

(Possibly adding winglets to make it a MAD II ... it's going to be 10%+ artificial as it is, and not collector-bait, so I may as well have fun with it!)

Yeah, there will be more in SoL colors.  A pair of Donegal Guards are up next, though.

Oh, and for the record, I totally forgot about the Samurai fighter.   #P
