China’s military past provides a rich variety of infantry, horsemen, commanders and martial traditions. Military discipline and the legends surrounding great leaders both offer scope for historical scenes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLiu Bei contributes a distinct named character, object or action to the range. Its individual role becomes most meaningful when the neighbouring pieces help explain what is happening in the scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe subject adds an individual point of interest to its historical or fictional setting. A carefully placed character gives the viewer someone through whom to imagine the wider story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a display based on a Chinese fortress, training ground or battlefield, position the subject where its role is evident at first glance. Even modest scenery can add depth and atmosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt can be presented independently as a portrait or integrated with related figures. A simple and consistent setting often makes the character more compelling than a crowded background.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt will sit naturally alongside Chinese guards, mounted soldiers, standards and fortifications. Choosing companions from the same historical setting helps keep the story consistent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat makes the subject appealing is the meeting of military history and legendary personalities. These smaller details often hold the viewer’s attention as much as a prominent centrepiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a little consideration for placement and supporting pieces, the subject can become a strong focal point within the collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow available from The Military Workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"King \u0026 Country","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53419485888794,"sku":"IC044","price":84.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/0154\/0890\/files\/IC044.jpg?v=1794304346","url":"https:\/\/themilitaryworkshop.com\/products\/ic044","provider":"The Military Workshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
