Ronin #8 for Curt

I completed this lad as the entry fee for Curts 3rd Annual Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge . The figure is by Zenit Miniatures , and is a really detailed sculpt. I wanted something with a little colour to it to draw the eye, so settled on a more muted dark colour for the armour with some of the details picked out in red, yellow and white.

So thats it for the various mixed stuff for the challenge - one for unusual entry to do over the period.

There is potentially the first show attendance of the year coming up this weekend at York , not sure if I am going or not yet - but if any of you good readers are let me know - it would be nice to arrange a meet if i get there.

A little distraction - "Geisha Oyuki"

One of Curt's categories for his 3rd Annual Analogue Hobbies painting competition is for a non military figure or vignette. So i thought as his theme this year was for the entrants to do a Samurai figure then what better than to do something to complement it. So here we have"Geisha Oyuki" - a little research on the net gave me a name the means "Honorable Snow" - as Curt is in the depth's of in Canada , and I have the first bout of it here at home in the UK - it seemed a good choice.

The figure is by Spanish company  Zenit Miniatures from their Kensei range. A really nice figure.

It was certainly a challenge to do the pattern on the kimono, and the fans, But pleased with how it turned out.

Really looking forward to the Samurai hero figures.
