Ronin

It isn't often I'm shocked but I've just built a building I've had since 2017. I'm not sure why it took so long. 

With this model I thought it important to add some colour. It's an important building. A place for staging plays and perhaps music also.

I based it a little on the Noh stages I looked up. Though it is to a different configuration, over all the basic stage looks the same design.

Luckily, I kept a piece that filled the front of the stage. I used it for the backdrop. Normally these are plain wood colour with a Japanese pine tree. Because the wood colour I used was somewhat darker than typically used I painted it a green for a pasture/hills and blue for some sky.

The other buildings are from 4ground which don't seem to be available any longer.

I added all the figures I have to the scene so there are a lot of Ronin, Samurai and villagers. The village itself looks large with the new building. Yes, I know I need a temple and, and, and .......

I hope you like the scene.

This is why on leadadventureforum I'm looking for suitable figures to set the scene with musicians and performers.

This is why I don't buy a lot of items at wargames shows!

I flit from one thing to another as the fancy takes me and paint figures as they come. Having said that, I haven't quite finished the Austrians for Blücher there being about 75 left.

But I am painting the four female cultists from crooked-dice !

And I'm backing badsquiddogames and crooked-dice on Kickstarter. I'm not going all in as I don't think I need THAT many figures because I really want a miller, baker and fishmonger for Witchin' Hour and the figures for the stage above.

Thank you for dropping by to take a look
