The Romance of the 3 Kingdoms
was the most legendary and romantic period (184-280AD) in the ancient China history,at that time
the Emperor of Han Dynasty was very weak,and the country was split by various warlords.After
decades of tough wars and fights.3 heros wiped out other competitors and survived.Lord Cao Cao,
who is the king of Kingdom Wei and the prime minister of the empire,controlled the northern China,
which is nearly half of the whole country.The emperor of Han became his puppet.Lord Sun Quan,king
of Kingdom Wu,inherited his territory of southeast China from his mighty warlord father and elder
brother.And Lord Liu Bei who is a decendent of one of the princes of the first Emperor of the Han
Dynasty,determined to honour the glory of his ancesters and liberate the Emperor from the hand of
Lord Cao Cao.He estalibed his kingdom Shuhan from scatch with the assistance of his genius
cheif counsellor and 5-Tiger-like knights,and finally controlled the Southwest China.

The names and legends of those heros have been going round & round for centuries after centuries.Even up till
today,there are still a lot of books,pc games telling their stories...

My goodness! Do you make all of those custom weapons and helmets, etc. on your own or do you buy them somewhere? They are excellent works either way, and I would love to get my hand on some of those winged helmets and that bow. These are fantastic minifigures you have here!

Tks for yr kind comment,most of the helmets were hand made by putty based on orignal lego parts or brickforge parts
bodywears were also some combination based on lego and bricktw parts.
Weapons were made from some stikfas,bestlock,oxford and Gundam parts with some mix for lego parts and putty.

Very good customisation work, you have done there.

The whole illustration of Guan Yu is excellent, especially the long menacing guan-dao that has slaughter thousands and thousands of enemies. I am a fan of ROTK (Romance of the Three Kingdoms) and seeing such customised minifigs like this, simply made my day. :)

Wow. Those are great. I was a big fan of Sango Fighter on DOS as a kid, and always enjoyed Guan Yu. Nice work.
