I can't imagine how long this took to complete. They array of colours is amazing (most of my builds have a bout 3 or 4 colours on the outside) Great job.

thanks for all the comments, took a while to do but one of my favourite subjects


have 3 more on the go, the minimart standing figure120mm, pegaso kneeling samurai 90mm and pegaso mounted samurai 90mm which is more demanding than this one, have to keep leaving it and then going back


Monica long admired your work, I cheated a bit as I could not get the desired effect I was after, so made my own waterslide transfers


very pleased with the result

I wouldn't have a clue where to start one one of these Peter and I`d screw it up.......THAT IS AN ABSOLUTELY CRACKING JOB........BIG 10/10 from me.

Wonderful Peter, did a samurai myself years ago and so I can appreciate just how involved painting this was.

 

[Guest]

thanks again for all the good feedback on this one, was not sure about the Bonsai tree addition until I added it


but finishes off the scene


Monica, waterslide really easy to do you can pick the paper off Ebay and download a suitable picture


I adjust the size in word and just print them out, fix and cover with decal fix make sure you get the clear stuff and not the white background material


I also use these for the logos on headstocks for my cigar box guitars
