Knights of the Far East

Posted by Konrad on 25 Dec 2022, 12:09

In 1982 the series "Shogun" came on German television.
Since then, I've admired everything related to feudal
Japan and its great warriors.
The Samurais.
Over the years I've collected everything related to samurais.
Books, movies.
And of course figures.
These are from STEEL FIST MINIATURES.
It's supposed to be a big scene with a daimyo
and his entourage.
I exchanged the tin spears for plastic again.
I just can't get them straight.

I made the pictures bigger so that the "old people" can see my work better. ;-)
I hope you like my work and have peaceful days in these crazy times.

It was the same for me, Konrad. I remember that wonderful series and how I knew throught it the Samurai world. My interest for these legendary warriors dated from then. ;-)

Your figures are awesome. You have made a great paintjob on them! :thumbup:

Wonderful Ashigaru figures to add to your previous fantastic Samurais, Konrad. :notworthy:
