Nice Martin.

Base coat on the clothing under the armour and more work done on the helmet

[cph64]

The good news is that unless it was metal then Japanese armour was lacquered so you use a good gloss finish. Did you know that horse riders wore a cape which when fluttering stopped them getting shot in the back with arrows?

[MSea]

Yes Chris they sometimes had a wooden frame with the cape round that -

NO Bob - its like ship models if I could get to 50% Haddock level I was happy and it will be the same with Figures - 50% Howard level would be great to me       
Name picked out in white on the helmet - will let it dry and see if it needs another coat

"This way up"?

[MSea]

No it says "she who must be obeyed" well her first name anyway

[zak]

No it says "she who must be obeyed" well her first name anyway

I wonder who that could be?

[MSea]

I wonder hohohho       

[MSea]

At last back to a bit of painting - picking out the rivets and birds on the helmet in gold.

[MSea]

More gold sections added to thearmour

[Bigkev]

That's some intricate paintwork Martin
