Nice stuff, but a bit more than I want to spend - I think I am going to follow my plan of upscaling the compound I purchased.

This is a topic that I'm getting into myself. Played a Bob Murch game with his China Station once. Some of the best gaming terrain I've ever seen. Have been searching for weeks for Chinese and SE Asian buildings, and I'm surprised by the lack of commercially available models. By contrast there's quite a bit for Japan. Will be able to adapt/convert a few Japanese buildings. And the Knights of Dice Chinatown and Sarissa SE Asian buildings will come in handy. But it looks like there is some scratch building in the future. Fortunately there are a images online to help understand the architecture.

Once Chinese and SE Asian towns are built, it will be a struggle to populate them, as there are so few 28mm miniatures of Chinese and SE Asian villagers and townspeople. I've found only a handful of Tsuba, Black Hat, and Pulp Figures (mostly out of production) Chinese, and a few Vietnamese villagers in Vietnam War ranges.

WE (Knights of Dice) are releasing these Malaysian style shophouses in the near future. There are three regular variants and 2 sci-fi variants on the way

If you decide to do something like this in 28 mm, let me know!

I'd rather buy a proper laser-cut model than set about scratch-building it.

Do you want me to scan a few pages of this book if it would help you get ideas or maybe try making a few by yourself??

Just remember that if it's SE Asia and it's 20th C it's as likely as not to be European in style.

Limbang, Borneo 1962 scene of the famous RM assault during the Brunei Revolt:



Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo
