Great that good figures are being made available for this period. I am about halfway through reading "God's Chinese Son" which is a great starting point for the Taiping.

The Foundry book on China has a wealth of information on this period.
Best wishes,

Nice miniatures. I hope they 'll be compatible in size with the Foundry range  :)
