Title: Building a S.E Asian temple 28mm
Post by: Shipka on April 10, 2018, 08:41:18 AM
Thought I would show you some shots of a Siamese/Laos temple being built for me. Here is the roofline!

That’s a good start and a good shape too. 8) Do you have an idea or a plan to what this is going to look like?

Something along these lines, as I stated before it's being built for me!

I knew that, I was just asking if he was going to a plan or you had given him free rein.

Is he going to do the gold, detail work showing at the gable end of the roof?

Hi Andy , the design process was based around various photos I had sent, rough drawings were prepared, the construction is organic and evolves being tweaked as the building develops. There should be some gold or gilt decoration to the gable ends

Wow, that looks awesome.  Any idea how they did the roofing tiles?

Indeedy! That looks very good indeed. Most refreshing to see something that isn’t a plaster pagoda rescued from a fish tank or a bronze Buddha smelling vaguely of patchouli oil and incense sticks.

The roof tiles were laser cut to order!

A couple shots, paintwork lightened a bit , sculpt-a-mold added to base

This is incredible!  :o
Curved roofs always put me off more complicated builds but you've smashed this one 👌

Some MDF pieces to finish the gables, as the first attempt just did not work

That’s much better! Gorgeous looking building, I just can’t help saying that I find the basing/ flocking lets it down a bit.

Love it!! :-* :-* This will surely be the focal point of your table. The only problem now will be to field terrain that measures up to your temple.
