Got some long waiting terrain 99% finished.

A small shop/store house. Still got the rear door to do, add merchandise and probably paint the shoji screen.







You'll have to excuse the cramped pictures as I've finished this off at my folks whilst on a bank holiday break 

cheers

Jim this is, as always, top shelf.

I have a question, however, as my mind seems to work somewhat differently than yours:

Your builds are very tidy, do you ever consider making (or modding) your building to a more crooked, organic appearance? Like busting up a straight corner of a building or making them look in a need of some repair?

[rokurota]

Very nice work!

[Svennn]

That is very very nice

Thanks for the comments chaps

It's a good question. The actual building that this one is modelled on is still in good condition and would've been 'perfect' when built as are most of the Japanese building I do.

I suppose for most other buildings there are three main reasons, first is it's easier for me and the laser to produce square edged buildings, secondly it depends on the material (usually acrylic) and thirdly it's the architectural modeller in me  

The Spanish buildings I made recently are all wonky as I made them completely from scratch.

The thing to remember is that most buildings for the periods I make are from that period and would be fairly newly built (that's my excuse anyway   ).

Totally get this (that's why I am strangely drawn to DeafNala's builds). Lovely stuff, as always. And nicely painted too.

Check.

[olyreed]

Just a quick question, what minis would you use for the British navy of this period?

[OSHIROmodels]

I've bought some of the Copplestone naval brigade. The weapons are a bit out but they are lovely sculpts. There's also the Perry Sudan naval brigade but they're a bit out as well. Depends on how accurate you want them.

cheers
