2 of my pikemen ( ::) mind the thread title) negotiating an affair of honour during leisure time.

...and most of all the combination with those varied black hats!
just beautiful...what can be just 'rehashed' from these playmo parts!  :)

I found an old tipee with enough poles. They are not really suitable as already stated some time ago, but I want to give an impression how it might look. Maybe I can improve the poles by some orthopedic measures.

I remember asking you all about options for long poles (even as far back as when I was making merry men with wooden staff) but even with new safari themes...the perfect PM part is still elusive...looks like your old teepee poles are still the best option...

i remember having a few small PVC Japanese flower ports hanging from 3 plastic 'stirrups' unfortunately I cant find them anymore (mine was white anyway and spent too much time in the sun and probably thrown away) I've got red/brown ones but the 'stirrups' are casted like twisted strings/cords. so my search goes on....
