Title: 18th century nobility & civilians - part II
Post by: Hadoque on February 09, 2012, 01:02:39
Past months I've been busy with more figures for my 18th-century harbourtown. Here are some more civilians and nobels, most of them are customs though not all.
And a few are updates (with new wigs or trousers f.e.) from customs I've shown before...

Erwin, your creations look magnificent!  Your nobles and their ladies look so noble and I love the rest of your customs.  The new wigs and breeches with stockings are great additions.

My only suggestion would be to perhaps use the new wigs a bit more sparingly with your civilians.  I personally plan to use these new wigs, even though I currently only have one :'(, for my high ranking officers while my lower ranking officers will make do with the older wig style, which is still quite nice.  Regardless, all your customs look really superb.

They're great...

Can you get the silly wig by itself? Or did you get a bunch of those klickys?

Yes, if you know a kind person at your local DS who will provide you the partnumber.  ;)
There is also an ebayer on the German site (I speak German with him) who sells them loose, and I bought "a reasonable amount" of these wigs from him.

I don't use them on all civilians, just the "upperclass" civilians. I still have the older versions without the scrolls on the side and use them as well, for "less wealthy civilians" and indeed for lower-rank officers. The courtmaster f.e. (5th pic) has a wig without sidescrolls, as he is a servant and thus lower class.
These wigs were quite a fashion in the 18th century, and all the richies wore them. The bigger the wigs were and the more sidescrolls they had, the richer the wearer was supposed to be. The ladies wore sometimes very high wigs, which made it very uncomfortable to balance when walking.

Care to share?

My "local DS" is so kind they won't even answer the mail.

Quite right, Erwin, hence the term "bigwig".

I think silly wig is more appropriate...  :P  Why would anyone use THAT?
