I'd been keeping my eye out for a way to recreate Stupas, which are bell shaped religious monuments, ever since I started my "Southeast Asian" project (Khmers, Malays, Thais, so far). I'd seen inspiring ruins of ones in my visits to Thailand, Myanmar and of course, Angkor Wat, in Cambodia. When I was in Hobby Lobby poring over their shelves for tidbits that could help with camps, I found a line of soft wood items from a company called "Wood Shoppe Turnings." I jumped when I saw a package of "Small Bells." I matched them up with the pack of "Micro Flower Pots" and voila! A Southeast Asian Stupa!
The flower pot and bell were epoxied atop the styrene base, along with some rectangular shaped aquarium gravel to represent tumbled ruins. These were painted black and dry brushed with shades of gray. The market was set up with a crate from RLBPS and a couple urns made from ornamental beads. They were filled with Woodland Scenics "fruit" -- tiny red or orange beads made to look like apples and oranges.
The merchant and his customers are from the excellent Feudal Castings "Oriental Peasants" pack, modified by having clubs snipped out of their hands or their swords trimmed to appear like a scroll. I flocked the base with Woodland Scenics Turf, then another layer of mixed grasses. Finally, I glued clumps of dark or medium green coarser flocking down to represent vegetation overtaking the ruins.
This was a nice, simple camp. I think it would work well for any SE Asian, Indian, or even Chinese army -- heck, even the Mongols got down into SE Asia, so it'd even work for Asiatic steppe armies.
(The market place was actually at The Soldiery, as this was one of the six camps I sold -- this one for $25 to Dave Zecchini -- at our February Gods of War meeting).
