India Ink / Alcohol Wash alternative?

Probably need a bit of experimentation. I think I would dilute a bit of black acrylic in water first, then add some alcohol. 

Alternatively, I just looked and Amazon has india ink, says they can get it to me by monday.... not sure where you are but Im sure the time frame is similar.

Yes, just get it at Amazon.  BTW: Note that it is available in several colors. I use both black and brown.

india ink is definitely worth ordering. works great. alternatively, you can also use fiebing’s usmc black leather dye mixed with iso alcohol, same as you would with india ink. gives a nice grayish weathered look. a watered down acrylic wash can also work. 

Fiebings leather dye is great stuff.  But wear gloves and do not spill. 

Thanks for the replys.  I will look into them.

The nice part of water based acrylics is you can wash it off if you don't like it. Even a year or two later it comes off , though it's a bit more work after about a month and beyond.    I started using it because it was all I had and I grew to like it fast. It is better paint than it was when  I was young; for sure.

Just curious.  I do have some acrylic paint, so what percent mixture do you use?  Also, do you use it like dry brushing or wet?  Thanks.
