Unleashing the Ito: Part 5
A good evenings painting last night saw the remaining 4 members of the Ito starter set completed! I had a new camera from my fiance for my birthday that i am still getting used to so the photos dont do the models justice yet:

Unleashing the Ito: Part 4
Work continues on theses guys, i havent got masses done over the last few days with my fiance organising a surprise party for me on my birthday and a committee meeting for the Bunker last night. Im still on course for finishing at the end of the week tho so its all good.
They are coming along nicely and are still a pleasure to paint, being challengingly detailed but that detail isnt hard to pick out as the sculpts are so good. I have the remaining four ito models on order so a far amount of march will be spent doing them!
Bushido looks to be taking off at the club, with several of my mates starting to choose factions ready for some games.... the small size of the ranges and the game size is very appealing.

Unleashing the Ito: Part 3
Back from a great weekend away in Brighton with my fiance, she went to sleep early so i got a chance for some more painting on the remaining Ito models:
The main clothing areas are about 75% done and the bases have been basecoated so im happy with the progress ive made. I was origially going to work on these one at a time but since im using the same colours and its only 4 models i reneged on the vow, and i should have them done early in the week.
I went back and redid the face and some of the skin areas of the first Temple Bushi i completed, and i'll show him updated when the rest of these are completed.
In other news, Battleboards UK have begun work on my new custom board, a 4x4 masterpiece with an intergrated hill and lake feature, perfect for warmachine and other smaller skirmish games such as Bushido that i play. The board isn't just for my own entertainment, i'll be using it for location set photographs of completed commissions and for game development should i find the time to progress my ideas.
More to follow soon!

Unleashing the Ito: Part 2
I had a decent run of time to paint this evening and i managed to complete the first model in the starter set, the Temple bushi:
Im not entirely happy with the face and will probably go back and do it again but i wanted to get this model done before the weekend as im busy for the whole period. Im pleased with how he turned out and it bodes well for the rest of the force.

Unleashing the Ito: Part 1
Ive built, undercoated and washed the 5 models from the Ito starter set:
These were some of the easiest models to put together i have ever encountered, no warping or miscasts, and only a tiny bit of green stuff to strengthen the joints. I used army painter spray but in very small, quick bursts so as not to obscure any detail, and then washed the whole models in gw nuln oil when it was dry.
I find that the inital wash helps define and pick out detail on models, and creates some instant shading that can be worked around, and its massively helped improve my painting over the last year.
I will be painting these models one at a time to give my best work to each one, Bushido is a skirmish game where every model is a unique character at the moment so it seemed only right. There are 4 other Ito models outside the starter set so its not going to be a massive undertaking to get them all painted!
