1-2 hours for a paper samurai? Man that's a true fan.

I'd be interested in some larger- say 120mm- figures in vinyl or ceramic. You know for cool looking dust-collectors http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif they can go next to my Drakar model, or my chess-set collection.

Woah, chess pieces; what a good idea!

Arquebusiers or yaris as pawns, sohei (warrior monks) as bishops, a noble woman or geisha as the queen . . .

Only 3 words could adequately decribe what I just saw...

OH MY GOD!

That's more than just being a fan Ship! That is true fanaticism. I have those flags save on my harddrive already, not sure if I got them from this site or not. Actually, it was quite amazing to see the figures he had already done!

The flag collections are nice.

I would like to see the rest of his collection. I wonder how he does bows and arquebuses. I wonder if he varies the poses, or makes them identical like a set of lead figures.

At least the paint doesn't chip.

On this page of the guy's site:

...on the red Kakizaki banner -- is that a mutant Japanese parsnip?

You mean that insect? I didn't know there was that much background radiation in 16th century Japan. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif (Okay, it's not red.)

BTW, take a look at that Suda banner in the second lowest row. And some people have the nerve to complain about Wolfenstein 3D.

Word-san,

I guess that's a daikon, the huge Japanese radish.

It shows a difference between that culture and Western. Can you imagine a 17th Century Irish military unit using a potato on their standard?
