Boxer Rebellion buildings - Second base finished

[OSHIROmodels]

Well, I've finally made a start on the Boxer building range that I've had on the drawing board for about a year, if not longer.

There will be a more complete selection of buildings before they go on the website but I'll use this thread for progress updates etc.

I'll be making ruined versions of most of the buildings and walls but for starters I've got a generic Chinese house and wall section

The house - 100mm long, 70mm wide and 73mm high



The wall - 150mm long and 44mm high


And some comparison shots with a Foundry Imperial Chinese soldier (please excuse the red base)



It'll be a month or so before these get on the site but I've also got the British Ligation entrance on the workbench at the moment but it's a bit big  

The wall shown is a more generic Chinese one, I'll also be making walls that are more ligation quarter specific along with some (hopefully) recognisable buildings.

The walls of Peking itself... We'll see  

cheers

Okay if you like that sort of thing, but it doesn't look much like medieval castle....

This is the kind of thing I need for this project

Cor - those look really nice! Beautifully crisp and precise work there Sir.

Stuff your castle, THIS is where it is at

Wasn't there someone decrying the lack of Chinese (rather than Japanese) buildings recently?  I hope he finds this thread.

Very nice work, as always! There is one detail, though, that jars this occasional China hand's eyes, which is that the tiles look more modern-ish Japanese (sangawarabuki - tiles with integral flat and curved sections) than traditional Chinese in design. Regardless, most people probably won't notice, there could well have been exceptions to the traditional tiling, and the overall effect is great!

Looks stunning jimmybob. I really like it!

How did you make the tiles?

Cheers

That is a very nice building and I always like the way you paint them!

[aggro84]

Lovely stuff as always. 

I've been wanting to do a Chinese Fantasy / Horror theme for a long time and these would be great.

Sweet looking buildings.
I started messing with the Boxer Rebellion in the late 1980's.
May have to restart it.

They're not Japanese, they are actually Mediterranean pantiles but they were the closest thing that I had to the reference photo at the time.

There will be other buildings and walls that have a more recognisable tile to them.

will there be specialized buildings (inn, pub, laundry, etc.? ) You know, for making a whole town?

[smirnoff]

Very nice work
Where did you get the tiles from?
