peking 1900 austro-hungarians and italian navy

[duivelindoosje]

good afternoon,

while painting bits and ends i found that i still needed to paint some austro-hungarians ( box 6,7 + bo 60-69) ) and italian naval (box 8 + bo 70-79 ) from redoubt boxer range

so i started looking for some advice on the uniforms

osprey has a naval austro-hungarian on plate B in men-at-arms 95 the boxer rebellion

for the austro-hungarians i also looked http://www.germancolonialuniforms.co.uk/

as for the italians i found some uniforms here

but did find something more intresting on

http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/review.aspx?id=1548

the review is very good, the range on boxer rebellion from redbox is very extended as are the comments

too bad those plastic figurines did not exsist when i was a boy, could have been heston ;-)

also look at the comment:

http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/Review.aspx?id=1540 on the russian sailors uniform, they even correct osprey

be aware do not look to the other plasticsoldiersreviews there is danger of nostalgia ;-

more painting or uniform tips are always welcome

thx for looking

Having just completed collecting my Boxer figures - in 15 mm - this information should come in quite handy.  Thanks for posting it.  Now if I can only remember where it is when I get around to actually painting the figures; they are the back of the line for now.
