Taiping Rebellion

[Mr Mipps]

I have been working on some figures for the Taiping Rebellion, 28mm figures, probably a bit of a sideline for some but as I like some of the more obscure periods I decided to have a go at these.

First up some leader types and Taiping rebels.

Ooh lovely    I hope you are getting these cast and then I can give you some money   If you are not then send them to me and I will pay for the moulds in return for castings

The intention is to cast these up just as soon as I have enough for a couple of molds, I am also working on some Imperials and Ever Victorious Army types to kick the range off.

I'll keep you posted on progress but at the moment I am hoping to have these ready later in the year.

A second buyer here....

[Mr Mipps]

Thanks for the comments, I guess once I have done the first batch I'll be asking for suggestions as to what to do next.

One of my favorite periods for colonial gaming.  Looking forward to getting some.

I've seen some Chinese videos on you tube of scenes from movies about the taipings. Very colorful, may be useful as a painting guide.

Anymore news on your figures. THE CID.

[Mr Mipps]

Update is that I will hopefully getting a couple of molds made over the next month or so, then into production, with luck, in the new year.

I plan to have some Taipings, EVA and Imperialists and a number of different weapons in a pack (various sears and other polearms) in the first batch, a couple of footsloggers, command and flag bearer for each type, with others to follow.  If I can fit them in I'll try to squeeze a couple of Tigermen in as well.

I am also working on some flags for these as well so will release these at the same time.

The EVA thus far-although I need to re work those turbans a bit!

Could you post a scale comparison pic alongside something?
