Yet another Chinese building base!

This is my third building base for China and probably my favorite (so far).

The look is of a rich merchants 'summer house'. The moon door is soon to be in the catalogue but I thought it would be nice to utilise it in a build. The garden is supposed to be more upper class than the others but some of the details might be a bit anachronistic as there's not a lot of info available (that I could find in the limited time I spent researching) .

The house uses the roof of CR02 and foam core walls with some lasered window shutters, microstrip detailing and a wooden door. The lanterns are just wooden beads painted accordingly. The small side building is soon to be in the catalogue as well.

The white grass in the garden is supposed to represent 'silver grass', a native grass type in east Asia. I don't think I've got it quite right and at some point I'll give it another go. I'd like, at some point, to make a large walled garden (maybe part of the summer palace that was in Peking) but we'l see.

On to the pictures :-)
