anyone have a model of a Hindu temple?

I'm embarking on a small project of a Hindu-styled temple for 28mm, just wondering if anyone's done something of the sort or has a direction to point me in for game friendly pics.  Thanks, in advance!!

Not actually help, but I thought I'd ask what you have in mind.

Exterior, perhaps a small version for table center?

Interior wall plan? Ruins, maybe with free standing carved pillars?

Hi, here are some links to some wargame temples I like.

I don't have any links, but I believe that some of the fishtank scenery folks make some very nice ruined Hindu temples...

Cor that'd be a job. Most of the Hindu temples I've seen in India tend to look like this on the outside;



Is that the look you're going for?

Yankeepedlar has a really awesome little shrine here

Thanks a bunch!  In answer to the first, more of a centerpiece with a 10-12 inch footprint.  Some interior detail, not too much in the way of idols or major detail as it is for a game around 5-7 of May!  Maybe a three-tiered structure based atop an archway of sorts which could lead into a courtyard.  Oh, and 28mm.
Oh man, I think I'll have to build one like Chicago Terrain Factory's version!!!  It won't happen in a couple of weeks, though
Yankee Peddler's was a wee smaller than I was looking, but thanks!
Thanks 6milphil, my one year old would be the happiest boy in all the land if he could get his chubby hands on that one!

Agreed on the fish tank pieces, very nice and sometimes quite reasonable given the level of detail and paint job.  All the ones I've found are usually ruins, I'm looking for ideas on a more intact structure.  I know I was a bit vague in my initial question!  Thank you!!

You mean one of these ruins with frescos of heathens fornicat'n all over the wall? Now, *that* would indeed be a piece of resistance, as the French say...

  Yeh, not really goin' for that "guess we're not in Kansas anymore" feel to it... just a li'l  ol' place where good folk go to talk about the hereafter and maybe set up a firing line or two while they're at it!

Some years ago, I picked up a book titled "Balinese Temples" from a Kuta, Bali, bookstore/department store. Published by Periplus, authors Julian Davison and Bruce Granquist. Explains the layout of the Balinese Hindu temples, courtyards and alignment to the cardinal/compass points.

Thank you!  Sounds like and excellent resource, I shall look it up!

Very late to the party, but I've got a crumbly plaster souvenir from Angkor Wat; very shoddy plaster, but after about twelve coats of PVA it stabilised, and now it serves pretty well as an Indian temple.
