Being a pirate-captain can have disadvantages... ;D

But with klickies, just a shave, a different hat and another sword can do wonders  :lol:
(though as he still was a pirate only 1 post ago, he isn't too familiar yet with what a rose should look like  ;) )

Very nice!  Make sure he doesn't forget to bathe at least once a year whenever he makes port!

what are his stockings made from?  Is that real fabric?  or painted?
Ahoy, Pirates, Hoist the Colours!

Thanks, guys!

Very nice!  Make sure he doesn't forget to bathe at least once a year whenever he makes port!

That's true!  :lol:

what are his stockings made from?  Is that real fabric?  or painted?

On this one it is "painted", but not with "paint": I use a bottle of fluid-corrector (intended for writing mistakes)  ;D I chose that over paint as the corrector sticks very well, and if I'd ever want to reuse the pants I can scrap the "paint" off again without leaving marks.
Sometimes I use for the stockings adhesive photopaper instead.

I do that with keeping in mind that Playmobil might release such pants in the future, and then I can recuperate the customized ones in their original colour.
This should become the case for the fellow in the picture, as the belgian-netherlands exclusive "3 Black Pete's" set 5040 (to be released in the fall of this year) will include a klicky that comes with these darkblue pants and white stockings.  So I'll probably get a few of those figures to swapp customized pants for the new ones.
