They have come out great. That Eureka fella is a big chap.

Had you seen these?  http://reivercasting.wordpress.com/sino-japanese-war-1931-1940/


a little earlier obviously but you may be able to employ some of them

Cheers for the compliments mates

Yes I have seen them but I cant tell if I like them or not due to the paint job on the site (especially the faces), But I probably will pick up a pack of them in the future If only to see what the details are like in the bare and I'll put them on here when I do for any others on the fence about them.

I'm not sure if the eureka chap is big or the brigade guys are small when I compare them to the copplestone chinese range, But then again I suppose the rifles & equipment are a similar size so the mix quite well. The only downside to the eureka guys are that there's only 4 of them in the entire range and you have to email the store as they are not listed on the site.

Definitely off the beaten track, which is a very good thing. This is a WW2 theater that deserves more attention from wargamers than it usually receives.

Cheers lads.
The downside to painting an obscure army like this though is trying to find out what colour the uniforms should be which is surprising seeing how big the Chinese army was, seemed that every reference I found was contradictory even in Chinese language uniform guides.

The Brigade stuff is what's on the small side, beautifully done but don't mix with other makers.
ps awesome paint job, much better than mine
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it anymore and what is it seems weird and scary.
