Got myself into painting Japanese Samurai stuff. A collector of Japanese items bought a box of Poste Militair figures and asked me to paint it (for a fee of course ). Well, it sure is something else...
All metal stuff so bit hard to paint and glue but it's funny.
Figures
Military figures of all shapes and sizes.

Done. I only need to add a tree of something like that but that should do it. One Jap left to go but he'll have to wait untill I finished some stuff of my own.
For the horse I used the oilpaint-technique. Works quit nice.
