The historical character

Zhu Yuanzhang is a major figure in 14th-century Chinese history. He established the Ming dynasty in 1368 and became its first emperor, known as the Hongwu Emperor. The capture of Nanjing in 1356 marks an important step in his rise during the troubled period that preceded the founding of the new dynasty.

Assembly and painting

This Master Box figure is designed for static model making. Careful preparation of the parts, precise gluing of the components, and the removal of mold lines provide a clean base before painting. Applying a suitable primer then makes it easier to add color and enhances the visibility of the clothing and equipment details.

At a 1/24 scale, the figure lends itself well to work with shadows, highlights, and textures. Accurate painting of the face, clothing, and gear brings depth to this historical portrayal. It can be displayed alone on a base or incorporated into a diorama dedicated to medieval China.
