Manchu infantry, guardsmen, and Koreans on the way!

A wonderful new series (in all your threads) of Asian klickys. The books you took for reference were on my buy-next-list for some time, but I (sometimes unsuccessfully) try to limit myself to my current topics.

Nevertheless your customs are beautiful and maybe I should try a few Asians as well.

Thanks for all the comments!

I'm torn about using "Asian Eyes" and standard klicky eyes.

On the one hand, Asians don't really have slanted eyes, and the slanted eye heads, especially the fu-manchu mustaches, can look kitschy when over-applied.

On the other hand, the klickies need visual cues to tell you that they are Far East.

With my Koreans in another thread, I photographed before and after, trying to determine what looks best.

Well done and osprey publishing are the best documentation.
