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!)
