Odd Ducks build thread Chinese waterfront

[odd duck]

Ok I'm planning a chinese waterfront the major elements will be a stone pier and a small warehouse, a connecting canal crossed by a Moon Bridge and a floating shantytown with a few other boats and buildings thrown in if time permits. I'm off to a good start with the moon bridge nearing completion after two days work and I've started the warehouse here are some shots of the bridge and the wooden chinese fan that provided the latticework

I am going to remember that fan idea. That is a good one.

Very nice - Great bit of innovation with the fan. Well done!!

Can't wait to see the finished product.

I may just have to steal you fan idea for doing some chinise buildings of my own. Don't worry not for this contest, at least not this time.

[Tsune]

I think I am also going to steal your idea of the fan for my buildings... brilliant idea!

And your project looks promising.

[sukhe_bator]

I've been looking for a source of decorative pierced lattice work for some time now - the fan idea is a brilliant one! Well done sir!

[gamer Mac]

Well the same as everyone above, I am going to steal that idea as well. (Now where to get a fan?)
Great work, the bridge looks great
Really looking forward to seeing what you do with the rest of your idea.

[Hammers]

I've been looking for fretwork sources to. I should raid the dollarstores (well, 10 SEK) to.

[Dewbakuk]

Very clever. I expect next year to see plenty of chinese fretwork buildings from everyone

[fastolfrus]

I've been working on a (very slow build) Boxer project for a while (about 20 years ? Only 2 buildings done so far, but do have hundreds of Chinese plus international forces for all the Peking legations and half the relief column), but the fretwork fan might just spur me into producing a 3rd building at least....
