The thread for all those little sets which belong......right here.
-
I like him! He could fit in a number of places in a number of periods. What did you have in mind when you created him?
-
@Justindo: I had nothing specific in mind, just something cold, maybe something about Russia...
-
I was thinking Russia too.

Me too ... ;D

For those, who are interested in 1900-sets: http://www.klickywelt.de/anno-dazumal-t39896.html
For the rest: a historic postman and ......

Great customs Ralf!
I really like your Russian, and your postman is beautiful!
-
I love the Russian guy! Can almost feel the cold right now!
-
The new red coats inspired me to work on a soldier for the period around 1700, probably a guy fighting on the fields of Blenheim or maybe a bit eralier at the Battle of the Boyne.
-
WOW! :o :o :o
I really like the long coat... isn't it from the Santa set? :o
(Someone isn't getting any presents this year. ;) )
The cuffs are great, I didn't know they made large blue cuffs.
What set are they from? ???
Really great job once again! ;D
-
That's a truly excellent looking soldier, Ralf! :)
-
I am considering these coats as a missed opportunity but on your soldier it looks good.

Not my theme(s), but excellent examples of what can be done with original parts. As many have said before: it's a shame Geobra doesn't have you in their design department!
Cheers,

Hi WoT,
I think the cuffs are probably these: 30 06 0890 - Cuff, wide (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-06-0890), which I know best from this set: 3652 - Tournament Knights With Viewing Stand (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=3652&pics=on), but apparently they've been used in some other sets as well.
Cheers,
AndrewL

Good looking modern customs, Ralf! :)
-
...after the modern ones a few older sets.
-
I really like your officer and soldier here, Ralf! :)
-
I love the modern customs! :o
And these new ones are good too. ;D
Where did you get the helmet for the WWII or Vietnam war soldier? :)
-
I think the helmet belonged to a motorcyclist?
-
Nice new figures. ;D
2 not so lone rangers. ;)
-
...
-
I especially like your first one... Very colorful! ;D ;)
I think you did an excellent job on the modern (?) soldier. :o
-
I particularly like the first one in your last post, but the second one looks like he came straight out of Raiders of the Lost Ark! :)
-
I might get annoying asking these questions but...
Where did you get the hat from the modern soldier? :)
-
The hat belongs to a rather old paramedic.
-
The hat belongs to a rather old paramedic.
Thank you.
I love your new figures!
Especially your Saracens. :o
-
I really like your Saracens, Ralf! :)
-
I really like your Saracens, Ralf! :)
Same here. ;D

-
No specials but they do not fit into my other series and there will be no more sets for this topic.....so I put them here: Prussian infantry and dragoons around 1870.
-
They look very nice! ;D
I love those pickelhaube helms. :o
They are nicer with the Eagle though, methinks. ;)
-
Thank you for the prussians. :)
Among them the dragoons are most excellent.
-
...
-
Very good Prussians, Ralf! :)
-
I love how his pants and collar match. :)
Excellent! :o
-
...........
-
Excellent viking, I love the use of the green shield with that shirt, :o
I hadn't thought of that combination. :)
And I really like your German(?) soldier, he looks very nice. ;D
-
Both of these look wonderful, Ralf, although I particularly like the Viking.
-
I don't know where he is from but now he is here:
-
I don't know either, Ralf, but he looks good! :)
-

Gurkhas!!! :o I swoon...
-
Gurkhas!!! :o I swoon...
GIVE HIM A KUKRI! ;)
nice customs again Ralf! :)
-
Didn't know about Gurkhas until today.
It is cool to learn new things, and see new customs. ;)
Great job! I really like the first one!
Black and silver uniforms are number 1!!! ;)
-
Thanks a lot for your kind words:
-
I am undecided if it is 80ies german army (because of the mustache) or guard of some latin american presidente (because of the mustache). Due to the background I guess he has to be from abroad.

