BSC2023: Overlords Chinese Ancestral Hall/Small Temple

[Overlord]

A chinese ancestral hall or small temple for use in my Back of Beyond games.

Pic to give an idea, but mine is intended to be simpler and smaller:


Traditional scratch-build in a mix of materials.
Roof is probably the biggest challenge of the build, but I have a cunning plan...

Hopefully this will encourage me to complete my other chinese buildings (from Oshiro), sat unfinished in a box for the past few years 

[Daeothar]

Especially the roof seems pretty ambitious, but very cool; curious to see where you'll take this

[OSHIROmodels]

Yeah, get them buildings finished 

[has.been]

Good luck with this.

[snitcythedog]

Will be watching this one. 

[Vanvlak]

Will be watching this one.

Ditto - very ambitious. 

[aircav]

 This ought to be good

I am really looking forward to this build. I am interested how you will address the roof.

[AKULA]

Look forward to this one…could be another masterclass in the maeking

 

[Overlord]

Thanks all for the encouragement.

I know.... 

I've made plans for what I have in mind, which I don't often do.  The complex roof means I need to have a better idea what I'm doing early on.  Subject to change and adjustment as I go along. (already I may lower the wall height a bit)





First part to build will be the base; Mostly foamed PVC for strength and so I can emboss a tiled floor.

Nice practical looking plan that looks like it can be built within the confines of the contest. Good luck!

[Vanvlak]

Grand!

[Mick_in_Switzerland]

This looks very interesting - I shall follow with interest.

I always enjoy your builds Paul and this is certainly the most ‘planning’ I remember (did even the 007 set have such a well drawn plan?)

I am looking forward for this building process especially the roof looks very interesting.
