ancient chinese farmers

[cheng]

not waiting for Geobra
here are 2 farmers during the Qin period (circa 200 BC)
....I added rolled-up thick white cotton (inner shirt visible at the collar) sleeves...not putty nor 'blu-tac' but are genuine PM parts

[Ismene]

Cool, well done!

[cowabounga]

It's the white cuffs, right? Nice!

[cheng]

thanks Ismene

and Arnaud;
nope, not those wrist cuffs...too narrow for upper arms
(unless 'cuffs' also means something else in French )

and, anybody can guess who the dark brown(sleeve) arms are from?

[playmofire]

Nice work, cheng.   

I think the sleeves are bandages (maybe from the horse series) cut in half and the dark brown upper arms are from one of the African figures.  The lower part of the arm has been cut off and replaced by the lower part of a non-African figure's arm.  The rolled up sleeve hides the join between the two arms.

are the dark brown arms the ragged sleeves from a certain pirate?

or someone else who has the same sleeves. for the other part I would also have to say cut Vet bandages

Hello cheng.

Your work with chinese customs is always amazing, congratulations.
But I believe you are the reason that Geobra, has not created yet a Chinese theme.
They can't find new ideas for this and the only thing they can do now is to copy your customs.

Friendly George

spot on for the 'horse bandage' Gordon!
btw I see new bandages next year
...green or brownish but the one on the goose's neck probably is too narrow, still, more new parts to play with
...I was very tempted to cut a pair of arms but then I knew I'll do more (and more and more collateral) damage

and Baron Marshall, our other playmo-authority
BINGO!!
(tell us, did you search 'dark brown arms' in playmoDb or you immediately recognised the mid-length sleeves?)

thank you George!!

and GEOBRA....if youre READING,
PLEASE PLEASE 'COPY'.....Fi?ures series #6 ok? (and a Scot with kilts)
...I will gladly replace all my Asian customs' legs/arms/torsos/hair pieces with your originals and stop making these 'imitations'

I recognized the arms... my first thought was the series 1 female robber... but then I thought they might be curved so that it was probably the pirate...
