Young lady

Here is a little post to prove that I haven't abandoned this blog! A young lady for Osprey's Ronin skirmish game.  I had very little free time over the Christmas period to finish wargames stuff, although I have been building some more Necromunda Underhive creatures, as well as two buntai (bands/groups) for Late Edo era Ronin - a dastardly Yakuza gang, & a noble Koryu (sword school).  If you've ever seen a Zatoichi film, you'll know what I am aiming for with my Yakuza gang - lots of katana-fodder...

Anyway, this figure is my test piece for the civilians.  She is from Hasslefree Miniatures, & marketed as 'Mineko'.  She could be a serving girl at an inn, or perhaps a geisha or brothel worker.  Or maybe the daughter of a samurai (perhaps the Yakuza might foolishly try kidnapping her for ransom).  Fairly pleased with the overall look & simple patterning on the kimono & obi, considering that the figure is less than 3cm tall.  The basing is a mix of Gale Force Nine flocks, & Gamer's Grass tufts & flowers.

Plenty more Ronin stuff to follow!
