Perry Choson Korean Mounted Commanders - WIP

Need to add their bows/quivers to them, as well as their mounts, but wanted to post some WIP photos. These two are from the same set as the earlier Kwon Yul figure.
The set of commanders are supposed to represent Kwon Yul, Cho Hon and Yi Pok-Nam - three of the more celebrated and successful Korean commanders during the Imjin War. Other than the way they are listed and arranged in the Perry website photo - there really isn't anything indicating who is who. All of their armor is very similar, as well as the facial features.
The guy above has a golden fan which could be the one that belonged to Kurushima Michiyuki and lost , along with his head, at the Battle of Dangpo.

  7. Fantastic miniatures. Not only nthe painting is to the very highest standard, I also like the detail with the fan - I've read that, too, but I didn't catch the connection with the perries figure design. Thanks for the hint!

  8. I don't know Dean...but I am starting to think that you have a secret Malaysian sweat-shop hidden in your garage. No accusations or condemnations here, I just want to know you keep their little hands working day and night (and were I can score a couple for myself).

    No...all kidding aside, your figs look great, as always.
