Thank you  :). This entire project set in the early XVIIth century is a great joy to work on I must say. Now I'm finishing a noble from Cairo based on Sloan's costumebook from 1620s and theb I'll return to researching XVIIth century urban architecture ;p.

Thank you :). I've found information about bohemian burghers' dress from early XVIIth century - they wore hungarian dress, so I'll sculpt or convert a few;p. But I'll need to do a bit more research.

What you're doing is really tremendous, and, I imagine, totally unique.

Thank you :), I think (hope) that this is my last warband for the Prague project, still have to finish Dalmatian mercenary for them as well as work on the burghers in hungarian attire.

You need extra congratulations for the rare historical information you are gathering and for your efforts to sculpt figures as accurate as possible!

Thank you :), I'm lucky that during XVIth-XVIIth century was the period of extensive publishing of costume books, so those informations are not as rare as they seem :).
