George Gouveia's Early Samurai

I recently finished painting up two 15mm Gladiator Early Samurai armies. I based them to recreate the early Clan war between the Taira and Minamoto Clans of the Gempei Wars. They paint up very very nice and have good detail including the lacing patterns. They are larger figures at about 19mm each and are the chunkier style of figure- WELL FED!!!!! However they paint up very nice, I took it on as a painting challenge and even my wife who is never impressed with our "toys" said "Wow those look amazing!!!"
