my first (Chinese) Han soldier

[cheng]

Amazing! The similarities are remarkable!

I presume you meant the red-brown hunter's cap 

while waiting for a klicky to model this cap, what do you guys think about this slightly pointed eskimo headcover (in case 20 red-brown hunter's cap take the rest of my lifetime and lifetime savings ) ? I will have to imagine that the pointy bit is where his top-knot ends 
(will have to do some cutting of course )

and thanks guys...I'm glad to have posted an unfinished prototype for your opinions and ideas instead of trying to figure it out by myself....my slow and not the best possible use of available parts

Did a few mock ups this morning, cant find the other hat, but I think this one is closer anyway...

[cheng]

thanks Baron!!
2 more Han soldiers

....I have neither of these and will be able to digitally sculpt these first to see if I should order a bunch of these 

...anyone out there with the old (red-brown) hunter's cap from 3628 (a Han with a perfect side view shot please  )

(I have the pointed eskimo headcover and will compare with these)

[cheng]

anyone out there with this blue hunter's cap from Dinosaur Transport set?

if so, can you please pose and shoot a Han with a perfect side? 
thanks in advance!

[Baron Marshall]

I have one... somewhere... hopefully I can find it today.... 


FOUND IT... personally i think the others are better...

[cheng]

thank you so very much Baron Marshall !
you cant imagine how much you've help....from now onwards, I'll ask you guys for help when developing a new custom, instead of spending months, sometimes years to finish one completely (like my koreans) but of course I work on many simultaneously so I dont really wait and do nothing until a new part/new idea comes along. sometimes I show a custom which I'm not totally pleased with but I will keep improving it and share the improvements

this 'Han' hasnt got the right arms, legs and head, in fact nothing is right yet...not even his torso armour, but like i always say, the hat/helmet has the most important visual effect on the likeness of any soldier custom 

[WarriorOfToys]

I would say the arms and torso are pretty close.
But you are right about the helmet being most important.

[cheng]

I would say the arms and torso are pretty close.

thanks WOT!

the yellow/green polar cap seems more appropriate then the white/red-brown hunter's cap because I prefer the longer ear flaps/chin straps 

since I am going to do quite a lot of cutting, maybe I have to ask our ladies for opinions and help now with photos 
I can trim their sides for ear flaps but more importantly, they have the hump for their top-knot covers.

[cheng]

and how about this one ladies? if you have one (any colour), please take a side view on a male klicky head 
thanks in advance 

[Baron Marshall]

might be a few days... you know to give the ladies a chance  ... but I have all of those hats... one might be hiding somewhere... I'll see if they turn up....
