Fighting monks circa 1900
« on: November 17, 2012, 01:29:43 »
couldn't help myself...had to use the rubber :P
a tiny 'Trivial Pursuit' Question just for fun;
....I've been lamenting about too many shades of each colour,
which brings me to this, "do we really need so many different shades of orange?"
...think there are at least 4 if not more,
so where did his long orange sleeves come from?
(I think there's only 1 klicky that I know..but I may be wrong, maybe there are more ;D)

I don't have any guesses for the source of the arms, but these look cool, cheng. Nice work.

Nice work again, cheng.

I think the main sources for klicky arms with long, orange sleeves are rescue sets and city service

Here are some examples:

very nice looking monks,
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

Tahra, I dont know if there are male rescue klickies with these similar orange shade but yes, here's who I stole them from :P

one more sin to confess;
I removed the sports shoes with shoe-laces...I dont think they knew their mothers taught them to tie shoe laces back in 1900s ;D
