Ronin Project 01

The Ronin Project 1

The publication of the "Ronin" skirmish rules for Feudal Japan has given me the excuse to get some of the Wargames Factory "Rising Sun" 28mm range of plastic figures.

I'm starting with the Ashigaru missile men as this was the only box I could get readily.

It makes up 25 figures, archers or musket men, from five identical sprues with 5 figures to a sprue.

The leg pieces are obviously paired and matching a bow arm (top left) with a bow arm (bottom left) is straightforward however I expect some challenges matching appropriate left and right arms for the firearm variants.

It seemed sensible to paint the heads while they were still on the sprue


This is the test/first figure. Looks a bit odd with the head already done.



And here he is finished except for a design for the back banner.
