Wu Navy Commander - Zhou Yu

Intoducing Commander Zhou Yu, the first strategist of the Kingdom of Wu. Together with sworn brother Sun Ce, they both build the foundation of the Kingdom of Wu after the fall of Sun Jian. He help Sun Ce to eliminate Liu Yong who took Wu when Sun Jian was killed by Huang Zu, Liu Biao's vassal. He manage to device strategy for Sun Ce to succesfully employ Taishi Ci who was originally Liu Yong's vassal. He also assisted Sun Ce to avenge his father Sun Jian in the Battle of Jiang Xia. He managed to encourage the mighty pirate general Gan Ning to defect to Sun Ce's side.Huang Zu was later killed in the process. When Sun Ce was on his deathbed due to injury, he advise Sun Quan to consult Zhou Yu on external affairs and consult Zhang Zhao on internal affairs. Zhou Yu thus was made Supreme Commander at the young age of 26

Zhou Yu is also a zither player and is said to be blessed with good looks. He married Xiao Qiao, a great beauty and one of the 2 Qiao Sisters. Legend says even the prettiest flower will bow in shame when it sees the beauty of the 2 Qiaos.

Zhou Yu's biggest contribution would be the Battle of Red Cliff. He successfuly collaborated with Zhuge Liang to devise a trick to annihilate Cao Cao.How he do it, I won't elaborate. Go watch the movie Red Cliff for better understanding. The movie is quite correct when it comes to the account of Zhou Yu's life.

Zhou Yu is modeled after a Hyakushiki. Overall it is quite a good model and cheap for a model because it comes with a large arsenal of weapon. It comes with a sword, bow, Juggernaut and some others. The weapons can be assembled (see picture above) into a Ballista Missile Launcher. The only problem is the colour. The original yellow it comes with sucks like hell. But no worries, this prob can be easily solve with a layer of chrome yellow, gold orany metallic colour. I opt for chrome yellow (:

In short, its worth buying as long as one can do something with its colour which supppose to be brighter. Blog this when I'm really sleepy. Don't mind of there's typing error(:
