i will post the finished unit (with shield) when i've finally finished it. i might add an ammunition box for his crossbow bolts too, but being a novice adding bits on without any real knowledge of what i'm doing sometimes just crashes the game when the art tries to render. sorry for taking so long (and another bit - i'm terribly verbose)but it's been a wierd time, i'm glad i could put something back into the community. get back to me on the art, do you want anything changed? might look nice with some colourful contemporary dai viet textile texture, but i wouldn't know where to find it . . .
