Hello guys~~
I'm going to painting new figure for Seil.
It is 90mm,Samnurai With Harquebus Heian Era.
Sculptor is Jae Hwa Lee.
I painted it by Oil paints,a bit of Humbrol and acrylic.
Thank you.

Regards,

Man jin Kim.

beautiful fleash tones!

pass on a good job to Jae Hwa Lee for a nice sculpting job also

Great looking flesh tones, I for one would like to see more of this one

Dave

He's looking great so far...looks like you're working some beautiful patterns into his clothes...and what a lovely face....looking forward to the next pictures.

All the best.

Roy.

Great face, Kim!

But harquebus in Heian period? Are you sure you didn't get mixed up because as far as I know, the Heian period (794-1192) is much too early for firearms. But then I can be wrong.

In any case looks like a very interesting figure.

Cheers,
Quang

I really like it so much !!!!!!! I will be expecting it a lot when Seil will release. Till then i ll paint their Samurai Commander!!!

Hi Quang

I think you could be right, I think that the Portugese brought such firearms into Japan in 1548 and the Shimazu were the first to realy see the benefits of using such firearms (matchlock) and by 1600 they were very accomplished at using them, and were making their own versions throughout Japan, but I may be wrong....

Dave

Hello Dave,

I think there's a mix-up in the denomination because the clothing/armour is not Heian neither.

But then WE could be wrong. :lol:

Cheers,
Q.

Hi Quang

I could be, but I think you maybe more accurate than me.....

But this is still a lovely looking piece of work and I would love to see some more pictures of it

Dave

WoW this si a brilliant paint work you did in the face, I love it!
ER

That's an outstanding face !

And in my favorite scale.

Like the others I would like to see
more of this figure, and its pose.

I have no knowledge of the period,
but know this looks great

Pete

Great looking face...........and as Roy noted, you're in for some elaborate pattern on the clothing........

Will be waiting for more

Ray

Thanks all gus,^^
I'm sorry,I think Heian period is a problem.
I listened it by Seil.
But I'll ask and check to Seil models,and will edit it tomorrow.
Thank you very much.

Man jin Kim

Joe

Thank you.

Hello all the guys!!

Sorry for the mix up regarding ascertaining in historical age.
The following is what I heard from Seil Models ;
"Arquebus was introduced in Japan in 1543 by Portuguese merchants, and Oda- Nobunaga made the best use of it for the military purpose.
Therefore, the figure this time belongs to the age of late Japanese civil war (the late period of Senkoku Era 1467~1573) Azuchi Momoyama(1573~1603), not the early Heian times."
Anyhow, please pardon me on all the confusion this may cause and thanks for your advices.

Man Jin Kim

I dont know bout the accuracy , but the figure looks cool and the painting especially on the face is magnificent. Just waiting to get this in hands !!!!

Man - jin - Kim

You did a great painting on the figure. I really like your face colour.
As you paint in oils i'm very curious how you managed the face.
Can you share it with us.

Marc

So at now,I'm going to add some more...

Man jin Kim.
