Tantrapur is a fictional town located in India's Northwest Frontier province. Its fame comes from the movie "Gung Din", where the British first learn of the resurgent Thugee cult. Since I built the Thug temple, I thought I should also represent the town where they were discovered. These buildings are mostly conjecture on my part, so far as size goes, though I have referenced several shots from the movie and images from the digital recreation found in Justin Scarred's "Original TEMPLE of DOOM Rediscovered! The LOST sets of Gunga Din" video. So, without further ado, here is what I have done so far.
The first 4 shots show my version of the government office building. The building has a removable roof, with the porch awning, cupola dome, window treatments and doors being separate components. The pictures on the walls and rugs on the floor are from images found online, printed on plain paper, then decoupaged to the model.
The last two images are from the movie and from Justin Scarred's 3D rendering, so that you can see what I am working from.
This building is the officers' quarters for the men who worked in the above building. It sets next door to the office. This building uses the same windows and doors as on the office and the interior decorations were applied in the same manner as in the office.
This building I am calling the Governor's Residence. It is not a particularly grand affair with a living room in front, a dining room in back, and an office and bedroom in the middle. It does have parquet floors and wallpaper to give it an air of opulence.
I noticed that in Justin's layout this building seems to change locations. In the upper image it appears to be on the opposite side of the road from the Government office. In the second image, it is on the same side of the road as the Government office. I will place it in the location shown in the second image.
These buildings are being made available for free to subscribers to the 4P Press Games and Models web page. I hope that you will join us at 4P Press and that you enjoy these models and all the offerings that we have.
Thank you for visiting and happy gaming!
