Overgrown rocks

I finished some more scatter terrain for use in Samurai or Russian Civil War games - a couple piles of overgrown rocks.  These are simple stones glued onto some laser-cut ply discs from Fenris Games, with gaps & earth added using coarse paint thickener, then drybrushed & weathered, before painting the areas that were to be dirt & plants in dark brown & khaki green respectively. I then used PVA to affix various flock mixtures & GamersGrass tufts, moss, & wildflowers.  I think the latter really bring the pieces to life.  Makes miniature basing so much easier!

I have very nearly finished painting my first buntai (band/group) for 'Ronin' now - some villainous Edo-period Yakuza.  I'm just trying to find the best way to model a few sheathed katanas to a handful of models that should be equipped with them - it's surprisingly difficult to source non-sci-fi 28mm scale katanas :-s  I'd appreciate any tips of where I might be able to order some, cheers!

My back-up plan is that I have a few leftover empty wakizashi scabbards that I might be able to Green Stuff hilts onto - but my first attempt at this was a mess.
