Post by: Richard on October 10, 2011, 11:20:23 PM: Hello Garden Wargamers ... (http://www.gardenwargamer.com/images/wave.gif)

David Hamer (aka warrensde) has created some great Playmobil customs from this period.

Here are a couple of photos. Would everyone like to see more? ... (http://www.gardenwargamer.com/images/grinklicky.gif)

OK ... Here a few more photos of David's Seven Years War Playmobil customs.
(NOTE: David sculpted the original mitre hat for his Prussian Grenadiers and sent it to me so that I could create a mould and send him back the castings to paint for his figures.)

Post by: AndrewL on October 11, 2011, 07:59:13 PM: These are extremely impressive -- the customs themselves and the photos.

Not my period, and I go for all-original-parts myself, but that doesn't mean I don't recognise a master at work!

My hat (tricorne or mitre!) is off to David Hamer, and many thanks to Richard for posting the photos.

Cheers,

AndrewL

And a wonderful topic as well.....just a few days too early. My harddrive is full of new photos exactly from the same period of time. I just have to run them through "packaging"....mine are orginal parts only and won't reach this level we can see here (especially lacking a mitre cap) but stay tuned!

Post by: henry_martini on October 14, 2011, 06:19:57 AM: Thank you for posting these evocative and inspiring customs. If there was a Geobra SYW range it would have to look like this exactly (maybe only less buttons on the gaiters ::)).

Is there any chance for more pictures of the Austrians. With some of the new parts now around I just recently discovered a soft spot for the 18th century and esp. Austria.

And @specialist: We can't wait as you will imagine. ;D

Thank you for reminding me. I want to have this too but while I have enough mustaches already I still have to find a way to make the funny tufts from pm parts.

Post by: cheng on October 21, 2011, 09:48:58 AM: thanks for sharing Richard!
I've been away from GW too long :P

their setting and photography is wonderful...
altho I also try to stick to PM parts, and PM-(simplified)styled parts, i cant help but admire their turn-back coat-tails, drums and ammo pouches :)

David's use of a female head (with rosy cheeks) for the drummer boy is admirable
