BSC 2018 Elk101's Bochi - please could this be moved to the Far East board?

[Elk101]

I have a plan. It's something to support my new range (and only new range) for 2018. It's not innovative or clever, just a piece of scenery with a little narrative for the theme. I'm definitely not looking to win anything or even improve on my previous best of fourth place (twice, I think).

[Elk101]

My current thinking is to build a small rural Japanese  graveyard suitable for use in games of Ronin. The 'ill advised' element will come in the form of a samurai at the entrance to the cemetery and the Supernatural presence that will be visible inside. He would be ill advised to enter.

Edit: I've called it a bochi but I'm not really sure that's the correct term. Please feel free to correct me!

[Elk101]

Massively late in starting due to other things, but the general build is underway.

Ooh, I'm a big Ronin player so keen to see where this goes - nothing looks better on a wargames table than Japanese scenery.

[Elk101]

Thank you. I've been tempted by a Sengoku skirmish setting for a while so this will be my new range for the year. I'm intending on keeping it at less than 50 figures and perhaps a small village.

Looks very promising

Looking good so far, mate.
Nice etching of the foam, much better for your sanity than ikkal bikkal individual bricks, I reckon.

I said that about Strange Aeons.....

[Elk101]

Thanks again. I'm hopeful that I'll maintain it as a low mini count excursion, primarily based on the fact that I think I may look to expand an existing collection this year too.

Dude! Fantastic looking stonework on your base, and glad to see another Japanese themed entry 

[Vanvlak]

You may have started slightly late-ish, but you've already more work in it than I have in mine, and it looks good already 

[Andym]

Great start mate!

[Elk101]

Never a patch on your stuff mate, but I appreciate the comments!

[Malamute]

Looking good so far.   

[Elk101]

Thank you good sir.

A bit more tonight; front and rear shots. I'll probably sand the edge of the base to take the squareness off. I shouldn't have put the clay over the top yet as I've ordered some of those lovely Oshiro Model Terrain grave markers to cover some of the allowed purchases.
