KentG - Terrain, Feudal Japanese period terrain (60 points)

 I’ve been planning my Feudal Japanese project for a couple of years now, 
I ordered ten buildings plus a bunch of the bits, only a small amount has arrived
so I thought let’s crack on into them.
I’m not used to painting buildings and to paint the panels two layers each was a real challenge 
But I’m super happy with the final outcome, this is my first attempt at painting 3D 
Printed buildings, it’s amazing what can be achieved.

First up is a fountain which I added some Vallejo water not
Width  90 round  70 Height  



Shrine Gate, Torii Gate, please excuse not re had to paint the red 4 times 
To get it to cover fully, the funny thing is it’s the bamboo I really like about this 
Piece of terrain 
Width. 100 Length 80 Height 90

First of the buildings had so much fun painting all three with another 7 still
To do
Width 100 length 130 height 110


I wanted this one to look a little older so changed the colour of the wood
and put a wash over the paint to dirty it up a bit

Width 130 length 130 height 90




final this has to be one of the favorite so far a very cool piece for the table
added water to the wee pond bowl but this time added some blue wash to the bottom first
painting the inner panels was extremely hard but the more i did the happy i was with them.

tried to do 4 different colored woods

Wow, what a great first terrain submission to look at and judge!  Awesome work overall Kent!  I really like all the different tans and browns that you used to give everything a similar but different look from one building to the next.  All the little details make these buildings spring to life and I am sure everyone out there will agree that they would love them on their game table.

You also did a great job on just painting them, and by the looks of it NOT trying to drybrush details on, as that makes the layer lines show up on 3d prints.  With prints its generally better to just get colours down like you did. 

As for points I am going to go with the fountain and the gate as each being about the same work as a figure so 5 points each, while the buildings are obviously a ton of work and detail,  I am going to say that each one would likely take me at least 6 hours and score them at 15 points each and then throw another 5 bonus points your way as I think these are excellent examples of terrain! That gives you a grand total of 60 points and a big congratulations for some great terrain for your table!

  6. Great looking terrain Kent.
    You mentioned that you have more buildings to come. Traditionally a lot of the wood used in Japanese construction is a charred black colour. By charring the wood, it protects it from insects, rot, weather and fire, all big issues in Japan.
