Woo hoo! I painted some figures 😂 Another batch of Ikko Ikki/monos finished off to go with the religious KS tutorials I’m working on. 20 or so more and that should do (already got a few monks and other itinerants done). #oshiromodels #wargaming #nerdlings #perryminiatures #sengokujidai
A group of 28mm Perry Miniatures Ikko Ikki painted fairly uniformly. The armour is either dark shades of brown or grey (almost black for both) with lighter cloth undergarments (predominantly white). The lacing has been picked out in light tones to help make the figures pop a bit. Based on U.K. pennies.

New little range of medieval facades in the catalogue. Two houses and two passage entrances 😊 They can be used if you've got limited table space, make your towns look a little busier or even used as a backdrop for photos. www.oshiromodels.co.uk/medievalfaca... #oshiromodels #wargaming #nerdlings
Some of the facades put together with a house in the left and on the right with a passage entrance in the middle. All painted in warm creams and browns for the panels and woodwork. The roofs are terracotta with plenty of tonal variations (which of course aren’t apparent in this photo 🙄😂) 

Corporal Hosiah Jenkins has heard a noise, but what can it be!?!A single townhouse facade with a gable end roof. Terracotta tiles and warm brown woodwork aren’t enough to stop Corporal Hosiah Jenkins patrolling around trying to discover what the sound was he heard. Townhouse facade with a sloping roof and a gable on either end. Same colour scheme as the other. The corporal has got his pointy stick out now. One of the passage facades painted, you’ve guessed it, in the same way as the others. The corporal is getting annoyed as the source of the noise seems to have disappeared.

Got a little release today of some new 15 Japanese post-town buildings. The 15mm and 6mm ranges will be getting some love over the coming months so watch this (and other) spaces. www.oshiromodels.co.uk/15posttown #oshiromodels #wargaming #nerdlings #sengokujidai #posttown
Two 15mm scale post-town buildings with a couple of bases of 15mm samurai in front of them (Honda clan, looking for trouble). Painted in warm browns for the woodwork, warm tan for the wall panels and a grey/green for the roof tiles.

Chasseurs A Cheval! Not my bestsellrar but glad to see them done. Detail was a bit lacking and my style didn’t really suit them. Hope you like them anyways! Minis are from Warlord Games. #warmongers #wepaintminis #wargaming #miniaturepainting #blackpowder #28mm #napoleonic

I've added a little tutorial over on OSHIROblog using some of the items from the current KS. There's still a few days to go if you haven't pledged already 😁 www.oshiromodels.co.uk/post/a-littl... www.kickstarter.com/projects/osh... #oshiromodels #wargaming #nerdlings #kickstarter
A very scenic shot of the finish tutorial item. There’s a torii gate in the middle flanked by large stone lanterns with a couple of small offerings next to them. Beyond the torri a large offering can be seen on the right and a partial view of a hand wash station (with the pointy roof) on the left. Graves can be seen further in and the whole lot is surrounded by a slight raised earthwork with a few trees planted in it.

Couple of things. Firstly, I've had to come away for a week or two. Orders can still be placed but they’ll be posted from the 10th onwards. Secondly, I've got a couple of new bits in the Peninsular additions range released today; a fountain and a porch 👍 www.oshiromodels.co.uk/peninsulaadd...
An eight sided stone fountain painted a light tan colour with a patina coated water spout in the middle. A simple porch/extension with multicoloured pantiles and a dark brown door.

Well, finally the market cross is here! Two options (as shown) plus painted versions also available 👍 www.oshiromodels.co.uk/medievalbuil... #oshiromodels #wargaming #nerdlings #medieval
A full frontal (oo-er) shot of the market cross showing the whole set. A stone base with wooden columns, panelled and enclosed staircase with a panelled upper floor and tiled roof. The stone is painted stone colour (😬), the wood, wood colour (can you see where this is going), the panels are a light tan and the roof various shades of terracotta (around seven I think). A shot showing all the parts for the whole set and a rather bemused royalist amongst it all. The ‘low’ version which just consists of the base, eight columns and the roof.

#HillfortsWednesday Brent Tor -  Iron Age earthworks & remnants of a Hill fort. Unusually, the fortifications are at the base of the Tor.The northern ramparts in particular are well preserved, displaying a multi-vallate pattern characteristic of the Iron-A, or early -B, culture.
