Hi Guys
Just a quick post to show you guys how the Shimazu Arquebusier is coming along, its taking me ages, but I am loving every bit of it, this is a beautiful kit. All the parts are still separate, just held together with blue tac to see how it looks. I have only just started the groundwork and plan on adding Autumnal foliage and long read grass around the tree stump. As you can see, there is still loads to do, so be gentle. All comments welcome, good or bad

Dave

Is this the Pegaso kit? This figure never really interested me but after seeing what you are doing with it i may just have to get one myself. The black armor looks very convincing. How did you get such a nice shine?

Hi David

Yes it is the 90mm pegaso kit, you realy must have a go at this one its a great kit. The shine on the armour is just humbrol gloss over acylic black base...

Dave

Beautiful work Mr Dave ... I like the choice of colors

Dave, here's my response...........

EXCELLENT detail painting! It's really making this figure standout. One of your best to date. When do you tackle the fleshtones?

Hi Jim

I have actually finished the flesh on the face, but I was going to wait to finish the helmet before posting, but that may be tonight anyway, thanks for the comments very much appreciated.

Dave

Dave, he looks absolutely beautiful...the colours are working really well.
Looking at the fabulous detail close-up last week was a pleasure.
The photo's unfortunately don't show it for what it really is...exceptional..!!

All the best mate.

Roy.

Dave,

In my opinion you did a great paintjob so far. And i have to echo Roy,
please make some closeups. I always admire the work that is done on the armor of a japanese warrior.

Marc

DUH! :lol: I just looked at your previous post on this figure and lo and behold, there's the face. :lol: Sometimes I should look before I ask.

Jim Patrick

By the way, when you put the pic up of the face again, can you share your mix for the flesh?

I just thought I would add some detail shots as requested, hope they look OK

Dave

Hey Dave, very nice and thanks for posting closeups.

Keep up the good work

Cheers

Roc. :lol:

Amazing work, the face is very well done, I want to buy this figure but it's kind expensive I hope to paint it in the near future, thanks for sharing

Yes, I can certainly assure planteers that the photos don't do this one justice!
Nice work Dave!

This is great Dave.
What an awesome paintjob. I really like the face.

Marc

Awesome work Dave..........you have done a superb job on one of my favorite figures

Looking Good there Dave. I can't wait to see the finished model. Keep on whistling the theme from the Water Margin as you paint....
