Title: Samurai Salute 2013 **18.04.13 Final layout (finally)**
Post by: OSHIROmodels on March 15, 2013, 10:18:14 PM: Left this a bit late for a thread leading up to the big day but I've had more than my fair share on my plate :(

Anyway, on to some pictures :)

I've recently finished three more building bases for my samurai demo game at Salute this year and I must admit I'm quite pleased with them. There are still a couple of details to go on, such as benches and stalls but they are pretty much there.

(http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk138/jimbibbly/SALUTE%202013/860B42EC-5FC7-4308-BC9C-A4E1EE6F4E76-7681-000008F2E42850EF_zps98bf3591.jpg)

The layout will be similar to last year but with the addition of six foot of castle wall on the back edge :)

I'll be borrowing some bases from a good friend (I made them for him a while back) and I have some others that I've kept. As the weeks count down I'll be posting more sections of the table itself so I can get an idea of how best to lay them all out (with the able assistance of my lovely wife).

Watch this space :D

cheers

James

We will be at table GA22 in the same sort of place as last year. When you come in through the front entrance we are on the far left hand side.

I'll get some more out and maybe some boards this afternoon :)

cheers

If so, it looks like all 3 of us will be there.

Post by: Elk101 on March 17, 2013, 07:39:44 PM: Wow! That's a quality set up; really nice. Yet another table I won't be seeing at Salute :'(
I was all set to go this year till I worked out that the round trip would be 12 train/bus/underground trips over 9 hours for £120 (that's with a cheap main ticket). Get loads of photos guys!

Post by: discok3 on March 17, 2013, 08:07:17 PM: Top of the Wargames Tree as always James..gorgeous buildings with exquisite detail for the platinum polish.
Are you aware of the new Samurai skirmish rules called Ronin coming out in August from our friends at Osprey?..your stuff will sell in droves as a result I reckon and I intend to put a large order in over the summer.
These rules will be set in C16th and I was wondering if Japanese architecture was largely similar through the Gempei War and upto the C16th?
Cheers

Certain elements can be used throughout such as pagodas/temples and the like and also more rural buildings but like most areas in the world, a period of several hundred years can show substantial change.

Unfortunately there isn't a lot on Gempei period architecture at the moment but that does seem to be changing in Japan as the era is getting more attention. Hopefully in the coming months I'll be able to start an earlier period range, I've already got plans for an Edo period set of buildings :)

Title: Re: Salute 2013 **18.03.13 Another building base**
Post by: pocoloco on March 18, 2013, 04:26:18 PM: How on Earth have I missed this ? Wonderful buildings, hope to see lots pics from the build and Salute as well. Are you guys going to dress up as samurais for running the game? :)
Title: Re: Salute 2013 **18.03.13 Another building base**
Post by: OSHIROmodels on March 18, 2013, 09:01:17 PM: @Kev, they aren't unfortunately but the are hollow underneath. With the style of game that we play removable roofs aren't necessary.

@Whill4, they are pretty much all based on 3mm acrylic (any scap that's going at work I get my grubby little mits on :D )

@Pocolco, certainly not ;D although I'm not running it, I'll be on my stall. If the chaps running it decide to dress up, more fool them lol

As promised I've got a couple of slightly blurry phone pictures of the start of the main castle wall, I'm hoping to get it complete by the weekend :o

I've also take a couple of shots of the new building bases in situ (but not the whole board size as our lounge won't take it all lol ).

(http://i1083.photobucket.com/albums/j384/pocolocopocoloco/lolsamurai2_zps81ea7e97.jpg)

The table looks amazing! I guess no samurai costumes are really needed then ;) Lucky buggers all those who get to see that irl.

The top wood/white section of the wall will be cast to make life a whole lot easier as all the tile rows have been applied individually; that's approximately 480-500 Seperate bits for 600mm of wall length and as much as I enjoyed it I'm not doing it again lol

More to follow after the bank holiday.

It's a pity that they don't have a removable roof, since I want some lovely indoor fighting (which is impossible considering the small houses and the massive bases).
My poor attempts yesterday for a small cottage seems even poorer lol

Good luck at Salute!

Why are you not going???
Title: Re: Samurai Salute 2013 **18.04.13 Final layout (finally)**
Post by: Cholly on April 19, 2013, 10:07:15 AM: I had planned to come but unfortunately I have a funeral to go to tomorrow for my partners Uncle who passed away 2 weeks ago. A real shame as he was a lovely bloke but he had been suffering from cancer for a long time and had been in an extreme amount of pain so it was a blessing in some ways. Anyhoo, less of this depressing talk, it would have been a good chance to
A: See some seriously good miniatures and scenery
B: Meet some of the people from LAF and put faces to names
C:Spend some of my hard earned (but unfortunately small in amounts) cash
I'll have to wait for the next one but hope all goes well for everyone from here trading, displaying or just going along for the fun.

Post by: Mason on April 19, 2013, 07:43:05 PM: Cholly: My condolences, mate.
Some things are much more important than toy soldiers.
Hope all goes as well as it possibly can given the circumstances.

Have got to say that I was stunned it didn't win "Best Scenery"....

Post by: Kingscarbine on April 22, 2013, 02:44:51 PM: Absolutely superb table. I stood there a couple of times admiring the details. It's just the sort of stuff one just wants to take home but doesn't have the space.

Everything is put away now (took over a bloody week to do it ::) ).

I will be posting some photos I took on my blog and will link here when done so, just for completeness' sake

Many thanks for the kind words Aly, I know that you've played on a lot of Dave's terrain so this is a real complement for me 8)

I'm not, it comes out every year in a slightly different form but it's the finishing details that make games win the prize. I need more (if not some) flyers and posters etc and also a cloth to cover the table and make it look nice. There are a few other details that other games had that put them more in the running then myself :)

cheers
