Back to the Barter system, these poor peasants would never see Gold coins. This is the only Tax guy I have liked so far in my life^&grin. He spans the era's almost to current times, a great figure and displayed cleverly here. Robin.

Thank you Robin.

I agree, "great figure".

I thought of you when I leaned Little John's quarter staff against the wall beside him.

One of the great things about the Forum, is the motivation provided by postings of yourself, 'mikemiller1955' and so very many others.
One of the issues I face in scenes like these is a lack of drinking cups. I came across some sticks in our 'Tea' cupboard and I thought if I cut off the end, put a small hole in the top with a 'Pin Vise' and apply some gloss varnish, wouldn't look too bad.
The challenge is, due to their size, and my olde fat fingers, getting them to stand on the tables.

Great scene and neat idea for the cups. I would give them a lick of silver paint (with a titch of black added) so they look like pewter

Thank you Robin.

I love it... I recognize the one female figure as a K&C, what is the other with the eggs??

Thank you.

Yes the K&C females are “The Maid” (NA348), “Bread and Beer Seller” (PnM048), and the woman from “Poor down-trodden peasants" set (RH023). The woman with the "eggs" is a converted Conte figure from the “Pirate Women” set (PIR021), with HISTOREX bird (Chicken ?) and basket, with scratch built eggs.

So that is one female no one else has, but would make a great model for Andy to copy I am sure. Robin.

how was the issue resolved?

I agree, that's a clever idea. Another possibility for color could be a brown or reddish-brown, for pottery. Or even leave them as wood. Poor folk might not have afforded more.

It's a great scene-it reminds me of the montage of scenes at the beginning of Michael Curtiz' "The Adventures of Robin Hood." That collector should watch out, he's liable to get a cloth-yard shaft in the chest!

Prost!

Wonderful, fun diorama, that tells a story, with great attention to detail. I can tell that you really enjoyed making this one. I enjoyed viewing it.

Well done, lots of action and many of them can be interpreted in different ways. The image of Robin Hood is interesting.

I think you are referring to Little John who would have looked better holding a staff, instead of his hands folded. I am still very fond of this series, brings back childhood memories. Robin.
