Hi Tony
Remember that the figures you see illustrated on the web site for EoI
figures are for the "Toy Collector" market. The process in painting these
is to have a "period expert" paint a master which is then replicated by the
chinese master painter and sent to outworkers in China to produce commercial
figures. The original castings, particularly the generals if you are able to
get hold of them, are of an excellent detail and compare well with other
(sometimes more expensive) 54mm figures. I wish that I could get hold of
more unpainted castings. If you haven't already done so have a look at the
artillery units - great fun!!
