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:

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!) 

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)  :)

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?
If I’m jealous, you did SOMETHING right. Keep it up. :D
