Title: my own DS Terracotta soldiers & chariot set
Post by: cheng on August 24, 2012, 03:13:58
I thought I'd better 'launch' these before Geobra launches any Asians for 2013.
here's my own DS three-some;
a charioteer, a bowman and an extra soldier
(not a new custom but just improved on the soldiers)

thanks Arnaud!
I reckon Geobra will have to make such a hairdo for any acceptable ancient Asian...so mine are temporary and also hopefully they will make likewise  ;)
..as for the sad chariot driver....he's actually a conscript taken from his beloved farmland and that's probably his strongest horse too :P
...always hoping we wont catch any arrows himself and for the war to end :D

Ah, OK! Not a fighter then. Didn't I just see his face in the peasant army too? Was that before conscription maybe?  :lol: :lol: :lol:

haha! no....that boy with thinner & longer eyebrows is just a young farm boy feeling silly armed with his father's heavy pitchfork :lol: (while his buddy is carrying at least a much lighter pitchfork ;D)....btw Arnaud, the other 2 older peasants are their respective fathers)

glad you approve the use of LXXX(censored) parts Kenc!
...dont know if its common knowledge but ancient chinese flags were not in shreds but rather with neatly cut tails to catch and flutter in the wind ;)

You seem very confident PM will release a Chinese theme next year. Did you have a hint or just convinced yourself? Or did I miss the news?
Title: Re: my own DS Terracotta soldiers & chariot set

Maybe Geobra hired him and these are prototypes.  :P

Ah, if only that where true.  :)

thanks Gyps!
the hair knots are are merely push-pins/soft board pins(what do you call them?
again, just temporary stuff and waiting for Geobra :P

btw, I just sprayed another 9 top-knots yesterday ;D .... keep wondering "what if Geobra moulds better ones....even if its not 'better', I'll still take mine down because I want to be as OM as possible :P
