The Making of (more Asian soldiers)
« on: February 18, 2013, 06:52:56 »
most of my customs (I have many running at the same time) take more than a year (waiting for parts).....when finished, I normally dont have appropriate old photos to explain each step....
so here are are some at its early and mid-stages;

I did use thicker white urethane bands for my earlier Korean soldiers' inside collars(to represent their white cotton clothes) but in this case, I dont want to raise the outer armour too much.

as for their trousers, the outer skirt will be completed later with matching white PVC stickers, in front and behind

as for their armour, thank you PF (you know who ;) ), I took ages to cut not because its difficult but because its still painfull for me to do so :P
and the legs(showing only 4 here), another PF's....thank you too!

What you do is always interesting cheng, but to see the figures grow bit by bit makes it more so.  Thank you for taking the extra time and photos to show us the stages.   :wave:
