my first (Chinese) Han soldier

[cheng]

after the Qin Dynasty (during which the Terracotta army was built),
came the Han Dynasty (206 BCE – 220 CE), the golden age in Chinese history,
and here's my first Han soldier (not to be confused with Atila's "Huns")
I'm still trying to figure out how to make their headcovers

WOW! Very nice!
I hope to see more from this theme!
He looks amazing Cheng.

Also not to be confused with Han Solo!

Don't you have a pic of these head overs?
Nice custom, my friend, although his moustache is askew.

great custom!!! 

[cheng]

thanks and you will WOT, much much later  

and Arnaud-cowabounga,
I will look for those photos
(and ancient chinese with such "as-cute" cat-like whiskers!)
I forgot all about Han Solo...maybe he's also a 'Han' chinese, light years later

Are any of these the hats you are talking about Cheng?

[cheng]

thanks WolfKnight!

yes, somewhat like the officer(?) in the second drawing (looks funny, maybe because he's wearing a toy sword )
thanks still !
more like these (soft cloth caps, tied under their chins); (hello Playmogal, if youre watching, can hubby cast this(Han head cover)? 

[henry_martini]

Excellent already. I hope you find a solution for the hair cover.

There is a white scarf that is open on the rear. Or maybe http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-05-6200 if it can be found somewhere. It might fit better then the red one while being depicted in the last of your reference pictures.

[cheng]

the 1st one is too 'loose' (see pic) but I  dont have the older one 30 05 6200
...probably not available anymore
(i was going to cut (yes!  ) the armor to accomodate the white loose scarve you suggested..thanks micheal!)

[cowabounga]

I don't have any idea for such hat but, I have just found this part I've seen several times on Asian customs: http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?mode=view&partnum=30+05+9030&pics=on
Not my idea, but when you reverse it (the bow at the back), it looks really cool on warriors, IMO.
It's also available in dark pink.
Since it's been used in several sets (it's a headband for a maid), I guess it might still be available from DS.

@WoT: what is the soldier in the first picture you posted holding in his left hand? Some kind of shield I reckon, but it looks like it has arms like a bow??? Any hint?
Best,
Arnaud
