I had a few figures leftover from my Wargames Foundry order so I am not putting them to waste. First up is another artillery figure carrying an artillery round into a flag bearer. Chinese armies were known for having lots of flags in their units so the more flags the better.
Now that I am looking at the photos I need to do some touch-ups on the flag where I made the cuts. Next (posted in the previous blog) is another artillery figure that I made into an artillery lieutenant:
Speaking of artillery, I originally had the figure of the Imperial Chinese General Li Shimin from the Taiping Rebellion as the artillery officer for my gun holding a linstock. Since I purchased a Krupp breech loader, I have now made him into a banner bearer. His armor is outdated for this period - but so what? It looks cool. He will either go with a unit, be an objective marker, or just look neat on the tabletop.
Original role.
New Role.
Next up is another figure of General Li Shimin that maybe a leader, objective, etc. Th color and patterns are based on a uniform in a museum at the British Museum.
Phase 2 of the Boxer Rebellion poject is just about finished!
More good progress Neil and some nice looking figures!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I’m just about finished with Phase 2. Yep, I’m a planner.
DeleteLovely work all round again Neil, the green uniform is quite stunning, superb job in him,
ReplyDeleteI have the British Museum and Citadel Contrast Scorpion Green to thank! It definitely made that one easy.
DeleteThe furled flag looks great! Very nice work as always on all of these.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bill. Whenever given the opportunity add a flag I always will.
