Special Rule: Shrine make models within 4" + 1" per Crew member immune to Morale failure.
Construction process for a movable but shrine looking thing.
Research on existing 28mm japanese oriented shrine models, then on historical and current Japanese shrines.
It soon became obvious it had to be the roofed pillars carried by a crew, rather than a chart I wanted to create.
As some sort of distinguishable from other shrines out there, I wanted to add a Shimenawa[1] somehow and I quickly decided on Dōtaku bells above vestern church bells, gongs or horns. As the hoarse stumped clacking of those would be a good background sound for the crews rite-chants (background theme).
At first the plan was to have x bearers extending out at the sides from the 4 side towers. But that was not smart base- and rank-wise. So, I turned it 90 degrees and had the carrying pole going along the model, with room som someone inbetween sidetowers -also limited it to 4-8 bearers.
ToDo; Create a base with crew footprints making assembling easier. Alter the amount on main pillar bottom studs, slice roofing rolls into 3-4 pipes and taper, add balls to sideleg-roofing deco-tops, add some sort of deco to the four outermost roofing roll tops/ropeholding-plank ends. Print. Paint. Redo process.
Fixed the Shrine; Hollowed and enlarged the bells. Lowered cornerpillar bottom studs from to 3 and centre pillar bottom studs studs to, 10 and enlarged so they are easier to paint. Added deco-rings to handle-holes and made it so shrine can be carried w. bells for-/backward or sideways. Fixed a main-straw error on a bearers hat. Added ball deco to 4 roof-rope-holding corners. Retiled the roof. Added rpelige bearer poles with dolphins.
Time to print & paint...
