Chinese fisherman
« on: October 08, 2012, 09:44:21 »
just a simple custom (I wanted to give him rolled-up trouser legs but dont have the parts I need) :P

not really a complaint but I just wanted to say that sometimes Geobra doesn't need to be so detailed, for e.g., those new rolled-up sleeves with a strap and button each, are now becoming a mainstay with many new klickies, even those who could have more correctly used just a plain roll-up sleeve like what I just made which would have been so versatile for many themes from ancient to even western. Why those buttons? ::) :'(

Simple can so often be best, cheng, and this one is a real gem!"     Elegantly simple!   (That's what I usd to aim for when writing computer programs, but people only really wanted a quick fix!)   :wave:

Again a nice looking custom, Cheng!

sometimes Geobra doesn't need to be so detailed, for e.g., those new rolled-up sleeves with a strap and button each, are now becoming a mainstay with many new klickies, even those who could have more correctly used just a plain roll-up sleeve like what I just made which would have been so versatile for many themes from ancient to even western. Why those buttons? ::) :'(

Exactly my thoughts! I'm using those strap-button rolled-up sleeves on some (late) 18th century figures (like civilians, workmen etc) as the standard short sleeves just look too much like present-day fashion.
But the strap with button isn't really correct either for historical customs, so if they would make a version without it, such sleeves would be useful for all historical themes...

Resistance is futile, you will be boarded!

thanks my Palymofriends! :love:

...the strap with button isn't really correct either for historical customs...

We serious customisers need to huddle and cuddle sometimes :'( console each's frustration sometimes and keep hoping that someday Geobra will make a rolled up sleeve without that strap & button ;)
Its even rare on present-day shirts...does anybody here have such a strapped shirt sleeve in his/her cupboard? ...and nine other shirts without? :lol:

why why waste a mould design for such an un-versatile part? and now using it and  spoiling so many new klickies (the new checkered shirt cowboy is like the beautiful Toy Story cowboy but spoilt by this sleeve design)

has anyone tried removing the straps and buttons? I will, when desperate enough someday but definitely not for the new cowboy because of his nice prints on his sleeves :-\

Very nice fisherman!

I actually like the strap and button sleeves, but I totally agree that a plain rolled up sleeve would have been a lot more versatile. I have had a couple of shirts with sleeves like that, but it is pretty rare.
