<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For our next big project Jen and I decided to cooperate painting the classical film characters from the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Samurai" target="_blank">Seven Samurai</a>. This set is from a Japanese toy company Kaiyodo. We thought the figures are very nicely sculpted even though it was made as toy (Jen is a big gashapon fan). As we are both fan of the film, we can not pass this one up. Luckily Jen found it for sale in Japan as this is extremely rare set to find. Anyways, We hope you will follow our blog as we can see this will take a while to paint. Please enjoy!</div>

It is truly a nice set. At 1/35 from feet to eyes the facial sculpt is incredibly done. I just hope I can do justice with this set. I promise I will take better photographs when it is done!<br />

We think they look really good. I got the description of each character from Wikipedia and the images from Kaiyodo, which I think its pretty dead on. If you are interested to see more about this set (which contains the colored version), You can see it at their website <a href="http://www.qbg.co.jp/kurosawa/" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

Here are the flyer and color reference the came with the set. As you can see the pattern of the kimonos are complex and must be paint it in a drab color tone. This will be a challenge for us.<br />

Hello Folks,<br />
<br />
Well, here it is, finally done. I actually want to tell you alot of things and share with all my frustrations while working on this figure, but for now, I can not think of anything to complaint. Yeah... I'm not going to lie to you I am quite happy with it. However this does not mean it could not be improved. I made alot of compromise to make this figure complete. Even though it seems like taking forever.<br />
<br />
Right now, I just want to relax. I hope you share my joy of completing a figure. You know, you all know, what is like when you finish a long project.<br />
<br />
So I'm not going to say much, please enjoy. I sincerely hope you do.<br />
<br />
Warm regards,<br />
<br />
Ben<br />

Hello Folks,<br />
<br />
Something Jen and I cooked up over the weekend. This time it is the famous "Charging Chassuer" painting by Theodore Gericault. I start out with the classic Wargame Foundry version and tweak a little. Since Wargame Foundry is 25mm, I decide to made the horse larger to match the Perry's Miniature so they look a little better sitting next to each other. <br />
<br />
There are few things I want to accomplish on this figure, here are my train of thoughts:<br />
1. To match the painting as close as possible.<br />
2. at the same time to preserve the style of orginial miniature.<br />
3. Match the size of Perry's Figure in 28mm<br />
<br />
It was difficult for me and now I have even more respect for the sculptors. I had to made some compromises but at the same time trying to keep the spirit of the painting.<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoy. I will probably paint it in the coming month.<br />
<br />

<br />
Finally I got my first Napoleonic reference book. I decided to pay a handsome sum of money so my fellow figure painters would stop laughing at me. (you know who you are...Randall and Sascha!)<br />

Most of my books are about painting. However, this is my first reference book and I am quite excited about it. I haven't the time to look through it but I just want to proof to my dear friends I finally got a reference book on what I am painting lol~ Which most of the time I rely on the gents' expertise above mentioned. I want to thank them for their tremendous help.<br />

Well, this post is not about the book review, but just by flipping through the page it start to give me the idea on more advanced level of painting such as more dramatic light and shadow and NMM. If you are interested in this book, check out the reviews here:<br />

<br />
After looking at the voting, I can not contain my excitement even though I know the result is not in... I don't care. I decide to start working on it anyway LOL~ <br />
<br />
British Rifle is one of my favorite unit in Napoleonic era and I'm glad I finally paint one.<br />

The challenge this time is all about the face. I am no longer satisfied with the blank stare. So I decide to paint face with expression from now on.<br />
<br />
After careful consideration with his posture, I decide to give this gent an arrogance look. With the British long and proud history of military tradition, this fellow is defiant and contempt of the mighty French empire.<br />
<br />
As a clinical painter (I love clean work), This time I decide to add some mud to the trouser. Mixing baking soda and paint, I paint it to simulate mud with texture. However, I decide to only paint mud on one knee. Logically, we humans usually kneel on the same knee. Afterall, we are creatures of habit.<br />
<br />
Offensive Miniatures did an excellent job on their figures. IMHO they are good is because the animation of the sculptures are believable and natural, not to mention interesting. However, if you want to push the even further then watch out for the missing details such as buckles and cuff buttons. Also, this figure is a tad smaller than Perry and Victrix figures. <br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<em>As you can see, the Offensive Miniature figure is smaller next to Victrix plastic.</em><br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
How ever, I don't think it makes too much difference for gamers. But you can clearly see the difference. Since I only have one set from OM, I can not speak for other figures from their company.</div>
</div>
<br />
The reason I have not done the base is because I decide to custom order them. Once they arrived I will build them.<br />
<br />
Anyways, rambling on again. but hopefully this explain my train of thought. Whether plain or complex uniform, there is always a challenge waiting for us.<br />
<br />
Best regards,<br />

Let see... 20 hours per figure and there are roughly 1,500 figures so far... so I think three of us will finish painting all these figures about 30,000 hours... Gents, that is 41 years. Not bad!<br />
<br />
PS: Will trade some Perry infantry box fig for Victrix infantry box fig.<br />

