A friend and I got together a few weeks ago and got chatting about the Boxer Rebellion figures we’d collected in the 1980s from Harrow Model Shop. Sold under the Red Wing brand, these were commissioned and sold by Simon, one of the shop staff and we acquired quite a few of them. They’re pretty poor figures by today’s standards, but they have a certain charm, and we thought we might resurrect them either with Matakishi’s rules for the period – The Natives are Restless Tonight – or The Men who would be Kings. Of course, like many wargamers/collectors, we acquired an initial selection of the boxers and Imperial Chinese, and then collected units of all the Allied powers as Simon released them. We’ve now ended up with too many Allies and not quite enough Chinese. It’s a nice new/old project and in the meantime, here are pictures of some French Marines and sailors in their present state: I intend to base and matt varnish these in due course. And of course, if anyone has any Red Wing Boxers or Imperial Chinese lying unloved in their lead piles we’d be pleased to take them off your hands.
and some Boxers and Imperial Chinese
