oh ok...so they must be red only (is it just the movie or they were know historically to be red?

yes  Wolf Knight...it seems i should stick to the far east :P its just for fun with my newly invented switchable naked torso...didnt do any research at all...I will leave the 300 spartans to your realm  ;D

No no I am not saying you should only stick to the far east. I could never confine your fine work. I merely meant that your work is so excellent and these two guys are not that excellent work we got used from you, true they are a first attempt but they can be much better!!

---edit---

Sorry, forgot to say that yes Spartan hoplites were always wearing red cloths, acording to Lycurgus of Sparta, because it would cover the blood in case they got wounded... it also made them look more fierce

dear wolf-knight, honestly, I'm just playing around with this new torso....I did catch your compliments(thanks always!) when you were making constructive suggestions  ;D I do appreciate them.
perhaps youre used to me trying to stay historically accurate that when cheng gets playful, he's taken seriously too  :P
but what you said (always wearing red...according to Lycurgus ....because it would cover the blood) is very interesting...i wonder if the lacquer red samurais did it for the same reaon (besides looking fierce) ;)

Blood actually leaves a brown stain on red clothing...
If they did use their red cloaks for that reason, it didn't work. :hmm:

And if we are all being very historically accurate....
Ancient Greeks would have worn an intricately carved chest plate,
And not have been almost naked.
Though nudity was a big part of the ancient Greeks culture. ::)

The interior gunwales of warships were painted red for the same reason.
