To Shipka: CFFH = Club Francais de la Figurine Historique - http://cffh.free.fr/index_fr.htm.
 I have their "La revolte des Boxers 1900-1901" (The Rise of the Boxers 1900-1901). Three books with a wealth of information (in French of course) and illustrations, mostly b & W but also in colour. Although these I could not find on their website anymore (these were specials from 2004, 2005-4  and 2006-4), I saw LA CAMPAGNE DE CHINE DE 1853-1865 et LA REVOLTE DES TAIPINGS (two books) and  L'ARMEE CHINOISE DES SHANG A 1840 (also two books). Perhaps useful ?

Hello,

I follow this conversation with great interest because I myself have been waiting for this event for 30 years. Fervant admirer of this period, I put this link that you must surely know but in case!



 It is on the Siege of Tuyen Quang (1885) narrated in great detail by Georges Blond on his book on the Foreign Legion dating from 1964.

Well when the figures will be available I think I would throw myself on for a good acquisition, Ah black flags in 28mm on a table! The dream becomes reality!!

One more thing, look at this site although originally the name is about the onslaught of Peitang Cathedral during the siege of Beijing, there are plans on the site about the Marine troops and plans to make a gun boat and a boat to accompany them.

I am guessing the Tonkines will be shorter then the French.
