Chinese compound

[OSHIROmodels]

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

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.

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!

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.
