15mm Later Kofun and Asuka Camp

[Texus Maximus]

This camp is for the Later Kofun and Asuka Japanese (501 AD to 645 AD) army list. The inspiration is this reconstruction of a Kofun-era warehouse:



I had this model of a Japanese house from Hovels that had the right roof, so I used a Dremel tool with a sanding wheel to strip away all the exterior detail. It only took about 10 minutes; the sanding wheel was highly effective.





I cut supports, steps, and a door frame out of balsa and glued them in place.

The wooden slats on the sides were painted on over a black undercoat.









The final product:









Overall it looks pretty crude, but I am counting on the figures posed in front to draw the eye. I may go back and re-do the black horizontal line that has been obscured in places by over-zealous drybrushing and maybe add some beams in the corners to make them look less rounded/irregular.



Here are a few shots of how the camp will look on the game board.

I added columns in the corners and cleaned up the planking by re-doing the black lines. I think it looks better.

A very inspiring camp Paul. Great repurposing of an older resin model. The figures provide a great narrative.

Cheers,
