Thanks chaps

Here are a couple of shots of some of the other masters I'm working on.

First off, just a simple out house, nowt special really but useful.

And then we have a town house that will have swappable frontages. The core building will stay the same but there will be a selection of fronts to choose from. I might even do a different core building to mix it up even more.

cheers

James

James, do you know this book: http://www.cbt-chinabook.de/assets/s2dmain.html?http://www.cbt-chinabook.de/fremdsprachigebuecher/kulturkunstgeschichte/00000095000bfa02b.html

It's in german and chinese, but that doesen't matter at all: 281 beautiful watercolour paintings of Beijing in the 1920/30s, when the city had still prevented her old style from the 19th century! Full of details, streetlife, houses, markets, strange professions and so on. All completely gone today, painted from life by a master painter of that time. A bit expensive, but I wish I would have had it already when I was building my Boxer rebellion buildings ... Highly recommended!

Once again the sands of time just run away, never to return but getting some new Boxer Japanese sculpts has re-sparked my interest in the period (even to the point where I bought some 15mm Japanese infantry and Boxers...).

Anyway, the building base is continuing and once the filler is dry later tonight I'll put some textured paint on and then give a creamy primer coat ready for painting tomorrow. Whilst the filler is drying I'll do some flagstones in the courtyard
