Xiahou Brothers - Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan

Xiahou Dun (right) and Xiahou Yuan (left) are brothers and Cao Cao's cousins. They have fight alongside Cao Cao since the very first battle. I don't really like either of them so the post will be short. However, must give credit that they are both strong fighters. Xiahou Yuan is a great archer. He participated in many battle but met his demise in Battle of Mount Ding Jun when Huang Zhong, one of Shu's Five Tiger General hacked him to death. Xiahou Dun is the elder brother. In the battle against Lu Bu, He took on both Generals Gao Shun and Cao Xing in a duel. In the confusion he was shot in one of his eys. Instead of faltering he pluck out the arrow and swallow his eye as he thinks its something his mother gave him with his birth. His bravery shocked Gao Shun and Cao Xing and both generals tried to escape. Xiahou Dun chase them down and killed Cao Xing. Gao Shun escaped with injuries. He also managed to catch up with Guan Yu when he's trying to escape. His might is on par with Guan Yu. Before a victor can be decided, Cao Cao's messenger came to stop the fight.

Xiahou Yuan's model is shaped after Dallas. A very very troublesome model to make due to its helf and other parts. Requires lots of hardwork. Its the hardest so far. And I screwed up because I sprayed too much top coat on it. >.< But from this model I knew blue plus red becomes purple *chuckles* The colour is actually dark red and black. But it was suggested that making it purple and black will look better so it will be similar to Xiahou Dun. So one can see the colour greatly contrast the colour of the Xiahou Yuan on the box (1st picture).

The Xiahou Dun model is shaped ofter Guilos on the other hand. I actually finish this model ages ago. but didn't blog about it till now as its a poor display of work. Equally troublesome also. I think its due to the mixture of colours. Black and Purple. Not really the best combination
