Bonsho bell tower

For friends of the Feudal Japan era I have started working on a bell tower.

I have made a modified version of the foundation set I made for the Asian Tower and a quick prototype for the framework to get the dimensions right.



Here I am reusing the Samurai Castle tower roof, but I will make a new one.



I have also started working on the bell. There will a simple cylinder version, as you don't see that much once under the roof but I also improved my texture mapping skills in Blender to make an advanced version. The details are not finished but it's a good start.

For the roof I am going for a simpler wooden roof. Imagine a small mountain temple...



Now I need to turn the fragile prototypes into more sturdy construction!
