I'm still crazy over them but wont build more yet...I intend to live much longer on earth :lol:
and you'll agree with me that the newer horses dont fit here ;)
-
The legs are great cheng!! How did you make them?
Again wonderfull colours and yes I do agree that newer horses do not fit!
-
made long ago so I would have deleted any 'how to' photos if nobody asked (but sometimes I do not take 'how to' photos as I sometimes dont like what I finish and dissemble them soon afterwards..everything is just experimental to me until I see the end result)
if you look closely...they are just your normal knight legs with a piece of matching red/yellow PVC sticker and similarly, PVC stickers wrapped around their shins to simulate inner trousers ;)

Not all the terracotta warriors' heads survived the centuries underground...

Good work, cheng, king of the PVC tape method! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
Having two with their heads missing is an excellent piece of detail (and don't spoil it by saying you forgot to put them on before taking the photo!)
-
Fantastic customs Cheg! They are excellent! :wow: :wow: :wow: Like everyone else said, the legs are great! :)9
B-W :wave:

Great customs, Cheng! :)9
Best regards,

I love your terra cotta soldiers, Cheng! :wow: And I agree that the new horses just wouldn't look right here.
-
thanks everyone!
Good work, cheng, king of the PVC tape (may I register my this new title?) ;)
method! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

to be honest, I actually did not have enough chinese heads(that was before I started making my own ;D )
but removing hands would be painful (for me :lol: than for my klickies)...I must confess I have removed hands before (I'm sure you all must have discussed about swopping hands long ago) :)
-
Those are great- nice work.
-
Martin, thanks for posting that big detail and clear photo :love:
it didnt show up on my PC yesterday (I do see tiny red 'x sometimes on my PC)
-
Wonderful customs, I also really like the tape idea. :wow: :wow: :clap: :clap: :wow: :wow:

*falls form her chair*
that's great!! idea and realization :) BRAVOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
-
These are nice. A friend of mine is currently in Xi'an to study Chinese and plans to see the terra cotta soldiers soon.
-
Those are well done ! I have tried to do them, but I was not able to find the right legs for those terracota warriors. You did and did it great. Also you have chosen the right colors I think. I was able to see the real one in Xian few years ago and so few had their original colors... So what you have done it so close to what they should have been in real.
Congratulations, may I copy your ideas?

sure ALizobil, but I like to point out that some people tend to think light green and pink were the correct colors....which I felt was kinda sissy, so adopted strong bold colors instead

The only thing about them I don’t like is some of them are headless. They weren’t buried in that condition, ¿why have them that way now?
On another note, ¿did you use grey bayonet (3Ø Ø6 Ø91Ø) for the cross blades?

I've been neglecting them...I will make 2 more heads with yellow 'top-knots' one of these days, and will show you ;)
yes I did but later changed them to 30 07 2800 as I prefer them broader

But some of them were found in that condition, and I had assumed cheng was showing them as they were found.

Ah. I see. ;)yes I did but later changed them to 30 07 2800 as I prefer them broader
Ok. I was just curious, that’s all.;)But some of them were found in that condition, and I had assumed cheng was showing them as they were found.
So did I, until I realized they were also found with their paint removed (from centuries of being buried, wet, dry, hot, cold, bothered by animals and insects, and on and on)…
They’re still nice, either way, of course.
