Here I am bearing photos. I have to be honest... I was tempted to just keep the temple and pretend I've never seen it :D, but it was actually real life getting in the way. I am really sorry for the delay.

As mentioned, the Temple and its surroundings were the stage for the latest of Corto's adventures. That day it was full of evil brigands and guarded by the Baroness' lackies!



Here are some better shots of this large building. The sikh has wandered into the shot for scale purposes.





Anyway, our Uncle Jörg is a lucky bugger for owning this beauty!

Is it my imagination and/or eyesight, but do those buildings in the pictures of your wife's village have flat tiled roofs. Or is it wooden slats? I'm interested because I want to build some Chinese buildings and different styles of roofs would look nice. Actually my goal is to produce a variety of buildings for pulp era games set in the Pacific. Nothing too specific, but buildings like a customs house, trader's post, warehouses, and simple residences. I might even do a small company building with a warehouse attached.

The next one was finished yesterday.
Dimi's pics are better, but there was no time left to give it to him.  :?

Not a chinese building but a build this time.

After our con last weekend I'm in the mood for building again. The last days before the event were very stressfull for my brother and me as we tried finish our table for the show, but now I can go back to normal speed and enjoy it again!

Well, after we played some nice games and also had a nice china-based game on the large table I decided that we would need some bits for a small harbour and one of those characteristic arches on the way.

I started with a small sampan that will fit the chinese river pirates I bought from Foundry on Crisis.
Started yesterday afternoon, finished it (except painting of course) last night! ;D







I also prepared a second, slightly smaller one...  ;)
