hopefully they get here Friday, which means i can begin work on them then, the images on the website i ordered them from have them mostly painted up in a very dark red color, which looks to me to be very similar to "mechrite red" and i think i'll properly paint them as that as well for two reasons mostly: Looks pretty nice, and more importantly i have an abundance of red paints (thank you Romans) 
also i found this website that looks to be very good for terrain making supplies, so subsequently i'm going to scratch build some terrain for this hypothetical scenario of mine, probably going to be han Chinese style (need to do more research) but it will mostly probably some sort of farmstead (see below), perhaps if i get motivated enough a fort
okay perhaps i'm getting slightly ahead of myself here :L anyway i'm very much looking forward to cracking on with this project, if anybody stumbles across any information that may be of use to me then please post it up...
cheers, Henry
Earlier I said something about making a farmstead, i think a simple rice paddy as is depicted in the following image will be a good starting point:
In fact, upon checking the Wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_an ... an_Dynasty
it appears i'm in luck in regards to terrain ideas, as it appears that the han made lots miniatures of there buildings!
ordered first class on the 4th aswell 
However in lighter news my blue foam arrived today so it's time to start work on my rice paddy 
ill paint them up sooon
