Thanks Panos  :)

But I suppose you're not so thrilled about the legs/pants?
It was the dresscode of the era though (see the additional historical pics of uniforms in the French captains' thread  ;) )

I like the use of pants here. I see their historical accuracy, it just did not seem right on the captains, but after your explanation, Erwin, I can understand their use  :yup:

VERY nice! Perfect for "civilian" medieval scenes.
Cheers!

Very good customs, Erwin, but I'm not sure that the first one really looks like a nobleman, maybe a personal servant, the major domo perhaps.

The "barley twist" cane held by the second figure really looks good and makes him look like a dandy.
