The Rice Mill

Well Blogger is being Blogger again and my post of Friday hasn’t appeared on any blog rolls, so here’s hoping that this one does!

Painting of the Japanese buildings continues and with all of the smaller pieces finished I have started working on the three buildings that are on the queue. The first of these is the Rice Mill. 

This is a really nice printed model, with only a few parts to assemble.










The roof is removable and the interior is fully presented.

  2. Wow - that is a stunner Mark - and I do know that the castle is going to be even better, when you do it! This 3d Samurai terrain has all been outstanding.

    1. They are beautiful pieces. I have dry assembled the castle and it is indeed incredible. I should be woking on this in a week or two.

    1. Thank Aly, and the PLA plastics take the paint really nicely. I like working with wood tones and there are about six tones to get the depth I wanted.

  7. These are lovely little models and beautifully painted as usual. How did you find the interiors to do? The detail always seem like a nice touch until you have to paint them.

    1. I have started the Geisha house and it is going to bs a challenge as there is a LOT of interior detail that is going to be difficult to get a brush to.

  9. Beautifully done there Mark:)! Yep, your previous post only showed up after this one was published, and about 24 hours or more after posting. Sadly yours is still not the only Blog afflicted in this way:(.

    1. Thanks Steve, they are great print to work with. The post turned up quicker than 24 hours for me, but overnight nonetheless. Its annoying, but it is what it is...it's a free service after all.

  10. Hi Mark,

    Splendid work on the Rice Mill! The wood tones look fantastic, and having a detailed interior with a removable roof adds so much tabletop practicality. Can’t wait to see the Geisha House and the castle when you get to them!

    All the best, Andy
