15mm Chinese Tents AVAILABLE NOW!

Code: 15CHI

This Chinese tent is based on a Wei-Jin original painting. It is designed to be used as a baggage element for any Chinese army and to fit on a standard 40x40mm DBM baggage base.
Sources are extremely limited but suggest it is suitable for most Chinese armies of the ancient period, at least up to the Yuan dynasty. It is certainly a very functional and simple type of tent the use of which was probably quite widespread, and sources tend to represent large camps with a considerable number of small tents of this kind arranged around a cantral focus point.










15CHI is available in two finish: simple plain cast, as it comes out of the mold; or cleaned, based and primed, ready to paint. We regret we are unable to offer this item as a stock finished element, painted and based, because of the amount of detail and the time it requires to paint. However we may occasionally offer some painted and based sample as promotion on e-bay; just let us know if you want to receive a short note when this happens.
We do accept commission painting on this item, we can paint it to your description and requirements. The time required would be approximately six weeks for a 1-8 elements order. Price starts around EURO€ 15.00 per piece, but it really depends on the amount of detail the color scheme demands; just contact us for a free quote with no obligation whatsoever!

15mm Tibetan Maikhan Tents AVAILABLE NOW!

Code: 15TBT

This traditional Tibetan tent is called a Maikhan, our model is about 38mm wide, 44mm deep and 22mm tall, so it would need approximately 1mm trim at one corner to fit on a standard 40x40mm base... ooops :)
The roof of the Maikhan was supported by two upright poles, stabilized with guy ropes at each end. The guy ropes, made of yak hair, were adorned with prayer flags. More side ropes were connected to the junction where the roof meets the walls, which pulled them out and held the roof taut. The walls were further drawn out at the base and were staked to the ground, creating a sloped silhouette which stood up well to high wind. The largest of these tents were large enough for several people to stand in, made of thick felt and whitened with a coat of lime, as a white tent was a symbol of great wealth. Strips of black cloth were sawn to the seams, doorways and at the bottom edge, probably to act as reinforcement at the stress areas.
