The Ancient Shu Warriors 15-17th century BC (75mm)

2015-12-23T09:38:00.001-08:00

A New experience with this scale and having a chance to work with MJ Miniature.
In artisticlly, who's bring me a super holistic landscape for me to understand how professional they are.

Yep, This is it for now, I hope we have a next project to be happen in the 2016.

The Ancient Shu Warriors 15-17th century BC
The kingdoms of Ba 巴 and Shu 蜀 were polities located in the modern province of Sichuan and flourished during the Eastern Zhou period 東周 (770-221 BCE). Ba was located around modern Chongqing 重慶, Shu around modern Chengdu 成都, Sichuan. Both states were separated by mountain ranges from the states of the Central Plain along the Yellow River and were not part of the orbit of the power of the kings of Zhou. Unlike the semi-"barbarian" states of Chu 楚 (modern Hubei), Wu 吳 (modern Jiangsu) and Yue 越 (modern Zhejiang) they did not participate in the political activities of the feudal states of the Zhou empire.

The peoples settling in the regions of Ba and Shu were linguistically and culturally distinct to the Chinese peoples. They were historically referred to as the "hundred Pu" 百濮 and are known by the names of Cong 賨, Ju 苴, Gong 龔, Nu 奴, Rang 獽, Yi 夷, Yan 蜒, Dian 滇, Liao 僚 or Bo 僰, or, more generally, Man 蠻. The cultural diversity can most clearly be seen in the bronze vessels and objects unearthed in Sanxingdui 三星堆. Shapes, patterns and decorations have a clearly visible local character. In the writing system, other characters were used than in the feudal states of central China, as can be seen in a few inscriptions on weapons and seals. Historiographical records were apparently not kept in both Ba and Shu so that the early history of these states is rather obscure and enclouded in mythology and legend.

Weapons:
"Willow sword" (CHINESE BASHU WILLOW-LEAF-ALIKE SHORT BRONZE SWORD)
Artistically adorned with mysterious abstract symbol or monster face. Made by Green Bronze(Bronze is copper ( copper ) was added to an alloy of tin or lead , Green bronze is the modern name given , ancient bronze is reddish yellow). Size: Width 5-7cm, Length 37-60cm

"Ge" (dagger axe)
Dagger axe that would commonly be called a Ge. It does maintain some characteristics of an earlier type of pole mounted weapon called a k'uei such as the triangular blade with the nei (butt) centered on the yuan (blade). none of my resource materials have an exact match for this piece but very similar pieces may be found in "Ancient Sichuan Treasures From a Lost Civilization" by Robert Baglet p 242, "Ancient Chinese Weapons" by Cheng Dong et al p 108 and "Chinese Bronze Age Weapons" by Max Loehr p 17.

This is a specially hard.....skill......I will get another try...

Yim Kei in 120mm scale, It is a beginning.

2015-07-29T02:52:00.001-07:00

He's about 95mm, I designed he is a short guy in such scale.

With a gentle smiling face and you never know the story on him if you doesn't know his actual name…Yes, he is based on my favourite oriental Kung Fu story by Jin Yong in 1959
Flying Fox of Snowy Mountain and Other Tales of the Flying Fox.

Here is the story in summary:
http://worldlibrary.org/article/WHEBN0006192564/Flying%20Fox%20of%20Snowy%20Mountain

His actual name is 'Yim Kei'. As Bad Ass character in story, he put up a lot of super trouble to the other, killed the main character father 'Hu Yai Do' by poison. These why Yim Kei is hiding his actual name by monk costume and called himself as a monk Master 'Bo Shi' - which mean tree of treasure.

Because all his live fell in to treasure hunting. And he stolen a part of KungFu from 'Hu Fei' father.

Concept art attached.

Thank You for a Master David Zhou, who call himself "pp漫游记" in Sina-Weibo.
I'm very happy for who pointed out my problem. And I believed this is a very important action for sharing and discussion start-up.
Start-up is always easiest as we thought.

Here is the place for David Zhou.

Review: Fallschirmjager 200mm Ardiennes c FG42

2014-08-12T20:41:00.000-07:00

The sculpture are fine in such scale but need to be setup and clean a lot because of those poor casting. Head and the low parts of body are the poorest parts specially need first aids. Moreover, Left hand is missing (T.T)~!
Wittmann my friend, who confirmed "Caster make this mistake and wasted this legend model".

I'm 200% believed and agreed. As a collector, he knew well the production from the old day by WARRIORS and S&T model. "And the caster brought those mother molds without fixing, because he never meet a piece like it." Wittmann said.

Anyway, I may fix it out and resculpt some parts and the left hand included.....Nice birthday gift even Wittmann doesn't know that day is my birthday....lol

Thank You, my friend.

It would be stay in the box for longest time.... I'm running away...

Review needed? Fallschirmjager 200mm Ardiennes c FG42

2014-08-07T01:55:00.001-07:00

Stunned when I saw this kit in my friend Wittmann studio. It should be setup by god.
I can't believe I can hold such history kit on my hands. Because I readed some photo of work in progress in a book about. And Wittmann told this is never sell in the market.....and he keeped slient a while... "This is a worse kit he never meet before." he said.

HOW worse is it? I will upload some of parts in here if needed.

Possibility on the creations.

2014-08-06T21:41:00.001-07:00

I think this lion have alot of possibility for conversion or edition on many title...and subject. Sample with a King call Lion heart. whos sitting aside. Or convert it to the warrior in the forest..etc...
Actually, this is not only a step for my next project.

What I need to control my wheel and drive ahead to the intention of my begining mind set.
Not because this is just a Lion. And it JUST can be seating in front of the CEO office table. haha
CEO desk can only put a real sexy girls. lol :D

Mythical creature? Moster? Sorry, Because I don't ready enjoy to sculpting something like that.
Even, I love to collect and paint some greatest Artist works with Fantasy topic.

BUT~! I like it:
