In October last year I went on the Geek Nations Samurai Tour. The highlight of the trip was attending the Sekigahara anniversary festival.
A number of the group hired Samurai costumes and joined the parade. I was inspired by a Perry seated figure to model the group. All but two of the figures are made from the Warlord Games Samurai plastic figures with some fairly basic modifications. In the group photo (also attached), one of the group was holding up a Hikone Castle mascot figure so I modelled that, rather larger. It's the creature with yellow horns near the centre.
There are a number of compromises and I made no attempt to model faces, but I tried to match the basic costume and colour schemes.
The seated figure is Dr Stephen Turnbull, as Ishida Mitsunari.
11 No. 28mm Samurai figures. Seated figure and Lord Honda (with antlers) Perry metal, rest are Warlord plastic with some modifications.
