Title: last dynasty in China
Post by: cheng on March 24, 2011, 10:40:42

Maybe geobra will make a Manchu special someday?

A little history: The last Ming Emperor Chongzhen committed suicide when the city fell and the Manchus then ruled China (under the Qing Dynasty from 1644 to 1912).

This last dynasty reached its height in the 18th century but its military power
weakened thereafter and, faced with massive rebellions and defeat in wars, it was followed by the Republic of China.

I just sprayed some new legs breaking my own rule (of not making >4 similar
customs)...not the whole (red) leg but just their kung-fu shoes & 'socks' (the movie photo shows manchu soldiers in winter uniforms, with woolly black hats,
thicker jackets and shoes)

¿Any particular reason for this rule? Doesn’t seem all that necessary I mean…

well, Andy R, I have to restrict myself to collecting only certain themes and in limited numbers   :P most of us have limited space and money  ;D (I used to collect bigger numbers of ACW & knight armies when there was nothing new for years  ;) so, 4 can represent my small unit/marching band/posse  :)
