Like the real counterparts in their uniformity each one of them is individual.

Well done.

I really wish I had the skill to make custom parts (like your spears). :( I am so jealous…

Oh...
Did you paint them after tying, and if so how?

I used a Tamiya Marker pen before tying them with a thin strip of metal foil  :)

I've hoped and prayed ever since  :P maybe if more stunning discoveries unfold and catches the interest of German kids  ;) ...with short skirts we can make even more themes...both eastern and western  ;D

and Justindo...I had a fair bit of pictures to follow like these...but I'm still not too happy with their shoes/feet..guess this leaves room for more work and improvement or until GB comes up with more appropriate ones   :D

Hey cheng, for fun, try making a terra cotta klicky and actually spray painting it terra-cotta color (of course, use common parts, considering it will be painted over!)

These look great!

Hello and welcome here Jeremy!
sorry I've been busy and will quickly make up for my absense in the next few minutes before I rush off again  :P 

1)sharp hat? I think you are talking about those conical Asian hats which I made for Qing and also Ashigaru(s)..can you kick up the particular thread you refer to so that readers here will not get confused and I'll reply it ASAP in the same thread.  ;)

2)the bun for my Qin(not Qing....a much later dynasty) is just those push pins we use on soft boards and sprayed matt black  :P

3)spanish forum? you mean the spanish forum in GW? I'll take look and hope you did not put more than one thread unless you want me to comment on every one...I'll be honoured to...shall I be Simon Cowell or the kind lady who used to sit next to him?  ;D
