Are there still no Ming Chinese being made in 28mm? |

There are a handful of Ming Chinese in North Star's "Ronin" range: link |

Irregular miniatures also make 25/28mm Ming Chinese (listed under 'Imperial Chinese'), but I'm not sure how up to date these are: irregularminiatures.co.uk |

I'm sure I saw some 1/72 Ming here several months ago. Nice looking figures. Isn't 1/72…. 28mm? |

skipper: no, modern day 28mm is closer to 1/56. |

There are a few ranges available… link |

Thanks guys. Though the North Star Ming are awful IMHO. |

I am co-commissioning a small group of 28mm Ming warriors for the Imjin Wars by Steve Barber. So far we have 4 different figures: upright arquebusier, kneeling arquebusier, and two different variants of heavily armoured troops. The latter will have an assortment of weapons and head swaps. If you have Facebook here are some pictures of greens: link link |

As for the listing Cedric provided, if you didn't like the Northstar figures then I doubt you'll be happy with most of the rest. The rather nice Forlorn Hope figures are sadly awol. |

I have the moulds to the ex-Forlorn Hope, ex-Cavalcade Ming Chinese and will be bringing them back on line as time and money allows. I also have the Wako range, and I have limited numbers of them on hand – and on sale. link |

That is interesting to hear, altfritz. Perhaps you'd consider crowdfunding to get the Ming line back in production? |
| altfritz | 14 Jan 2020 3:16 p.m. PST |
That is an option, I guess. I have a lot of other things that also need sorting. |

Caesar's sells a boxed set of Ming troops. There are 28 figures per set. I'm only familiar with these because I was looking on-line at Ch'in Dynasty set and noticed that they also had Ming, Shang, Zhou, and Han set. |

I hit up the Perry Bros about doing a mixed metal-plastic line. They seemed less than enthused for some reason. Maybe if they got some additional emails they might get encouraged? |

I emailed them last year about the Ming and got a very non committal response. |
| altfritz | 18 Sep 2020 8:27 a.m. PST |
They were probably less than enthused b/c while a few people are expressing interest where were they when Cavalcade was in business, or before Forlorn Hope sold the range to me. I have a few castings of Wako but I recall one punter who expressed interest didn't want to pay a fair price for them. Why would the Perry Bros go through the expense if that's what the market is like? |
