These days, I wanted to make some Cathay soldiers to enforce my empire army. I choose the style of Ming Dynasty in Chinese history. The below is an old painting of Ming cavalry.

First, the cavalry captain.

liuzheng · « **Reply #2 on:** June 08, 2008, 06:55:33 AM »

I changed the weapon later.

liuzheng · « **Reply #3 on:** June 08, 2008, 06:56:29 AM »

And then, the SB.

liuzheng · « **Reply #4 on:** June 08, 2008, 06:57:17 AM »

The cavalry standard bearer is finished.

liuzheng · « **Reply #5 on:** June 08, 2008, 06:58:46 AM »

A Cathayan woman.

WOW, just WOW!!! You have great sculpting Kung fu skills

Were is the jaw dropping smiley when we need it so much. I don't know what else to say Liuzheng, I mean keep them coming as they are great, both sculpting wise and painting wise.

These are really incredible

Liu you sexy beast! You are making me teary eyed at these models! Perry miniatures are the only blokes that have done good 28/35mm fantasy scale Asian models (Japanese and Koreans to be exact); but these guys look great!

Please make tonnes of updates!

Thank you, King and soju. It's a long time after my empire army finished. I made some other minis such as VC, BoC and 40k. But the human of empire is always the lovest one for me. So I am back with new Cathay minis. The China has a long history which is filled with legends and heroes. I want to show you a little of it. Wish you like.

Soju · « **Reply #9 on:** June 08, 2008, 08:22:10 AM »

Damn straight I'm going to like. I saw your other armies on Warseer - you're seriously one talented fella.

You could even have those hopping zombies hahaha... but anyways, I can't wait for any infantry models you'll be doing.

Most people I know don't impress me but...

There is only one army I would die for like I do for Empire (over reaction please...), and that is a Cathay one (made from GW stuff).

I officially hate yer guts (from pure jealousy).

This is just --->

liuzheng · « **Reply #11 on:** June 08, 2008, 08:43:31 AM »

Thanks again, Soju and Shadowlord.

There is a infantry model of Cathay Empire. But the helmet will be changed.

WOW, I second the request for the jaw-dropping smiley. These minis are so cool!

I always dreamed about cathayan army, even tried to write rules for it. If only I had such sculpting skills...

By the way, I see you are using Zvezda infantry bits. Am I right?

Thanks, you just gave me an idea how to use mine Zvezda bits

Siberius · « **Reply #15 on:** June 08, 2008, 11:57:30 AM »

Nice mixing of Empire and Dark Elf bits

This is looking like it is going to be stunning... I can't wait to see more

Gneisenau · « **Reply #16 on:** June 08, 2008, 12:09:28 PM »

Hmmm...

...

Liuzheng, you rock.

I knew already that your painting skills are excellent, but those conversions are magnificent.

Now I've got to look where I dropped my jaw.

steveb · « **Reply #17 on:** June 08, 2008, 02:43:32 PM »

Superb, I am speechless. hen how, liusheng shin shung. steveb

Siamtiger · « **Reply #18 on:** June 08, 2008, 05:26:58 PM »

Good looking miniatures, but wouldn't it be easier and less time consuming using the miniatures from the Perry Twins or so?

imperialforge · « **Reply #19 on:** June 08, 2008, 06:07:50 PM »

W... W... WHOA!

I need to pick up and glue back together my jaw... I might have to pin it...

THOSE ARE BLOODY BRILLIANT!

And I see someone is taking my plastic modeling advice seriously!

Those are seriously beautiful models!
PLEASE, MORE!

Pistol Pete · « **Reply #20 on:** June 08, 2008, 07:16:44 PM »

Outstanding! I really love the little cathayan woman. She's got a lot of personality.

Dino! · « **Reply #21 on:** June 08, 2008, 07:48:35 PM »

I like the soldier. Very chinese looking. Can't wait to see a whole block of these guys. Good luck.

I have only this to add :

thecoldwarrior · « **Reply #23 on:** June 08, 2008, 08:14:43 PM »

What the hell is your problem?!? Also, is it contagious?

fbjorn · « **Reply #24 on:** June 08, 2008, 08:47:25 PM »

The freehand paintings are also just wonderful. I love the womans dress.

By the way, what material do you use for modeling?
