Stumbled over the Luo Mansion! I’m not sure the pavillion and external building in the satallite image is meant to be in some sort of cluster with the courtyard house, but it’s nice to think that it could be.
This set is located in Hengdian’s extremely popular “Along the River During Qingming” filmbase - named for the famous painting of the same name, by Song dynasty artist Zhang Zeduan. I can’t find an aerial photo that adequately shows the set in situ, but here is an official photo of QMSHT that you might find more recognisable from both WOH and any number of other historical-based cdrama:
(“Luo Mansion” is located just out of frame, to the left of the main three-storied building in this shot and the square-roofed building immediately to its left.)
I really love Word of Honor behind the scenes figs - they are such a particularly fun blend of Junzhe with our beloved Wenzhou.
This fig set was inspired by this exact behind-the-scenes footage:
Yep, Zhehan being, well, Zhehan! I love how playful and expressive he is! The actual name of this fig set is from some laughing and joking around between the two of them.
A few more pics:
The classic head-in-hands in the background makes me laugh every time! You can see him in the video that he's not that done with it!
Cuuuuuuuute.
These figs arrived safely in their polystyrene protective cut outs. Good thing too, you'll notice Lao Wen's hairpin is pretty delicate looking!
Lao Wen's fan arrived as a separate piece - I should have taken it out of the plastic so it'd be easier to see! The glare from the window makes it difficult.
You can see here where his hands are cupped in a salute and where the fan would fit. I just put a little bit of museum wax on it and fit it into his hands from the bottom.
And here it is! They really captured Zhehan's expression. Poor Gong Jun looks a little woebegone!
You can see the tie detail here on Zhehan's rough prison robe, as well as the beautiful detail on Gong Jun's luxurious red rescue set.
Ah ha! Here we have the head pat. I like the dimensionality of Zhehan's little scarf thing here, as well as the modeling of Gong Jun's hair.
Zhehan stands beautifully on his nice wide boots. These are probably the largest fig feet get (or at least that I've seen). He's very stable! Gong Jun is of course even more so, as the robes behind him hold him perfectly (crouched) upright.
I like the kind of mottling they did on Zhehan's robe - really plays up hint of roughness and texture. They also modeled the slashes of blood from the whip just so!
One more angle here from the side - they did such a nice job making these detailed but not excessively so.
I love this top-down shot! It's also a nice view of Lao Wen's hairpin.
And a shot from the other side for completeness. I like how they modeled another layer of robes inside Zhehan's sleeve - a really nice touch.
A little close up detail of the hair here. I actually (like many people) like Zhehan's comparatively messy or rather, slightly undone hair in this episode.
One more close up of the fan so you can see the detail a little better.
Beautifully detailed underside here - you can see the modeling care taken on his pants, and the bend in his shoe for his back leg. I really, really love hidden touches like this! It shows the care put into this fig.
A very sweet box card. The box itself was just a plain white box.
If you recall from the previous posts in this series, all of these have optional plastic puzzle pieces that form a larger artwork. Here's the one that went with this set.
And here's all the pieces we've seen to date! Two more figs sets to go.
My mobage piece for the second DZZS Broken Tablet Challenge, hosted again by Serp 😊
(For those unfamiliar, the way BTC works, one person draws something, and then it gets blurred and passed onto the next person to draw something based on it, and so on and so forth. Like a visual telephone game.)
You can find the first BTC I did here. I definitely took way more artistic liberty this time around haha
Go check out the other pieces created! There's more mobage, some wenzhou, junzhe, and zhongxu in there too 🥰
You can find them here!
btw a-han's pose here is referencing this moment from SHL bts hehe
the thing i’m really always thinking about is that shl bts video where gong jun was jokingly like “once you turn evil, eyeshadow is necessary.” playing on loop in my brain as i apply my makeup in the morning