LOL! ;D
I too believe it is a soldier abroad, for your same reasons.

Three times perfect.
-
hey Ralf..which klicky is the light grey rolled up sleeves from? too light to match the old ambulance men's torso right?
-
Dear cheng, the arms belong to one of the newer adventurers. And the grey is indeed light as you can see when you compare it to his cap, which is the colour you were looking for.
-
thanks Ralf (asche auf meine kopf?) and if you had wanted to rub off 1 pair of pockets, which pair would you have retained? (they did have 4 breast pockets but the 2 large ones were below their belts right?) but I can see why you didnt...either pair would look very odd without the other, being too high or too low :P
aber my choice would be to erase the upper pair and put those old huge grey PM lapels under his neck ;)
-
Another set from the late 17th century. Dutch soldiers fighting for the English King William (e.g. at the Battle of the Boyne):
-
These last four and the previous three customs look superb, Ralf! :)
-
Don't know where he belongs, but he seemd to "work".
-
Andreas Hofer and ....maybe King Arthur?

Chalcolithic?

Leiwand. :)

Personal favorite (so far).

We need an International Schenk Collectors Club that goes for the relaunch of discontinued sets. :-D
One question: Does the blue of the new kepi match exactly the existing blue parts?
-
The blue seems to be "the old one", matching older (and of course new) western sets and it is not the "fresher" blue of other recent sets. So it is no problem finding matching pants (just avoid the specials) but collars and cuffs are a bit different but is looks ok to me (not as bad as the different dark blues)
-
exquisite 'singles' box customs once again, Ralf.
could you tell me what cap decoration you are representing with the new blue cap (with the wreath)
(and thanks Michael, I was about to ask how Ralf attached the black 'brushes' to the black helmets)
-
@cheng: in a perfect world there would be no decoration on the cap but I was just to lazy to use the rubber.
-
Superb! They all look amazing, :o
but I am stunned by the helmets on the Frankreich 1870 sets...
Where are those from? ??? :)
-
The helmets are old ones from "Schenk"....still original parts in some way.
-
.............
-
This is the very first time I miss green epaulettes. :)
-
I love your Prussians, Cavalrymen, and Musketeers, Ralf! Superb, all! :)

Even being not (visibly) armed those last 4 frighten me the most. ;D

simply MARVELOUS!!
and all with PM parts (except for the calvary man's helmet)
your ability to make an instantly recognisable HK policeman and even the soldier in the 'Last Samurai' while I faced so many challenges customising them, puts me to shame!
please go on...I await your magic with the recently launched Asians!

Did these two some time ago inspired by some picture from the web....cannot remember for sure, they might be Sardinian?

Ah! ça ira, ça ira, ça ira, ... ;D

Early 20th century, Belgian on a bike, Italian in winter dress:
-
Here is the Belgian one:
-
The new red cap made them possible: French Grenadier and Chasseur d'Afrique
-
Nice additions to the 1870 theme. I hope one day these new black prussian helmets will become available ...
-
THE NEW HELMETS !
-
And for the French side: a member of the National Guard Paris.
-
Had to do SOMETHING with the old helmets.
-
Seamen (without specific reference):
-
............
-
No reference but the parts came together nicely.
-
All one needs to start a FPW. ;D
I'm only disappointed about geobra that neither the specific french red kepi nor the black prussian pickelhaube are available without hassle. :P But I shall not complain too much since they finally released the brown bandolier. :)

Ralf,
Thank you so very much for continuing to post your incredibly magnificent creations here at GW-PC!
All the best my friend,

Ralf,
Thanks again for continuing to post here at GW-PC!
The posts for "product suggestions" at the PCC seem to indicate that there is still a lot of interest among the fans and collectors for Geobra to make more Playmobil toy soldiers. Thanks to your continuing inspiration, we can always have hope that they're also seeing and paying attention in Zirndorf!
All the best my friend,
Richard
