Friar/Monk minifig

Greetings, this mediaeval friar is my first (and only) custom minifig to date. http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p215/soratu/CCCIV/th_friar001.jpg gallery: here (click on "full size" for the clearest view ) It's very basic, but open to a few different uses: an ordinary monk, a character s...
