Boxer Rebellion / Black Flag gun crews

[JBaumal]

I’m working on building armies for TSATF Boxer Rebellion and Black Flag Pirates. Though they are distinctive and separate forces my research has shown that some of the figures can be used for both armies, IMHO. Here are some Chinese gunners converted from 25mm Old Glory Boxer Rebellion minis from their colonial range, codes CBC-01 & CBC-02 Boxers attacking with Swords and Pole Arms.

Cool stuff and so much more on your blog.

Question: where do you source that pumice gel?  And is it comparatively expensive?  Thanks!

FifteensAway, thanks for taking a look at my blog! No, they are not too expensive as they cover quite a large amount of area. The most recent purchases were at a craft store in the US called Michael’s, though they carry them at Hobby Lobby too, but for a bit more. Luckily on line coupons can easily be had for both locations. A similar substance can be created with white glue or caulking with sand, Railroad ballast, and paint,  but it’s not as thick and drys much faster giving you much less working time for a large batch.

PS - I’ve enjoyed your posts and collections for quite sometime sir!
