Post by: Hadoque on September 28, 2011, 04:04:04

Perhaps I've shown similar looking guys before, I'm not sure  8}  ;D
Anyway, I've updated 2 guys from my collection with the new kneetrousers-with-stockings-legs...

Thanks Panos  :)

But I suppose you're not so thrilled about the legs/pants?
It was the dresscode of the era though (see the additional historical pics of uniforms in the French captains' thread  ;) )

I like the use of pants here. I see their historical accuracy, it just did not seem right on the captains, but after your explanation, Erwin, I can understand their use  :yup:

VERY nice! Perfect for "civilian" medieval scenes.

Very good customs, Erwin, but I'm not sure that the first one really looks like a nobleman, maybe a personal servant, the major domo perhaps.

The "barley twist" cane held by the second figure really looks good and makes him look like a dandy.

They look great Hadoque! Those pants are really great in that use, perfect, actually!

thanks folks!

Yes, the 1st one is a little less "noble" then the 2nd figure  ;D
My idea was not to use the 1st one as a servant though, but as a middle-class civilian, while the 2nd one indeed is a "dandy" as Playmofire suggested.  :)

That would work well, too, but remember that the nobleman's personal servant could be very influential and powerful so it was an important role.
