My first 54mm historical miniature: Fukushima Masanori, a 16th century samurai, from Pegaso Miniatures. I referred to existing articles as far as possible in painting this model. The horse's mane was removed and resculpted in a roached cut. The stock base was embellished with field grass and Andrea artificial snow.

Masanori was awarded a silver medal at MMSI 2007 in Chicago, Illinois.
