Great custom work again, cheng, and your ideas and attention to detail seem never ending.  (And I think the non-historically flag can be forgiven.)

Had to come back to this, how did you glue the platforms on the sides of the carriage? or did you just use this system x piece 30 24 3310 - Connector, triangular prism-shape, System X (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-24-3310) to support it on the carriage?

no glue nor blue tacks.
youre right, only 30 24 3310 to hold the rear onto the floor boards and 30 04 1620 clips to hold the front onto the chariot driver's seat.

WOT, I'll take an interior photo tonight if that's easier for you.

oops just noticed that I used this white ones  :P
I have never seen nor own other types of clips and parts...I'm sure you can easily improve on my design as I use whatever I had lying around only.  :P

Hey Cheng!
Once again, a nice work on the hair and feet.
I have a question though: are the crossbows accurate? Did the Chinese have any?
Cheers,
Arnaud

thanks Jimbo!

and WOT & cowabounga, this should be very clear...I'm sure you can use other more appropriate parts (i've limited system X parts only...I used to enjoy building LEGO Technic toys for my son  ;D )
