The sequel to the now hidden project which is still one of my favourites:
-
Turkish infantry:
-
Ralf, I'm pleased to see your excellent series continue. These are all magnificent! :)
-
Great customs Ralf!
I really like your Egyptians! :)
-
...
-
These look really great, Ralf!
-
Cool customs Ralf!
I like the last photo alot! :)
-
I really found a source where they show French infantry with red trousers for this period. The other two men are members of the Indigenous Guides (also called Omar's Company) in French service.
-
Great new customs Specialist!
-
...
-
That battle scene is excellent, Ralf! Your guards look good too. The last two photos are quite good too, as if they are of two leaders and their bodyguard and a leader and his bodyguard.
-
I love these new "sets" that you have created Ralf! Amazing!!!
-
Two more sets for the "Dromedaires" showing campaign and parade dress.
-
WOW!
Your camels are excellent! (http://playsued.forumprofi.de/images/smilies/cb.gif)
Great job again.
-
Your dromedaries look great, Ralf! I really like the contrast between campaign and parade dress.
I see you're using the old style dromedaries, saddles, and bridles. Do you have any experience with the new ones? I've found the saddles stay on the camels much better and the klickies stay on the saddles much better. Still, the old saddles look great.
-
another beautiful set of soldiers, Ralf ! :)
are those "Dromedaires" campaign dress torsos originals? :P
-
@cheng: the use of a rubber can make dreams come true (it is a cook, don't know from which set).
-
Very nice job
Torsos are: http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-00-6320

@cheng: the use of a rubber can make dreams come true (it is a cook, don't know from which set).
thanks Ralf! I must remember "Ralf and his Rubber" before I ask such questions next time :D ...you have done that many times :P and I still say much as your idea is another candidate for playmo-customs-invention-nobel prize, I still cant bring myself to do it because buying playmo is challenging & expensive from where I live ;D
...but I'll take a long look at all my chinese/japanese customs and see if Rub-it-like-Ralf would make some new possibilities ;)
and Argand,
thanks for showing me this cook...I would never have guessed :)
-
Like cheng's asians make up my mind about asia I think always of your boxes when it comes to napoleon in egypt, Denon or even the Rosetta stone. ;D
Looking for some reference about the dromedaires I found this website
http://www.allworldwars.com/French%20Army%20from%20Revolution%20to%20the%20First%20Empire%20by%20Hippolyte%20Bellange.html
(http://www.allworldwars.com/French%20Army%20from%20Revolution%20to%20the%20First%20Empire%20by%20Hippolyte%20Bellange.html) The first one seems to be specialist himself, a dromedaire is on the 6th picture from top. Stunning great rendition of the details and overall appearence as always. Chapeau!

Time to show a few new sets for my everlasting an maybe favourite topic. I am absolutely into those shoulder-parts and tried to let them look like colourful sleeves/vests.
-
Magnificent job with the shoulder parts Ralf! 8)
Your plans for them worked amazingly. :)
-
if only colours can blind their enemies, their enemies wouldnt stand a chance ;D
colourful customs, Ralf!
-
Especially your last set encourages me to put a few trousers I regularly have put aside to new use. :)
As always looking forward to the next sets

-
These latest sets are so beautiful and colorful, Ralf! :)
-
Time for some new sets to this series:
-
These latest creations are magnificent, Ralf! You've really captured the period well with your customs and the first scene is quite humorous. :)
-
New version of Indian Sepoys in British service:
-

The "Coptic Legion" in French service and some of their enemies.

One can never have enough mamluks.

It boggles the mind ... Almost unbelievable that you still have more possible combinations in this series!
And, what's even more incredible is that they seem to keep getting better and better ...
Ralf, thank you for continuing to share your wonderful customs.
-
Ralf, I hope you will someday open a Playmo-historical museum...we will have to take hours to walk through and take mental pictures if you put up signs saying "no photography allowed"
..tell us, do you yourself spend hours looking at your own creations when you have the time?

Yet again esp. your last pictures catch as perfect as can be the feel of the epoch (at least from an european/western viewpoint). Orientalism at its best. :-)
-
I give up! how did you make the three officers' red/gold torsos, Ralf?
-
@cheng: those parts are from Schenk, a Hungarian(?) copy of Playmobil long discontinued, but sometimes you find some on ebay.
-
A scene from the Battle at the Pyramids. 267 French (at this early stage of the campaign still in their "European" uniforms) vs. 157 Mameluks and 53 Arabs on foot.
