About the Project

This is my Samurai project I stated a few years ago and will be doing for a few more years to come. This is not only miniature painting but conversions, terrain, and rules. As well as some other things I am sure that I am interested as well as inspiration. I hope you will enjoy my journey into the world of Samurai Wargaming.

It is nice when you find a box of assembled archers by accident. It makes starting Uesugi’s force that much easier.

I did my basic flock mix today and will apply grass tufts tomorrow. The Flock mix that I use is a blend of things.
I use sifted dirt, Fine Turf Green Grass ( Woodland Scenics), dried coffee grounds, and a random assortment of inexpensive tea bags ( different colors light to dark). Mix and there you have it a great looking Flock Mix that is easy to make and the best part inexpensive.
And before you start asking what ratios and brands of tea I used. Just play around what you have laying the house because the hell if I can remember.

Alcohol might have been involved =P

So I am starting my last ten bodyguards for Takeda’s army tonight and these will be the last of Takeda’s main force. After this is complete I will be working on bulking up Uesugi’s army. It currently only has 90 men in his force. I will be adding an additional 110 men and when that is complete I will be working on Allies for each army.

What the hell was I thinking when I started this? ?

One more Bandit or Brigand finished you decide =P
