Started with the main structure – Itsukushima shrine does not just have clean cut planks, so I tried to make a more organic shape to replicate it I then made the extra supports as a straight cylinder and added a box on top. I used the extrude tool to create the overhanging top, then used multi-cut to create edge loops. Selecting the edge loop using “edge” from the right click menu I shaped the box with a pagoda design. This may be the one area I differ from the source material as Itsukushima’s supports have a flatter top whereas I put a more concave curve onto mine When I was finished making one support I lined it up with the main structure, added a bar to connect it (used extrude to show there was an overhanging plan...