<br />
Just want to share one of my favorite nastalgic set today. Still getting the hang of using this blog thing lol. Today Postmaster Phil came by and dropped off this sets of figures.<br />
<br />
This set is the now discontinued Halfling Hotpot team from Games Workshop. From what I understand this set is rather hard to find now. I won it on eBay few days ago for a fairly good price. When they arrive they were painted but it does show some age so I decide to strip the paint off and who knows, maybe one day give them a new sets of color. Even though I hardly paint fantasy subject, I do have affinity for these little guys. Perhaps they were in the first issue of White Dwarf Magazine I ever bought. As a child, those painted example in the magazine were things to dream about. I would spend days looking at them but never have the courage nor finance to follow through. Now giving a second chance and alot older, I decide to acquire this little gem.<br />

<em>Size comparison with Reaper Master Series paint.</em></div>
<br />
<br />
My humble thoughts on the Victrix plastic highlander figures:<br />
<br />
Victrix did a beautiful job sculpting and provide an oppotunity for us be able to purchase large amount of these multi-pose figures at a good price. I like the dynamic poses and freedom to assemble these men in action rather than all marching. Another great thing about this box is that there are kneeling figures, which, in my limited knowledge in the world of 28mm plastic figures, Kneeling figures are not common in other box sets. <br />
<br />
About the scuplting, the figure is well porportioned with crisp details easily able to recognise what you are painting. So for a detail fan like me is a true joy. <br />
<br />
My favorite part of the whole sculpt is the head dress, which natually flows with deep nice details and rich textures. Although a bit difficult to express black with highlight, the sculpting itself help to define it for me with out having to resort to drybrushing.<br />
<br />
The backpack I also liked. The box offered four different styles: with shoes, with pot, with a small bag, and plain. I think its fantastic that Victrix offer such variety of options rather than just a plain one. After some thought, I decide to use the backpack with pot. Now after examing I realise the pot is done in a perfect circular shape almost like a disc. Therefore need to rough it up a little and added dents to it to give a little more character. Another thing worth noting on the backpack is that there are no sculpted buckles on the straps, which something you might consider adding when painting this figure.<br />
<br />
The water canteen have nice texture wood grain on it. I decide to paint the Board of Ordnance with the arrow marking and regiment number on it. In my research it is not necessary to have, but does gives a contrast to the blue background and the ease of recognition on the battlefield. However, I wish Victrix include the waterslide decals with the kit like some of the 1/35 figure kit offer. That would be nice. Again, there are no buckle sculpted on the strap, you might want to paint that on there for accuracy reasons.<br />
<br />
The face is something to watch out for. The lower lip of the sculpt is a bit large so I decided to paint him open mouthed. The nose is also a bit wide but could easily disguise with shadow to make it narrower. As for the of the head, the hat, the visor, the ears, all top notch. The ribbon on the back is even sculpted! Fantastic.<br />
<br />
Anyways, I am rambling on. As you might able to tell, I am quite excited about the world of 28mm . I want to thank you all for reading if you get this far, and thank my partner Jen. Without her, all our projects could not be such joy and realised.<br />
<br />
Comments and criticisms are most welcome.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">H</span>ello folks, Jen and I decided to start a joint blog after two years painting figures. We have been collaborate on many projects for years. This hussar will be our first 28mm figures and hopefully we will paint more in the future.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">R</span>ecently, Jen and I decided to build a gaming table. We have never played any wargame before but we thought it might be fun just to get the table set up. Something to do while taking breaks from painting figures.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now we don't like the store bought and painted terrain for two reasons. First, most of them the felt seems too green and uniformed... in a way, kinda cartoonish. Second, they are so expensive! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Neither us have experience in building terrain so we resort to the web for examples and bought a Games Workshop book "<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Make-Wargames-Terrain-Nigel-Stillman/dp/1872372449/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top">How To Make Wargames Terrain</a>" . Reading the book was alot of fun, so we decide to start with something easy. We decide to build some small hills! (insert dramatic music).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So we were on a mission and determine to build it ourselves to save few bucks. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I found a pink insulation foam board in my garage left over from home improvement project, cut it up, and sand it down. I used the garden dirt in my backyard as base, add some twigs and static grass, paint it, and here is the result.</div>

I placed these hills on our gaming table which we built around the same time. The river sets are from Battle Field in a Box which I think could use some improvement. The table, static grass, glue, and the 6' x 4' green felt all costed us about $30 USD. Two sets of rivers cost me about $40 which is more than the table and hills combine! Oh well, at least I can use them as blue print for rivers we will be making later. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Well, that is it, the hills took us one weekend to do. We like them but as always there are room to improve. We will tackle something more difficult on our next session. I guess something hilly with rock face or giant boulders.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For you experienced wargamers, please give us your feedback on what to improve on gaming table. Very much apprecaited!</div>

Oldie but something I am fond of. It's a conversion of an Italeri 1/72 Dragoon. It depicts the "Dragoon Sapeur " by the famous artist Edouard Detaille, which my dear friend <span style="color: red;"><a href="http://zedsnappies.blogspot.com/">Sascha</a> </span>think is a terrible artist. :)</div>
