Small commission for a nice chap on this here very forum :)
The two Chinese buildings I have on my website plus some scratch built walls and a simple gateway. Normal ground work and the buildings were inked with a mix I've made recently because the old GW isn't on sale anymore (the new ones are crap).

Very nice James, I particularly like the painting and highlighting of the roof tiles 8)
-
Lovely work, James, up to your usual high standard.
:-*
Recipe for your replacement inks.....please.
(You are right, nothing compares to those old ones.
:'()

Thanks chaps :)

It's a mix of matte medium, flow improver and some water. The medium and flow improver are in thirds and then there's about a sixth of water and the rest is made up from Vallejo inks, black brown and green (no ratio for the inks, just whatever takes your fancy).
It's not exactly the same but it does the job better than the new ones and the Vallejo one their own.

Excellent work you,ve really captured the feel of the period. I particularly like the way you,ve used the whole tile . Question : is this a cork place mat turned upside down ? as I often use them myself, very well done sir !

Cheers, mate.
Will have to give that a go.
:D

That is great work, as always, James!
Which old GW ink(s) did you used to use?
Finally, the only change that might be worth thinking about making would be to model doors for the gateway.
-
Lovely stuff James. You always make genres that I'm not especially fussed about look like something I desperately need to get into! lol
-
Awesome work!!
-
Thanks again chaps :)

The inks before they released the whole new set a couple of months ago.
I did think about doors but it's primarily a gaming peice and they tend to get in the way.

could you elaborate what paints were used in painting the ground and the figure bases?
-
Lovely stuff!
-
Great at usual James!
-
Someone is a very lucky bunny! :D
-
Very tasty...

-

Looking great, as always,. I am sure you have told us before, but remind me how you do the curved roofs.

With great patience lol
I literally sit there for 15-20mins bending it to the shape easing it ever so gradually as it would snap or fold if done too quick.

Is it resin or hard plastic?
-
Sorry Peder, should have said before. It's Wills plastic sheeting, the pantile one.
cheers
James

Very nice mate, now on to the next! ;D
-
Very nice! Do those beautiful curved roofs come off to allow access to the building interiors?
-
How long does it take you to scratch build a model like that?

'Fraid not.

It depends on what is involved. Not the best answer I know but the most accurate one. This one took about 8-10 hours but it uses buildings from my catalogue.

I have just collected a parcel from the PO!!
I'm just saying [walks off, jumps and clicks heels to the side] :D
-
[rushes back ...]
and it is a thing of beauty!!
Thank you Mr JimBibbly Sir, i'll put it to good use :D
-
No you wont, you'll cart it around and it will get damaged.
Far better to give it to me and I will take proper care of it, I'll give it a loving home where it will fit in properly.
No messing about just bring it round tonight and I'll say no more!!!!
:D

You're a warm and generous human being Bolshy and i won't have a thing said against you ;)
-
Great looking model!!and thanks for the tip on making the curved roof.I've got some wills tile sections but never thought of trying to bend them works pretty good :)
-
Great compound, looks awsome!
What did you use as base?
If you're looking for the old GW washes try the army painter washes. It's more or less the same formula GW used. They only have the brownish colours though.

I have been using them and find that, although the colour is similar, they need a few layers to achieve the same effect and so can build up a little.
I have not used them that much, though, to be fair, and may just need more practice.
-
I really love this build and it inspired me to build my own houses some days ago. :-*
I hope you don't mind if try to "copy" it later this year... ;)
-
VERY nice work! Try Secret Weapon Washes - they have at least 10-15 different colours - available in UK from Bascrafts. Really nice stuff...better than Vallejo's new washes even.
