Chinese and other SE Asian buildings?
« on: April 09, 2010, 07:29:54 AM »
Can someone point me to a manufacturer of chinese buildings, and other stuff suitable for a 'China Station' pulp setting? (Like the one on Pulp Figures' web site)

Very thin on the ground are these.

Curteys & Redoubt do some but not to my taste. Japanese are more abundant if you are not picky. JJD were really nice but are OOP and JimBibbly does some very nice ones http://www.oshiromodelterrain.co.uk/

I hope there are some good suggestions to this thread as it is something I am always on the look out for myself.

There is always scratchbuilding of course, I have some underway at present but they are a long way from being finished.

Cheers.

I hope Pontonnier is going to have their web site up, soon. At those prices I like to see the stuff before ordering.

Which reminds me, that I have a few other pending projects to work on, first, so I can save up a bit for an order.

Hi Niels,

Nice to have you around again. :)

Monolith Designs have some very nice Chinese buildings, with a variety of designs and different roof materials (thatch, tiles etc) and a temple.

There are some pics in this game report of some of the Monolith stuff:

(The only issue being the complaints from people about never receiving their orders from them.)

The Lady is Perry Miniatures from the collection of Jimbibbly.

 (However her lord and master does not refer to her as a lady since her liasons with the British officer in said photograph. In fact the incident in question sparked the Sino/Anglo war of 1885...) ;)

Prof had a nice resin temple he was using for Tibet I think, from Stronghold. They sadly don't seem to be trading at the moment.

I need a large building of some sort, and I think the wooden one would be nice - especially with some modification to allow for removal of roofs...

A 'maison de tolerance' for Mama Sung's (a.k.a. the Dragon Woman) girls to entertain foreign devils - little known to them, the complex also houses an assassin clan (maybe the girls ARE the assassins...?)

I am reviving this because I just now wanted to find a large building complex I am sure I saw back when this thread was alive the last time (yes, I am a slow starter, but recently began painting the proprietor and purchased some employees for the establishment).

It was a building made of plywood or something similar 'woodish' stuff, with alot of rooms along the outer walls and an open yard in the middle.

I fear that it was from this place, which has sadly disappeared from the web:

Dear Argonor,

If somebody has an idea of what I am ranting about, and maybe knows of another, similar building out there, somewhere, please let me know! Otherwise I shall have to scratchbuild one, and we all know how long THAT will take me...  ::)

[edit] Oops. Rookie mistake. Didn't read the whole thread until after I posted. Now I have and I realise my post isn't really appropiate so deleted.
