Several years ago I did some of the 90mm Poste Militaire samurai figures for my brother but this set got left in it's box. I finally decide to get it out and having spent the last year trying NMM, going back to metalics for the helmet was really quite fun. I should probably mention it's not painted after any specific historical piece. I got the idea for the cloud/wave pattern from some L5R books.
Thanks for looking, all votes and comments are appreciated.

The "Steel" was a coat of GW Boltgun Metal over a white undercoat, then treated with thin layers of VMC Bronze Green and VMC Oxford Blue for shading and tinting it. The Darker steel areas were basically the same but recieved some extra layers and a little bit of added black. I think the crest was based with GW burnished gold, then highlighted with an old humbrol gold which is quite light and with a tiny amount of GW Mithril Silver for some extra highlighting and GW Tin Blitz for the shading. |

Yes, the lines with the horsemen would probably have been a bit better with a touch more symmetry to them. As it is they aren't quite the same size either 
As for getting this set now, I don't know anymore. Poste Militaire stopped trading some years ago, this has litterally been sitting on my desk for over 6 years. However, I came across a link on ebay when I started this, it seems their molds and stuff have been taken up by a company in Bath (UK) and they have re-started making some of these wonderful figures again.
They actually made five of six different samurai accessorie kits, but I don't know how much of a range is currently available. This is their site "http://www.bonapartes.co.uk/" |

I really like this. Where could I pick up such a distinctive piece? The design on the back looks a bit iffy (those two diagonal lines being out of symmetry) but overall a great job. | |
