Fantastic troops!
I'm glad that I'm not the only one :)

Wow, cheng, you have been busy.  The master customiser is busy again.

Cheng
How close are you now to actually putting together a Peking diorama(c.1900)?
That's what I am really looking forward to seeing.
So far, everything looks fantastic!

Thanks guys!!

Richard...I seem to be just adding soldiers on both sides but no buildings so far.....I've been hoping for some but the Asian theme has nothing I can use.

Cheng,
Admittedly, the "Asian Theme" was a bit disappointing.
However, maybe our friend Ralf might be able to come up with some ideas.
Bart came up with some great pictures for Roman buildings.
However, the Zirndorf "design team" never followed through with anything.
So, it appears that if we want a "real" Aisian theme we'll have to do it ourselves!
All the best my friend,
Richard

Thanks everyone!

..and Richard,
I've been going it alone again after seeing the Asian theme...no new legs/shoes/baggy sleeves/chinese shirts/temple except for those little red buildings with nice double roofs which are not modular and can't be expanded(just like the 'mud' building from the Egyptian theme...I wanted to build a big desert fortification for a French Foreign Legion vs Bedouins at one time)
..I never pay attention to Steck or these new buildings and have no ideas for buildings so will have to wait for inspiration taking my time to build up the various 1900 armies ;)

Why not just have a backdrop with the buildings and landscape painted on in traditional Chinese style?
