[LH] Ho Chi Minh

[Ekmek]

I wanted to do Gia Long for Lokulus's 1790 scenario but ended up doing Ho Chi Minh. Figuring that anyone can use it for a Vietnamese civ. It uses Genghis Khan's body, Asoka's robe, Mao's animations, and the asian Settler Unit's hat.

I can only imagine what cybrxkhan will have to say about this.

Nice work!

You are on a roll! Very nice!

Who are you planning to do next?

Nice LH, although I may suggest a more contrasted shirt. Right now, it looks as though he has no arms. A great LH though

 

[Kao'chai]

Very nice but the body looks weird

 

[snipperrabbit!!]

I don't think Nguyen Sinh Cung ever weared peasant clothes. Certainly nice LH but he doesn't look close to Ho Chi at all.
Sorry to be picky on a rather good LH.

More elaborate robes with the ability to see where the arms begin and the body ends would make this much better. But I like the way the pieces fit.

This is good, Ekmek. I think I'll keep the version of Ho Chi Mihn I have, but I really like this model and will certainly find a home for it.

I have to break for now. But I did fiddle with making peter's hair blond and giving it to Alexander since most books say he had long blond hair. I can post it if people want it.

I agree. Some new robe textures to give them a higher-class feel and to give better depth would fill out an otherwise excellent LH.

Nice work!

Ho Chi Minh was a communist... BOO!!!

but nice LH anyways.

This is a great start...although I tend to agree that depicting HCM with the peasant's garb isn't quite right. I'd much rather see him in the white suit/grey beard ala the picture in the Wikipedia article.

I am glad someone finally got an HCM leaderhead, at least.

I'm not a communist and I won't say BOO!!! - because I know that originally "Uncle Ho" merely wanted an independent Vietnam, a legitimate desire, which was blatantly ignored by the Western powers at the conference of Versailles after WW I...

Unless you're professor William Duiker, can we please keep political non-sequiturs on Ho Chi Minh in the off topic forum?

Back to the issue at hand, I really would like to use HCM/Vietnam in a mod I'm working on, but I'd really prefer an 'older', less-peasant looking Ho, along the lines of the main picture on wikipedia....
