I will probably go for the Grumpy's figures but it seems that I will need to order them from Eureka - hopefully I'm not too late to put in an order for collection at Salute to avoid postage costs from Australia to UK.TamsinPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11759947520907448060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908829430234339181.post-19712369299724037542018-02-28T15:03:13.974+00:002018-02-28T15:03:13.974+00:00I also do Imjin war at 15mm and the lack of Ming f...I also do Imjin war at 15mm and the lack of Ming figures as well as accurate information is extremely problematic.

Tiger is a common Chinese shield motif, as pronunciation for "Tiger" and "Protect" are similar in Chiense language.春秋戰國https://www.blogger.com/profile/14961602507085597255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908829430234339181.post-31981144436145314882018-02-27T14:51:18.642+00:002018-02-27T14:51:18.642+00:00Thanks for stopping by - your blog looks as though...Thanks for stopping by - your blog looks as though it's a very useful source and I wish I'd come across it before I'd started painting my army, but it's too late now.<br />I didn't know that about white being associated with death; something to keep in mind for future additions to my army. <br />As for the shields, it sounds as though I may have been better going with my other option which was to paint the symbols for "wolf" on them, as with the officers' shields.<br />Once again, thanks for stopping by to say hello and make some useful comments.

I saw a link to my blog popping up, so I figure I should come over and say hi =D. <br /><br />On the topic of shield - ancient people were actually pretty into shield decorations, particularly as some sort of good luck charm (soldiers tend to be superstitious). Their skill might be crude, but they usually still spend some time and effort to paint it.<br /><br />Undecorated Chinese shield should be best left with original wood colour/texture. Chinese in particular would avoid too much white colour due to its association with death, mourning and funeral (thus bad luck).春秋戰國https://www.blogger.com/profile/14961602507085597255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908829430234339181.post-35829557506457859632018-02-26T18:26:57.461+00:002018-02-26T18:26:57.461+00:00@ Whisk - thanks Ivy!

Although the "demon face" shields shown on that page may be the ones in artwork or surviving examples, they look to be very intricate designs and probably wouldn't have been present on the shields of the masses of infantry but rather on the shields of officers and nobles. I figure that the bulk of the troops would have painted crude imitations on their own shields, such as the ones that I've done :)TamsinPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11759947520907448060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908829430234339181.post-55877665616266506622018-02-26T11:19:47.891+00:002018-02-26T11:19:47.891+00:00I'm really sorry to be that guy and your model...I'm really sorry to be that guy and your models are beautifully painted but......might want to take another look at those shields: <br /><br />http://greatmingmilitary.blogspot.com/2015/11/101st-post-p2.htmlanonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08710076637346539651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908829430234339181.post-10629605947395420752018-02-26T00:33:20.045+00:002018-02-26T00:33:20.045+00:00They look great.
