Samurai Artillery

Posted by panzerman on 24 Mar 2015, 07:27

Aoshima kit, 1/35th scale, out of production.
Image
Built cannon as per instructions. Kit detail is very basic....will add details during build.
Image
Replaced kit malformed heads and hands with better ones(from Tamiya Japanese infantry set).
Image
Fashioned cannon's ornamental Dragon head out of Miliput epoxy. Carved in wood grain texture, added bolt details, and tow toggles.
Image
More to follow....enjoying this build.

Great!

I have the same set. But a look at those faces always chased me away from assembling or painting them.
Great work in improving this set - I will follow your WIP with interest!

Very Good panzerman. Nice bright idea for conversion work. Like that Fiery Beast of a Cannon too. BB
