Imjin War Reference II - Uniforms


Continuing with yesterday's update, here are a collection of uniform displays from the time period. Looking over my museum photos I can see several of the inspirations for Perry's 28mm Korean line.  





There were also static displays for earlier periods








Just to bring them together the following are examples from Suwon fortress:



and here are some from Jinju


In addition to the uniform displays, there was a collection of shields featuring some very ornate imagery.


I think this was the inspiration for the Perry Spear/Shield armed heavy infantry




This one appears to be the model for the Perry Miniatures Guerrilla shield. 

Finally, I took some pictures of some of the Murals to help with Color palette and inspiration for banners

    1. Thanks. I originally started this blog because of the lack of references I found for painting 6mm figures. I found a similar lack of resources in my Imjin War project, so I hope to make life easier for the next guy.

    1. I concur. The Museum itself is fantastic. There is a full size mock-up of a Turtle Boat as well as some scale models of the other Korean warships on display. If you are interested in the more modern era, there is a massive collection of Cold War armored vehicles and aircraft on static display.
