The Ronin Project 2

Completing the first sprue

Generally speaking, when building up plastic figures, I do a sprue's worth at a time.

So here are the other four. 



The arrow in the ground was one cut from the arm of another figure (see last below)



There are only four bows on the sprue so one had to be firearm armed. The first thing I did was look carefully at the sprue and mark left and right arms before cutting off the pair for the man loading. Note there is only one musket with a ramrod protruding to meet the arm with the top of the ramrod



One pair of legs give the kneeling position



This pair of legs gives this leaned over position.  Between the bow arm chosen and the arm with the arrow, I could not get the arrow to rest anywhere realistically against the bow. It got cut out and provided the one for the base of the top figure.
