Very sharp, and crisp.

Excellent roof - looks the business. Your own manufacture I presume.

That's looking great, looking forward to your Boshin War report. Will you be using Sharp Practice?

[OSHIROmodels]

Thanks chaps

They certainly took long enough

It is and I think I'll be putting the sheets up on the website once I've got enough stock.

[rokurota]

That's looking great, we want pictures!
By the way, we could to see Shinsengumi?

[OSHIROmodels]

Got the building done. It look very European but many of the newer builds of the period were. For some of them it was jst the roof that would distinguish them from the 'originals'.





And here is a picture of the door before it got paitd to show that I do occasionally do things the traditional way 


Battle is on Thursday and the report will probably be done the following weekend.

They are primed so who knows 

[Silent Invader]

Lovely, James  Very interesting too.

Yeah, it is (to ignorant me) European in appearance. When I casually glanced at the first post on it I actually read Hakodate as Harrogate .....

Really nice James! I have seen that that board (fascia?) below the eave line in Pre-WWII Japanese architecture in the Pacific (nanyo). It seems sort of a signature. Do you have any insight/ words of wisdom that you can pass on about this for us working in this region?

your collection is growing nicely and all looks very impressive!

[OSHIROmodels]

Thanks gents

Not much I'm afraid Lon. As far as I can gather it's purely decorational although there might be a connection with the eaves of early buildings extending quite a way over the walls for store buildings as Japan can have quite heavy rain in it's monsoon season.

cheers

Looks great 😍😍, shall put it on the list for commissioning

[Vagabond]

Very nice - I like the way you have distressed in small areas under the eves and round the windows, a good example of less is more.

Cheers
