Some interesting stuff, certainly some examples I hadn't seen before. I eagerly await part 2.

Duncn, great find. Downside is I now have to reshape and repaint the sheilds of 3 Chinese armies...

I shall say it this time, Tim. ;)

Very interesting; thanks, Duncan.

The Ming shield wall is particularly spectacular, and would certainly keep figure painters busy for a while.
