Last of the Ikko Ikki - for now

 With all the Oda units rolling off the table, it seemed like a good time to paint the last of my Ikko Ikki models as well.  I am nearly to the bottom of the lead pile when it comes to the Perry Samurai range, and I came across another pack of Ikko Ikki handgunners.  I opted to try these with the same grey primer/black undercoat as the last set and to try a more simple pattern on some of the tunics.
 The new undercoat is working for the tans and reds, but I think the whites are still coming out a little too dirty.  Overall though, I think I prefer the flatter colors for this group.

  1. I like the earth tones a lot on this batch and the whites look goods to me.

    1. Thanks. I swapped out normal 'flat white' for AP's "Starship Exterior" it has a little more grey which pulls down the brightness
