28mm Samurai Village


I am finally done with my order of PlastCraft Japanese buildings, and have enough for nice little rural village.  These buildings go together just as readily as the smaller ones I posted last month, and I think I came up with a more pleasant paint scheme.

before
I used a Skeleton bone primer for the walls and yellow for the roof pieces.  Wood pieces were in black with a wet-brush of leather-brown/dark woodstain mix.  I hit the roofs with a coating of dark wash, which really brought the bright yellow down to a more subdued tan.  
After
 Next up will be to get some Cherry trees for proper "period feel" as well as a Torii gate and some walls.

Family photo minus the bridge.  

I also took the time to finish a few more Wargames Factory plastic Samurai to go with the new village.  My plan is to add a few more 4/8 person units Saga-type to the collection to allow me to combine them to form the proper 6/12 mix for Lion Rampant.  Although Mason has mastered Lion Rampant rather readily,so it may become the primary Skirmish game for the foreseeable future.

    1. I am really enjoying the ruleset with these. My original plans for Saga have been scuttled.

    1. The nice part with these is that they are relatively cheap, and quick to assemble.
