Major Project:Japanese Village
I have started work on my first Major Project. I am building a japanese village. I am first building all of the different buildings. Then I will build the terrain, then put the two together.
Here is what I have at this point.
My Pagoda

My Barracks

My Armour Shrine

And My Emperor, Shao

As you can tell, this project will take a long time, but hopefully it will be worthwhile when done!
Please share questions/comments

I really like them, especially the barracks. I can wait to see the whole village.
Instead of having the sword loose on the armor shrine, try making something to hold it up

They're all nice, but I think you need to research more on how Japanese buildings look like and you should build one of those sword stands for the Armor Shrine.
You know, 2 swords displayed on top of the other. All you need is:
2- black 1x4 plates
4- black 1x1 tile w/ top clip
2- black 1x1 bricks
2- black 1x1 plates
2- black 1x2 plates

Here is a Japanese Pagoda:

But I think you'll need a *few* more bricks to make it this large.

Hey Barbapple,
Those are looking good, it has the feel of being asiatic without needing to be completely historically accurate. I like the barracks and the armor shrine. The fire pots look kind of strange on the pagoda and the roof looks like it needs a bit of work, but the doors are fantastic. Keep working on it and I'm sure your project will turn out great.

After a long absence, I have returned. I can't wait to start building again.

Keith Goldman who usualy dabbles in .space made a wonderful japanese fishing village a couple of years ago. It's not on brinkshelf, but mocpages dot com I think. you should do a search, see what he did, and up the ante! Looking very good so far, can't wait to see the finished product!

Looks cool. I've got several of the ninja sets and have always wanted to do some ninja themed story, so I'll be interested to see how your project develops.
There are some great asian-themed projects out there. For inspiration, check out http://news.lugnet.com/castle/ninja/ and just click back through the archives. That sub-group gets very little traffic, so basically the only threads are when someone posts a new creation and people respond, so it is easy to find the MOCs.
For starters, be sure to check out K. K. Quah:
