No connection to The Last Samurai
But Here's The Last Bits For This Samurai Armour.
Let's get stuck in shall we?
Cuirass or Do parts gone over with semi-gloss black,dark sea grey dry brushed where required
and decorative faux leather sheets added.

Cording and decorations fitted.

Parts fitted to the stand and laced together.







All looking rather spiffy so far methinks!







Parts for the leg plates taken care of.

All laced together.

Fitted to the rest of the armour.



Stand secured to the box.



The Dragonfly knot on the back of the Cuirass to sort.
The ends have tassels and thankfully the instructions tell you how so...

Tie secure added a short distance from the end of the weaved cord.
Cord unraveled and end given a furious brushing to spread the fibers.

Fold fibers back over the tie, tie again.
The pull fibers back and secure.
Tassels we got!

Dragonfly knot sorted, rear shoulder plate ties in place.



Front shoulder plate ties also in place.

Helmet in position and that's it, we be done!







Ok then, finished gallery can be found by hitting the piccie button below.



Rather happy with how this one turned out for a pretty much straight build out of the box.

As I said at the start of this deal, I always wanted to build one of these kits so that's another to cross off the list.
All good from my perspective.

Hope you lot have enjoyed this run round the Hellhole, more to come at some point i'm sure.

Take good care of yaselves out there now.
