I think the original Romans from Playmobil are quite nice, but there are a few possibilities to "mix around" with them.
-
hey Ralf...I like the second one best...the one with his 'leather' torso :)
very smart idea!!
-
GREAT job Ralf!!!
They are awsome looking! A great Idea! ;D
-
As a Roman fan, I particularly like these customs, Ralf! I agree that Playmobil did an excellent job with their Romans, but they’re from the late Republic and early Empire. Your excellent customs here, however, are from an earlier period that Playmobil did not touch upon and thus they make wonderful complements to Playmobil’s stock klickies.
Your velite is perfect! How about a rank of 10 or so of them? ;)
I like your leather armored soldier with his sash. He would make a great optio and is a nice contrast to the heavily armored Romans.
In your last picture, your Republican soldiers look very authentic! The crests are spot on and I love the bronze helmets and greaves! Your signifier or cornicen looks great too! Well done!
-
Thanks a lot!
-
It looks as if we're into the Empire now. Very nice customs, Ralf!
-
WOW!
Great new customs Ralf!
I was wondering where you got the ideas for these Romans when Justindo mentioned the early republic!
I hit myself on the head for not realising! ::)
They are supearb! I never even thought of making Early Republic Romans,
but now that I see them I want them so bad!!!
What a great job!!! :o :o :o
-
As those guys seem to please....let's go on:
-
Great new creations Ralf!!!
I like the new legionnaires,
I am making some myself after seeing yours... :-\ ;D
-
These are very nice, Ralf. I like your variety of troops and your soldiers in undress.
-
...
-
Awsome new groups Ralf!!! ;D
Ireally like the last group,
Do you ever make your customs in a larger quantity?
Like, do you make more than the 2 or 3 you show us?
Whole centuries and the what-not? ;D
-
Excellent customs, once again, Ralf! I like the color variety in the first group, the men in undress in the second group, and the officer in the third group. Is the last group supposed to be Praetorians? They look great! :)
-
Excellent customs Ralf! They are all great customs!
Baden :)
-
Excellent colour schemes, part combinations and boxes.

Time to put a few new sets here on the shelf:
-
Amazing customs Ralf! :o
Wonderful job again. :)
-
Nice Praetorians and Barbarians, Ralf! I really like the shoes and arm tattoo on the last one. Do you know what sets or klickies they are from?
-
Picturesque.
H_M
-
Sorry Justindo, no idea where the parts come from.
-
WOW! :o :o :o
SO COOL! They are great Ralf.
Wonderful job. :) :) :)

Someone said once that there is nothing to be customized with the romans. I had believed him for a long time. There are a few very nice ones among your latest figures.

I like this last batch of customs a lot, Ralf! :)
Thanks for the information, henry_martini! :)

could have been me-who-have-no-knowledge-of-Roman-history :P
almost lunchtime...will need a big glass of coke to wash down my words :D
thanks Ralf...will dust my Romans tonight and play with them in my big 'closet' ;D

¿What idiot said that? I only have a half-dozen or so, but I’ve customized mine already. In fact, I even customized my old ones (the ones with the white skirts).
-
¿What idiot said that?
maybe it wasn't me :P...hopefully Henri-M cant recall who said that ;D :D

Stunning! These new ones are magnificent!!! :o :o :o
I really like the blue guys. :)
-
I like your latest Romans, Ralf! :)
-
Happy that you like them.
-
Looks like staff for my upcoming Adrianople theme. ;D
-
Your new Centurions are awe-inspiring! (http://www.klickywelt.de/images/smilies/staun02.gif)
Especially the two on the left. (http://www.gardenwargamer.com/images/bowdown.gif)
I really like your chief barbarian (or, the one in the middle)
in your first set.
The centurion armor was a brilliant idea! :o :o :o
-
Great centurions and barbarians, Ralf! :)
-
...
-
Your latest batch of customs are fantastic, Ralf! Your barbarians look good and I really like your last three Arabians or North Africans. :)
-
....
-
Magnifico! ;D
I love the last one, he is very roman
with the two vertical stripes on his tunic. :)
Great job. :)
-
A very nice group of diverse customs, Ralf! :)
-

A different part of the world, 8)
It is a refreshing change Ralf,
and your customs are superb! ;D
I really like the blue guy. :o

Am I right in guessing roman auxiliary units?
Or some peasant infantry? ???
(Did later period Romans have that, I know that had that in early period...)
-
They might be sling shot romans
-
Excellent Egyptians and Romans, Ralf. The latter look like militia or could be light auxiliaries equipped with javelins or slingshots.
-
I thought they were simple Roman soldiers in their freetime-dress....
-
I thought they were simple Roman soldiers in their freetime-dress....
Or this, yes! :)
-
I thought they were simple Roman soldiers in their freetime-dress....
Ingenious in that I cannot think of anyone else who has made off duty Roman soldiers,
Great idea Ralf. :)
-
..........
-
very refreshing just seeing this creation..thanks Ralf! :)
-
WOW! :o What I would give for a troop of these guys! ;D
Unfortunately what I would give, and what I could give are too far apart. :P
I agree with Cheng, thanks for the update. :)

Hi Ralf,
Fantastic custom, as usual!
I'm guessing late Roman (4th, maybe even 5th century?) scout or light cavalryman, serving somewhere along a northern frontier. But I'm no expert. No matter when he's from, he looks great!
Cheers,
AndrewL
-
He could be a very early peasant soldier, but the horse does lean towards your theory Andrew. :)
Either way, I think he looks magnificent!
-
Nice custom, Ralf!
I agree with Andrew's assessment.
-
Two simple ones:
-
Superb! ;D
I love your warrior (gual?)! :o
-
Not bad.
Two simple ones:
I am so looking forward to the not so simple ones. ;D

2 more nice figures! ;)
putting the skin over the cape looks good!
and Ralf, or any GW friends,...who is the left grey legs from?
-
@cheng: the legs belong to some US-knight (I got him via DS).
-
That hair actually works well, Ralf, and is somewhat historically accurate! :)
-
I just noticed the hair; Oh WOOOOOW…
-
WOW!!! I must make this spiky-haired guy someday! and thanks Ralf!
(I presume you used the naked tattooed pirate torso too?)
-
Fantastic! The Gauls are very fun to customize! :)

Assyria was never so alive since 2500 years. Brilliant ideas and part combinations.

Wonderful new customs, Ralf! :)

Ralf, you must print a your own catalogue of these amazing customs of yours....If I were ever to retire and find the time, just adding a couple of your themes to my shelves will give me more years of Playmo-customising pleasure!
thank you for sharing and continuing to share!
