Are you going to draw references, or are you going to wing it as you go? There are some parts, like under the arms and the top of the muzzle, that might be tricky.
I get to my books and a scanner late next week, and I have this book. It features detailed pictures of the armor, both photographs and period drawings. I'll post the images, you'll probably find them interesting even if you've finished the modeling at that point.

Well,the drawing was just because of fun...
for the models itself i try to make samurai-like stuff and exagerate the proportions a bit & simplify so details dont get lost and it fits in the og style.
the book looks cool, i only have some magazines on my own... And the interwebz
i started making some body armor & fittet it to the dog soldier, but the attachment points just dont fit
when passive blocking you now loose one armor plate, you cant throw and blood is removed when sheating.
its all is specific to the katana, so it shouldnt effect other weapons
also made a new blade for the katana with more detail & less polys and the sheated position is now with the blade up
i havent found a possibility to detect the armorposition in angelscript, so it now always removes a random item and im still stuck with the animations
edit: big thx to learn_more for this: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=12653&start=60#p192025

Sorry but that looks wrong, the blade should be down, not facing up.

but but thats how i learned it, so you can make a cut while unsheathing
i still need to override the unsheathanimation somehow to make it look good, as its just grpagnhp right now

Katana+Sheath works, armor is broken. Spawns a checkered whaleman statue. Same with the levels.
