Title: Red 'Terracotta' soldiers
Post by: cheng on August 29, 2016, 09:28:11
China's first emperor (221-207 B.C.)
who built the Great Wall of China also ordered the building of the massive mausoleum with an army of more than 6,000 colorfully painted life-size clay soldiers now known as the terra cotta soldiers....mine are just in monotones like in the movies.

where was this Apollo custom you saw? I've always associated this hair with modern klickies...mine were from footballers mostly..... and only finally used them when I ran out of the 'Sammy Davis Jr' wigs and the other shorter wigs

I loved Lorne Greene... His voice was AMAZING. Sooooo clear. And he was perfect for Adama.

Wiki says they estimate 8,000 soldiers but I read somewhere that they found new locations with more, albeit, smaller sized figures....of course I'll have to move out of my own house first :P

but seriously, I never planned to make more than 10 in total but because there are no new parts for me, I just end up adding more and more to each variant...our old type of monotone brown horses are most appropriate, but I really dont have the space :D

Fehlen nur noch 5994  8}. Mir gefallen die Rock-Stiefel-Kombinationen der Beine am besten. Schaut toll aus! Just 5994 left...  :lol:. I like those skirted trousers most. Great figures!
