Oriental Figures and Models

[Vermin King]

Rather than clutter up the Serene Fist thread, I figured I'd better put these in one place.

I'll add more as I find them

[okumarts]

These are great!
I've often really wanted to get a sort of bladerunner/old shanghai cityscape built. Maybe I'll have to release it as a futuristic/cyberpunk expansion to Serene Fist.
Would there be any interest in terrain?

[Adam Souza]

I for one would be interested, especially if you did something unique like Future Nipon

[kiladecus]

Always interested in terrain!

Meiji era shop, which is on the right as you look at their header


When you translate, it says they will be updating the page on February 1st. I hope they will be adding another building from the complex.

This building has a lift-off exterior, so you can view the interior.

Thanks for the link, that's a good looking street.

edit-> From Google translate;
And architectural features of the town of Ise, "his wife into gable" is a townhouse. Headquarters has told its features well. Enter the name of his wife, the same people of Ise Ise, Tadashi us "into a flat" are said to dread in order to spread. Head Office Building Meiji decades. The big sign in front fried Hoei founded four years in gold letters and a red dress. Once through the doors to the goodwill, the stove is painted in red seed, We make a figure unchanged from the time of the Meiji era now.

I just found that also. Very very cool. It'll work for my "chinatown" section of Brimstone I think.

Another boat, Chinese, but not ancient


You can find it at www.kakibogen.de/images/Chinasegler.html

A higher resolution copy can be ordered by email

[Vermin King]

Okay, at least the pagoda is nice ...

I love it ALL!

The second building for the Mochi Emporium and Factory is available from a few posts above.

Akafuku added a drum tower

This sounds cool, but I love your minis and would rather see more minis than terrain.

[Vermin King]

Akafuku (link above) added a roadside lantern



Kinda goes along with the hoard

[Vermin King]

Outlet Mall Towers. They are definitely oriental and look cool.

1/300 scale, but isn't this drum tower gorgeous?

Not sure how the Kawasaki site isn't in here.

Figures are just mirror image on backs, but for extras, they should be fine. I keep wondering if the industrial backdrop could be pieced together to be a longer backdrop. It doesn't necessarily have to be on the water.

[spaceranger42]

I have a texture set for Tokugawa era buildings but I have not looked into turning them into a papercraft model yet.

[old squirmydad]

Actually I'm a fan of the giant harbor shark.

[Vermin King]

There are several other dioramas there, too, but the industrial amalgam would be a perfect backdrop for Slagtown models

[Vermin King]

This was on Ninjatoes' Blog today. It is going to be released in three downloads. First (the tower) is available now.

Sorry for the slight deviation from the topic (I do not want to create a new thread). Do you know any of the figures from Eastern Europe (Russia, etc.) ?

[Vermin King]

Would Tomoko's Steel Warriors material help?

[pavaro]

Thanks for the link. Maybe you know others?

[Vermin King]

Giving this a bump, since folks seem to be interested.

Not even half of these models are Japanese, but enough to warrant posting: hamapaper2.zouri.jp/thumblink2/thumb55.html

And we'll throw this one in for good measure: alombredupommier.blogspot.com/search/label/tatebanko%20%E7%AB%8B%E7%89%88%E5%8F%A4

[squirmydad]

Putting this here for safekeepping; www.black-ronin.com/mountain_village.html

[Vermin King]

Another interesting site, www.nekohigeya.com/index.html

Unfortunately, some of the models that appeal to me most are not ready for download yet.

But there are some very nice ones

[Vermin King]

I'm getting the urge to do something oriental again. Anyone see anything new lately?
