Lovely paint job, but wow does he have a big head.

It's all the praise he keeps getting for his lovely figures and buildings

Oh... the figure.... yes, he does! Never noticed that before

I have had these for years and always thought them too dated to fit in with the Victorian Chinese adventures in my head.

Svennn - I think they'd work for VSF. Look at some of the Imperial Chinese in the Taiping or Boxer wars. Very traditional dress. Your figures are a bit "old fashioned" but not too different from them.

I'd use them!

I have the same problem. So I have two spare ones of these if you are interested? Quite happily send them to a new home.

Naww, I can spot various discrepancies between the lot's paint-jobs.

They are not discrepancies

they are artistic licence

An officer for the ranks

and then I got bored with blue for now

I think I am favouring the yellow but will probably do about a dozen of each. Its very tempting to do more colours as though they are fantasy figures but hopefully I am avoiding "Hong Kong Garden" syndrome by keeping them simple?

Yes and next a green dozen , a black and white dozen and so far. Finally you will have an army each unit of different base colour!

Excellent top job sir. Both versions are very nice!

Excellent! Love the yellow

The officer's great but I've got a bird on the painting bench that'll carve him up like a Sunday roast

Hope shes wearing green

Not happy with the officer picture, it has really washed out and a lot of the shading and colour is not showing. I found another casting of this figure this morning so a yellow officer is next on the cards.
