Been a few months since I've painted any models for the game Lunar. These are some new releases from Blacksite Studios. JAXA astronauts. I had no idea that Japan even had a space program, but hey they do!
JAXA stands for Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. They have a mission to build a lunar base in late 20's, but I think, if it happens at all, it will be more like late 30's. I do hope it happens in my life time. I think that would be awesome!
The paint scheme I chose was from the card art. I like it because it reminds me of the Japanese WW2 naval uniforms. Here are my five astronauts I've done for JAXA faction so far....
As always thanks for looking.
Cheers

They look great! The visor reflections add a great deal to their appearance.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave, I normally go with gold visor's but i saw how another painter did this style and I fell in love with it and tried it out. I like the reflection of the moon off their faceplates.

Great looking troops, Kevin. I first thought of 2nd Empire French for the colors, but then again the early Meiji uniforms were styled on the French.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dean, I didn’t think of that but yes you’re right.
