Looking great already. ;D

The Oshiro buildings certainly are versatile. Looking forward to seeing how this develops. :)

I'm liking the buildings.  Whose are they or are they scratch built?

This is looking very promising!

They certainly are.
They are on my list for later in the year.
I shall be watching this thread with plenty of intent for stealing ideas inspiration.

It's a trap!

For once, 'shiny' caught someone OTHER than moi! They ARE distracting in their possibilities.

I was wondering about the 'buildings' designation including the wharfs, though.  No direct mention of source on those.

Very keen on these; I've played with using Battle Masters towers reworked and Warhammer castles as sea walls, and a Dark World as a small boat jetty, so new ideas most welcome!

I believe the docks are part of Ainsty Castings' Riverfront range:
http://ainstycastings.co.uk/index.php/cPath/48
(right at the bottom of that page, and the single item on the next page)

and from what I can see of the gate at the back centre, I reckon that's Ainsty's cemetery gate:
http://ainstycastings.co.uk/product_info.php/cPath/41/products_id/652

(I've got one of the gates in my unpainted resin mountain, and I've been trying to convince myself that I don't really need food so I can get the docks for a while now ... )

Annoying thing, I know; if a camel could live a week off the hump, I know I could make it a month or three on my girth...

Thanks so much; will definitely put these on my list. Nice thing about the Dark World 'castle' is the jetty steps are included. ;->=

Nice looking set up. I backed the EotD kickstarter with the same idea in mind, a pulp Holmesian setting! I really like the use of the Oshiro buildings too. What are you looking to do for the roads and pavements?

Keep us up to date with this project Mr Pedlar, it looks very shiny.

I'm sure Lord Dewbakuk would be interested in this one.

I'd love to link to it on the IHMN blog if that's alright with you?  :)

Fine by me, but there'll be little to see before late July now, holidays in view you see.
For previous posters, harbour by Ainsty, as are cemetery gates, tombs were from Hasslefree I think.

What are you looking to do for the roads and pavements?
Roads will be created by the placement of the houses, etc on group bases on a 2' x 2' baseboard, painted Payne's Grey, so many configurations will be possible on the same piece, also to configure with the existing two pieces from 1920's game.
Pavements will be 'modelled' on the thin MDF sheets you can se some buildings on in the picture.
