Hallo All,

Am new here but wanted to share some of my Japanese terrain pieces, I'm in the process of building a 1/72 Samurai clan and needed a few bitz to go with them, so here is my WIP of Kamioka Castle, a small Yamashiro in Hida Province, dates from the 1560's built by the Ema clan on the 'suggestion' of Takeda Shingen...

I'm aiming for a very weathered look, something that has seen a few Alpine winters, so not too pristine!

Enjoy

Best wishes,

Snake

That is amazing work! Do you have any in-progress pictures? I would be curious to see how you modelled the roof tiles, for example.

Great work

Any pics of your clan btw?

Welcome and quite a lovely piece of work there

Thank you all for the comments

very much appreciated!

@ WuZhuiQiu: Many thanks, I don't have any in-progress pics, it's something I'm going to have to work on! The roof tiles are basically corrugated card with photo textures of green roof tiles pasted on, then suitably weathered and beaten up... I am a very lazy modeller!

@ pocoloco: I've attached some very bad pics of my Clan, apologies for the quality, there are a few more now than appear here will take some better pics soon (ish) also some of my other pieces a couple of Shinto shrines and a rural Samurai house.

Thank you all,

Best wishes

Snake

Really nice work! That first picture fooled me as well.

Simply divine structures all look very realistic - especially the very first pic - had initially thought that it was a reference shot.
