Cheng, these are some wonderful, diverse customs!  Are you planning to create troops for all the foreign powers in Peking?

Thanks Andrew!

Fantastic figures and ideas for a challenging theme. And astonishing how the small scenery parts add to the once again perfect far east setting.

thanks Micheal  :)
thats how I envisioned my boxer setting the day I saw the new pictures of the zoo chinese roof....(but not the '3 monkeys' walls....they are not 'historically correct')

I'm holding my breathe as it were, waiting to see other members/forums using the japanese torii gate and this roof for their manificient X-system buildings

thanks Richard (I've urgently PMed you)

thanks Foulque(I think I did put those russian customs on its own thread long ago...I didnt add anything new  ;D )

thank you Cooster! your compliments means alot to me!

Justin..thanks for teaching me about sand pebbles....Steve McQueen was one of our heros during our youth...somehow I missed the show....I would do this custom if only it was historically correct...too bad just too bad it was fictional  :)

I've not finished here yet  ;)
now I'm wondering if I should have started a 'customising' thread since we might end up discussing abit on what I'm about to add/improve on

you see, I'm adding a general and improving both the 3 foot soldiers now....if you have any pictures, do show me some too
Title: Re: Boxer Rebellion 1900
Post by: WarriorOfToys on July 28, 2010, 12:40:07 AM
Unfourtuntly I don't have any pictures of Koren soldiers to give you Cheng.
But if you every want really nice, detailed pictures of Japanese soldiers I have plenty. :)

I can't wait to see your general and soldiers Cheng. ;D

Sylvia, is it necessary to cut and paste my last post here and WOT's reply just above this and move them to my 'Imjin War'? ....I was in a hurry and replied to WOT thinking he was asking in my other thread  :P  ;D meanwhile I'll reply to WOT there  :P and here? ;D

Ill send you a PM with them soon...
I have one really good picture of Ashigarus that is colored.
It also has early (12th Century?) Samurai armor.
The 12th century being the period I am trying to recreate.

Though the book has lots of 1590s pictures in it too.
(For your Japanese, Korean, Chinese war... ;) )

Cheng, you really do some wonderful conversions.  If you're doing Asian soldiers of the time of the Boxers, the British had a Chinese Regiment too,  The 1st Chinese Regiment sometimes called the Wei-hi-wei Regiment.

thanks for the photo Dan  :)
but with PM chinese & caucasians having same skin color & height...I'm afraid my wei-hi-wei klickies might look like germans wearing green turbans  :P

These boxers look fantastic, even the temple and the incense container.

Do you have a higher-res photo you could send me?  (Your posted photo is a bit blurry).

Hi Cheng the photo you published is from Osprey's book set during the Taiping Era (1870s).  Granted, not much probably changed.

Have you seen pics of the Taiping generals and their umbrellas?

I should get off my butt and get back into the game...  Wife and Daughter heading to China ahead of me.  Have the next three weeks free...

Have you seen pics of the Taiping generals and their umbrellas?
no...umbrellas??  :D

I should get off my butt and get back into the game...  Wife and Daughter heading to China ahead of me.  Have the next three weeks free... please do come here more often...I'm not too confident without books and opinions  :P...but unlike my Tamiya figures, we PM customisers can easily correct/change dresses for our klickies  :D
