Baron, I definitely agree....Venetian gondoliers.
Remove the cannon and replace with long oars and gondola....woooops....is there a PM gondola?  Passengers should be drinking fine wine or champagne, too! Cheers, Pgal :wave:

Yep!
Gondoliers. By default, the small Viking ship could work, wouldn't it?
Best,

For some odd reason, they look vaguely french to me, but I have no idea why. ??? Maybe it's the mustaches. But yeah I agree they could certainly be gondoliers.

Hi Cheng

Very nice, he looks great!  8-)
But I agree with the others; his companions look like Venetian gondoliers!  :lol:

I still have to read most the other speedo-dad threads, I had a quick look on some but not the time yet to have a profond view of them or to react. It seems Speedo-Dad is to be found in almost all Playmo-worlds!  :lol:

Btw, I like the way the cannon looks. I suppose the barrel is painted? Handwork or spraypaint? And which specific brand/color?

that speedo dad seems to be very versatile! :love:
they look very french because of the moustache and stripped shirt stereotype

they do look like venetian gondoliers as well - i made a similar custom a few years ago for a photo contest:



my photo techniques sucked at the time though :-[
and my custom was simpler
