Just a brief update.
Leandro has finished the sculpts and I couldn't be happier with them. I've asked him to take some new shots as I've deleted some of the others, and I don't have them all together, at any rate. I will post some pictures (likely in a new topic), as soon as I have them. It is my hope that Leandro will be willing to do either some Chinese or French Gendermes for the French Concession at some point. (Assuming the Japanese sell well enough to fund such endeavours.)
I have also received the finished examples of Fu'Xian's "otherworldly" minions. I will have some photos of these as soon as possible. I may well wait until they are cast in metal to share them, but I think they are going to suit the purpose very well, and are arguably the best work he's done for me, thus far.
