Yamagata Masakage Ashigaru unit for Saga

Well at least I hope it is. Turnbull says he dressed his men in red all the way down to the Ashigaru. Also I hope I have the mon's correct for him fighting with Takeda Shingen around late 1560's early 1570's (using Samurai Archives and a pamphlet produced in the 90's). If not I hope they look the part at least. As I read it looks like there could be several different personal Mon's used by the Samurai who served him. So as I go on with the project and figure it out, I might add some other Mon's to different units dressed in red. I am also going to paint up a few odd Samurai to throw into the mix of Ashigaru. This is the group shot of my first painted up unit for Saga Samurai.

That's it for now, and thanks for looking.

    Beautiful work! I have stacks of the Zvezda 1/72 samurai, but am too intimidated to have a crack at them :)

      Thanks Aaron, and I don't blame you! These guys have lot's of tedious little things you need to do to them. I'm still asking myself how did I get down this road;)
