Clash of Katanas(Takeda CLan)

The new compressor arrived, and hey silly me ordered one without a tank, This weekend I’m going to try adding the tank from the old one this weekend.

I turned on the compressor this morning, but it didn’t stop filling the tank, which is not a good sign. It has a leak. So I’m going to need to replace it, but it’s the day after Christmas, and I’m rather broke.

Okay Christmas is over, time to crack on with the Holiday Hobby.
I’ll be starting with the Samurai, as they’ll be getting the shiny Red armour

Vallejo Model Metallic Air Signal Red 71.070.

Horses were primed last time, so lets push on with them, and get the zenithal layers done.

Okay, so priming with spray cans is the worst, so I have to go back through them all with the airbrush. So annoying.

After adding some textured basing paint, I finally found time to look into priming them.

After dinner I cleaned up, and based the rest of the Ashigaru, Archers, and Matchlock Arquebus(Tanegashima ) users.

After dinner I cleaned up the rest of the Ashigaru, two lots of six Archers, and a large block of guys rocking matchlock arquebus‘

Okay, metal models, so add some warm, soapy, water to the sink, grab the small set of wire brushes as start scrubbing. I personally started with the horses. Then I glued the horses down to their bases, before moving onto the  mounted Samurai. Who were scrubbed clean, and just placed on the horses. Then everyone else, was scrubbed clean, with the Ashigaru, being given some Sashimono, their spears, and being plonked on bases. Not bad for a days work.
