Believe it or not, I'm planning to get these three Blue Moon Boxer Rebellion buildings for my adventures with my 15mm Firefly/Serenity crew:
TMP link QUESTIONS - My first question to you is, are there other historical or fantasy gaming buildings that mix East/West features in a similar manner, but that SF and other gamers could make use of? For example, didn't someone use to make urban houses and shops for Vietnam? Or perhaps they still do? Or could you direct me to good photos or sketches of real buildings you have seen (houses and shops) that show such a colorful mix, and that could be scratch-built without too much work? My other option is to have alternate signs (with an Oriental flair) for what would otherwise be regular Old West town buildings:
Thoughts? Thanks, Dan

You could add Asian detail to lots of buildings to make them East/West. Doors, railings, lanterns, trim signs, that kind of thing. That and color goes a long way too. |

Khurasan has that egg noodle shop…kiosk Game craft miniatures has those alien houses and catwalks that have an Asian flare to them. |

Dan its Timecast you are after. link |

Wow! With all the reshuffling between boards, I lost the thread completely. I actually thought the topic had been deleted by the Editor for some reason. It wasn't in the Scratchbuilding or the 19th Century boards (where the other Boxer Rebellion "European" buildings were being announced). Glad to see it's still around. Excellent ideas guys! I just ordered some tiny corrugated beads that I hope to turn into lanterns. And Timecast may be the Vietnam company I saw a while back, though I imagined a completely different front to one of those buildings. Thanks so much. Dan
PS. If I were to scratchbuild something like this Boxer Rebellion market piece here, what would you use as a low-to-the-ground basing material? Vinyl flooring tile?

Vinyl floor tile is probably the cheapest option. You can get ~1.5mm sheet styrene by buying "for sale" signs, but the vinyl is probably going to be more durable. |

Lion, Thanks. I wanted to keep relief to a minimum, but I also didn't want to risk warping. Dan |

That Boxer Rebellion terrain is outstanding! |

Lol… may favourite pic form Cacique Caribe's blog:
Who among us has not been there before? |
| Cacique Caribe | 12 Jun 2017 12:25 p.m. PST |
LOL. What? Is that supposed to be me? Is that my house? Are those my figures and my books? Don't think so. :) Dan
PS. Do I have a blog? |
| Codsticker | 12 Jun 2017 1:59 p.m. PST |
Well, it's from the link in your post. |
| Cacique Caribe | 12 Jun 2017 5:42 p.m. PST |
Lol. Yes but that wasn't my blog. :) Dan
PS. I wish that it was my blog. The terrain alone is fantastic. |
