BSC2023: Tomrommel Yen Tu Pagoda
« on: 26 January 2023, 07:11:08 AM »
I will try to build something like the Yen Tu Pagoda . It won#t be a complete look alike more like inspiration. It is a Pagoda on a mountaintop in Vietnam.

Sounds interesting. Plenty of potential to make the surrounding scenery add some great flavour to it as well!

That photo kind of reminds me of the temple in the movie 2012 - where the lonely monk starts to pound the bell/gong (been a while since I watched) as the impossibly giant waves crest the Himalayas.  Fun movie but highly improbable - but such is the nature of movie making.

That should be fun and real back and beyond - keen to see flowers, bells, and orange.

Yes, the roof is the challange with this little project. I will do the hilltop and the Pagoda as two pieces. This way I can use the hilltop as a possible firebase for my 105mm howitzers I just got from Rubicon. So at least the hill serves two purposes gaming wise.

Snap - I have a very different project and a very different theme (without mountains), with a removable top for alternative use too  :D

Sorry for havig them rotated 90 °. I don't know how that happened. On my computer they are the right way up. I splitt the hill in two parts for better storage. More to come
