After a bit of a hiatus, here's something a bit different from the run of WWII coastal warfare posts I've previously been churning out - The Seven Samurai.
I picked these up goodness-knows how many years ago. I do remember it was at Partizan, back when the show was still held at Kelham Hall. They are produced by 1st Corps and I still recall having a long conversation with the guy on the stand about the Kurosawa movie.
At the time I had quite a collection of Dixon Miniatures samurai and I picked these up as they were a good match size-wise. I fell out of love with Dixon samurai long ago and sold off my collection to raise funds for other projects, but I held on to these miniatures.
They don't really fit in with my current favourite Samurai miniatures (Kingsford). The sculpting style is quite 'chunky' and a bit cartoonish, but I think they have lots of character and I do like them for that. Plus, they were a joy to paint. I'm really happy with how they turned out.
Thanks for looking.
