Manchu Banners
« on: May 30, 2011, 06:22:08 »
The Manchu were the last to rule China from 1644 until 1912.
This is one of their 8 banners bearing their Manchu mustard yellow field with a Dragon which I'm using for my Taiping War/Boxer Rebellion Theme.
(I hope those bluish-grey blobs look like what they are supposed to be :P)

Ah! Ah! I wondered what your next move would be! China it is then. Nice figures once again.

thanks guys!
and Arnaud, I was afraid they weren't going to look like clouds :P
..would anyone (without any Asian knowledge) be able to say they are clouds (if I didnt put the drawing of a real flag?)

can anyone (without any Asian knowledge) identify what those 'W's (on the drawing) represent?

I guessed they were clouds with no problem, cheng, so they obviously look right!

I really like these latest customs of yours as they are simple yet very effective, and very impressive banners and flag poles.

I would say the orange 'W' are flames. Though with a closer look I don't see the clouds.   ???

Magnificent customs cheng. I like how you used the roof of the zoo :-)

The figures are really well done, with the red of their pants just showing through.
