Rural shrine complex - Week three, 18th April 2020

[OSHIROmodels]

Right, I’m starting on a 30mins a day challenge created by a chap on a Japanese gaming Facebook group. The idea is to spend around 30mins a day on a project and carry it on for as long as possible. I tried it last year but only lasted a week or two 

It’s terrain this time but when it’s finished I’ll hopefully move onto figures.

It’s a simple, rural shrine complex based very loosely on one near Nara (Yakushi-ji is the main temple).

The buildings are available in the catalogue and I’ll also be adding some additions on a separate base to the front. The reason for the separate base is because I’m trying to break the habit of making stuff willy nilly without a thought to boxing it. This base will fit in a Really Useful Box and the extra base in front should fit into the compound area.

There's a piccy in the LPL here  Haven't had a chance to do any decent set ups with them yet though and want to finish a few more off soon.

Luckily you have almost unlimited access to such great buildings!

Thanks chaps 

Here’s today’s 30mins. Not much really

Decided on a small base to the front to include a torii, offering and hand wash area. It should fit inside the compound.

Also did some stairs up the mound (that will need cutting and filling in) and put a bit of filler around the mound. This’ll be sanded smooth tomorrow.

So far, so awesome.

Thanks

Day three already 

I cheated a bit and painted these late last night but it still only took half an hour or so.

They'll be dotted around the complex (possibly stuck) when it's just about done.

Nice!

[OSHIROmodels]

Thanks 

Completely forgot yesterday so I did an hour or so today. Not much really to show as all it was was cleaning and prepping buildings for painting and then  ‘planting ‘ the steps.

Here’s a bad picture of the steps 



There will be more to show when the buildings get some paint on them

Day six and the wood is just about done. It might need a bit of touching up once the panels are painted but we’ll wait and see.

I don’t think I can spread the panels over several sessions so I think I’ll do them in one go in a few days

Day seven down and it’s just a quick painting session on the odou base. It might get a bit more when the groundwork is done.

Very nicely done timber work. Did you use sprays?

Thanks 

Just for the base coat, everything else was drybrushing and inks.
