28mm Yamashiro

[OSHIROmodels]

Well, its finally ready (the first parts anyway) and they are below 

They will be on the website next week and along with the individual parts I'm going to be doing as sets, the first consisting of a gateway, two external corners of 60 degrees and two straight sections.

This will do for a table edge or corner. More expansions will be available later.

Anyway, on to the piccys 







Of course there is more on the blog

One of the nicest places I saw near Hakone was a customs post/garrison on the Tokaido.  I always thought that that would be more useful on a table than a castle:

Really nice looking gateway and corner sections. So are you going to be casting these in resin, and selling them? Great work - as always.

[Silent Invader]

Really nice! 

[Svennn]

Nice

It was a balsa one of these that first led me to Oshiro

Thanks for the comments chaps

Now that's an interesting idea. I think that one you've shown is more Edo period (looking at the roof and not knowing more about it) but it certainly sounds a goer

These are the resin ones and they will be on the website for sale next week

Excuse my ignorance, but which website?  Would it be your blog site http://jimbibblyblog.blogspot.com/ ?

Thanks.

Certainly Edo.  Here is me getting the shakedown by the local law:




His watch suggests that anachronism is not one of the strong points....

Always on time the Japanese, didn't you know   

I will have a look into the customs post for Sengoku though, it might prove worthwhile 

cheers

Great stuff there Jimbib.

Joroas, you look great in that costume but the local law looks a bit casual.

IIRC, a similar, but much more rustic customs post features in an old B&W Kurosawa film, although that one seemed to be located somewhere along a boundary between two daimyos' domains. Unfortunately, I forget which film it was - The Hidden Fortress?

 I love hidden fortress I had an idea to update it to a sci-fi setting. The defeated Daimyos daughter could become a sorta space princess. Her two squabling, wandering ashigaru retainers,maybe a pair of robots? with Toshiro Mifunes' ronin character I was thinking of splitting him into two, 1 being a cheeky but lovable mercenary type who finds redemption through friendship and the second a young man who although poor and unworldly is secretly a noble. To reflect Shinto I think the idea of kami(the divine or spirit) should be included.Maybe an all encompassing or universal 'force'. I cant think what to call it though.  Oh yeah, and keep the martial arts element. Tart it up a bit so its a bit so its sci-fi and it may work. any other suggestions greatly accepted
