That's the trade off of weapon proliferation.

henri martini was widely used in Peking 1900 but I'm not sure if the boxers got hold of them in large numbers :P

As always, a nice choice of colours, and I love how you paint their shoes! Did I already mention that? Yes I have but still… great job!

thanks George and Arnaud!
you have Arnaud, but I'm not too pleased with their shoes still :P
somehow my masked edges leak when spraying and you can see those uneven lines and I console myself by saying that even PM prints have defects and best of all "someday PM will make better chinese legs!!" ;D

Great customs again, cheng!  And I love the way you pose your customs in a dynamic way so it looks as if there's something going on out of the picture which is creating interaction between the figures.   :wave:

thanks Hadoque & Gordon!
I hope its ok to post this figure painted by (definitely) an accomplished (anonymous) scale modeller from whom I got this inspiration
...notice his long manchu queue wrapped around his neck (something they often do during (fist/boxing :lol:) fights to get their hair out of the way :P)
my next challenge is to figure out how to customise a half shaven manchu head with a long hair queue behind still ;) I doubt PM will ever make one so no point waiting for Fi?ures series #10 :'(
