SAMURAI THREE His clothes are definitely the most complex of all of  them, and has by far the longest description. However,  they are broken down into smaller sections so can be  tackled in manageable quantities.   HAKAMA (big trousers) His trousers are white fading into green. I did the white  first to about half way up the trousers leg.  1. AP-WP1102 - Matt White mixed with AP-WP1117 - Ash Grey and AP-WP1121 - Desert Yellow 2. plus AP-WP1102 - Matt White 3. plus more AP-WP1102 - Matt White 4. pure AP-WP1102 - Matt White I the painted the top half in green making sure that it  overlapped the white slightly.  1. AP-WP1111 - Greenskin 2. plus AP-WP1109 - Goblin Green 3. plus more AP-WP1109 - Goblin Green  4. pure AP-WP1109 - Goblin Green BLENDING The tricky part was to blend between the two colours to  get a soft fade between them. I did this by using by  thinning the Goblin Green down with water to a wash  and then painting this on at the junction of the colours. It  took several coats to achieve a satisfactory result. I also  did the sword grip in the green while I had it mixed up.

AP-WP1105 - Dragon Red   plus AP-WP1104 - Pure Red 4. above plus AP-WP1106 - Lava Orange SHITAGI PATTERN The pattern is in pure white, three dots with three lines  below. I did all the dots first to get the position right, then  when back and did the lines below the dots.  1. pure AP-WP1102 - Matt White JINBAORI (short coat) This has a very complicated pattern. Firstly I painted the  bottom band of the coat in white. Then I painted the  yellow band and then the black. Finally I added the other  designs. White band 1.
