Boxer rebellion artillery, new company, Victorious Miniatures

Yes a plug for a new company, Victorious Miniatures, as well as Napoleonic we sell Boxer Rebellion.

As I type we have three Chinese  cannon and a Limber, all based on photos taken at the time by British officers and Journalists , gunners are being sculpted at this moment in time and then some 12 warriors are commissioned.

Good luck with the new venture: Chinese artillery is surely under represented. Personally I don't do Chinese but I will be interested when you get around to the European legation forces.
I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.

ok the Chinese Dragon cannon is now available to buy [slight hiccup in production] and I hope in the near future 2 more big Chinese cannons 12-18pdr size, one will have a tigers head with the mouth open[where the cannon ball comes out] the other plane.

These are from photos taken of the cannons on the great wall around this era.

I will be doing Legation Cannons and machine guns in the new year including "Betsy" the home made one that is in the film "55 days at Peking".

I think those guns would really look good in an Opium Wars game ;)

Nice! How far back would they go, especially the dragon gun, which seems to show the least western infliuence, perhaps apart from the bucket?

Would you sell the wheels separately? I could imagine many other uses for them, over several dynasties...

Thanks for the nice comments.
 

Few of the buckets cast so wont be shipping them, if their is interest I would be happy to sell the wheels. [ sets of 4?]

Waiting for a new simpler wheel without all the rivets and two more much larger guns.

Also waiting for the gunners......
