Hello,
hey why you don't want to use this 40 animation villager model??
It has all the good attachment points and all the footman's animations, plus some extra animations in the case you want to use a 2 handed weapon for example. (it doesn't come with any armour, nor weapons)
In the case you don't like the villagers head, just ask to someone that can put the footman's head in the model I told you.
PS: also the footman model doesn't have the correct size so many attachments here on the hive won't fit him correctly.
