    Ouch! [winces]

    that's a fairly broad topic....
    Its like asking "I need images of armoured knights, french"

    Armour in both cases evolved over time, as did the use of armour and how the wearers fought in armour.

    here is a photobucket image of an later era Ashigaru, going by the mostly one piece chest armour (the exact name escapes now)

    And a Google rack of Samurai armour

    A bit more of a dive into history will help clarify which armour was predominant in which period, and which didn't exists before a certain date...

    which will help you get your sculpting correct

    cheers
