Post by: GrahamB on August 31, 2016, 10:16:05: Yes, I agree- more versatile, greater variety of poses!

Are you going to put together a diorama of the Boxer Rebellion being suppressed by the massed forces of Britain, France, Germany, Japan, Russia, USA, Italy, Austria-Hungary (I looked it up on Wikipedia!)? You seem to be focussing on that historical period at the moment. :wave:

actually I have a unlighted and covered shelf depicting the Boxer Rebellion but the forces are in ranks to save space and there are no buildings except a facade at the back of the low shelf....maybe will clean it one of these days and temporarily display them and take a photo for PF ok? and I've yet to make Italian and Austro-Hungarian troopers ;D

Post by: Macruran on September 01, 2016, 13:03:20: Great use of those arms cheng. Especially that you've found a way to let klickies shoulder those bolt action rifles, which have always looked non-PM to me.

And count me in as someone who really wants to see your Boxer Rebellion dio! Should be a whole theme of course...

besides Italians and Austro-hungarian troops, I'm still hoping for chinese-looking buildings...not good at Steck....I'm sure with so much steck parts now, some of you can easily come up with chinese-looking buildings.....I did buy those chinese structures from the zoo set and those on the castle walls of the Asians but unlike LEGX, I cant make any decent buildings with them without chinese-looking windows and doors....guess I dont have the improvisation skills for buildings :P

thanks Bogol!
....errr, its just gibberish :P
I couldn't find any "H.M.S. XXXX" nor any words in german....so the word POLISH was to give the name some inclination (or 'leaning to' :lol: ) to Germany

Post by: bogol on September 11, 2016, 08:34:38: Hi cheng! A suitable wording could be "S.M.S. GEFION", a light cruiser which took part in the battle of Taku (SMS is the German abbreviation of HMS).

Post by: Junker Jörg on September 13, 2016, 16:01:27: Die schauen gut aus. Wenn Du die Mützenbeschriftung änderst, könntest Du auch diesen Stern da wegmachen, der paßt nicht zur Deutschen Marine 8-). Great lads! When replacing the hats' inscripts you also could try to remove that star. It's not at all matching German marine uniforms ;).

ja, danke, JJ! ich verstehe!
I rarely allow myself to remove printing unless its already scratched/spoilt :P

Post by: bogol on September 13, 2016, 20:07:35: Instead of the star there would be a roundel, red point in the middle, followed by a white and finally a black circle. Here's a sample (third pic from top):
