A new range under development and here is the first one with a coat of primer  :)




Suitable from the Boshin war right up till the second world war at a push. Most of the buildings will only be suitable for the latter half of the 19th cen.

I've got another one on the go being stuck together so hopefully more before the weekend  :)

cheers

James

Looks good. As you say it also looks pretty useable for other locations. Your stuff always looks so crisply detailed!

Got some paint on the first one and rather pleased with the result  :)

For the kit the door will be cast from either resin or metal and the roof tiles will be stuck ontom the roof plate all ready to go. I haven't got enough tile sheet to do the roof at the moment but that will change at the weekend.





The shop that was mentioned has had to have some tweaks made to it so that'll be posted at a later date (end of the weekend hopefully).

cheers

That looks excellent. Very tempting.  :-*

Did you see the Rurouni Kenshin movie by chance? It's based on a manga, so not very realistic (at all), but it's set in early Meji period, so may offer some inspiration here and there (mostly in the first half, when we see more of the setting).
