Title: my Asians...Terra Cotta Warriors
Post by: cheng on December 06, 2007, 04:16:26 AM

I wonder if Geobra would ever make Terra Cotta Warrior specials....i know how many i'll buy  ;D
blue & red were 'favourite' colors then.....perhaps this was their uniform colors before they became immortalized in earthly color  ;)

(from the other angle)

personal message to Geobra: "Asians! Asians! Asians! Asians! Asians! Asians! Asians! Asians! Asians! Asians! Asians! Asians! Asians! Asians! Asians! Asians! Asians! Asians! Asians! Asians! " ;D

thanks for your kind compliments guys!

reversible custom really...
i think they were more 'dresses' than 'kilts'
(kilts are shorter knee-length with pleats and are more airy i' think   :D
i just cut and stuck a red piece of PVC sheet (edged it with a silver marker) on the newer knight's legs...

the 'neck-warmers' are PVC strips...

and their knotted hair......can anyone guess? not casted nor made from allumnite etc   ;D

thanks again guys!
(any ladies here?  :D )

these ideas have been 'cooking' in my head for a long time....it just takes me a long time to find chinese heads (i'm adding their terra cotta leader soon)...which i'm still searching for (too expensive to buy the new 'Mr.Wong' from DS just for his corneas  ;D )

Nice customs Mr. Cheng. About the asian heads, I just made a trick tired of not having the ones I need

WOW...Clickezno, that's beautiful!!!
yes I must have 1 too  ;D
(I have always wondered what else to do with those 'clumsy' santa beards...and now it looks valuable on this 'monk' thanks!)

i'm still waiting for bald heads(I try not to use resins or mix paints)
..those new bald pirates are too tanned and also they have a moulded on bandana(?)..  ;)

Yes, those new pirate heads brought a kind of deception to me (and everyone else for sure) with that damned bandana :'( I suppose they´ll give us some real bald head someday  :D
