Need to make a paper pattern, then find some nice Chinese garments to copy, then print…then…
It's going to take a while! Plus, I have some belated work for Hadoque to finish. I might need your help with the designs.  ;)

Happens to me all the time! Never do this in a rush is my best advice.

finished and here they are as promised!
(they are wearing red amulets around their necks supposedly to make their bodies bullet-proof with disastrous results!)
....thanks again for those stickers, Arnaud!

Impressive! You had them ready waiting for their badges? Or you really work fast?
Oh! And, what's that weapon? some kind of Bengal star?

thanks Gordon!

and Arnaud, I dont know what a 'Bengal Star' is but its supposed to be used like those 'Bolas' thrown by those (Argentinian?) cowboys....could be just for movies...never seen any relics or records about them :P

they sure look like a fearsome bunch.  :) I love what you did with their weaponry, especially the spears.

I think he means the weapon the guy has who is next to the one with the bola-looking chain weapon. It looks like a spiky fan or something.

Exactly! I saw this weapon in a James Bond movie.  Can't tell which, though it was with Sean Connery or Roger Moore. We called it a Bengal star when we were kids, but when I google Bengal star, I only find restaurants and fireworks!  :lol:   :lol:
Best,

I vaguely remember....was it wielded by a huge baldheaded Asian?
