BSC2023: Tomrommel Yen Tu Pagoda
« on: January 26, 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!

Nice! I will be interested how you will address the roof.

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
