Title: army
Post by: GaiusIulius on February 19, 2007, 06:10:03 PM
Finally I found the time to take pictures of all my forces in active duty at the moment. To have a backround I used a tablecloth because for the larger units it was too difficult to use a simple DIN A3 paper. I cant post all the photos now, but in the next weeks I will post all of them, so check the forums regulary  :D. Enjoy the pics and perhaps u cant gimme some hints to improve them...

1. commanders and his staff

I love your Confederate Cavalry.  They'd make a great army to battle the numerous Union troops that are more abundant in sets.

they were my first try of customizing...back in the days when I were young (3 years ago  ;D) and concerning an other lamp...I think the pictures a bright enough to see my soldiers  ;)

heres the next wave:

10. V. Centurie Roman bowmen (actually not abig unit)

(http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/884/playmobilarmee113hq1.jpg)

12. redcoats (actually my biggest unit)

(http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/9629/playmobilarmee50hm5.jpg)

3 officers
2 flag bearers
35 soldiers

13. musketeers without muskets

(http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/4481/playmobilarmee45rq2.jpg)

1 officer
5 soldiers

When I was younger I used to have units consisting 6 soldiers. This is the one last unit where u can still see that, all the other units have as many soldiers as I can get  :)

8. pirate militia (not historically correct I know  :) but I like them)

actually they r not so far fetched as u might think... check THIS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Lafitte) page and THIS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_New_Orleans) page.
pirates were indeed - at least once - involved in an "orderly" battle! ;)
abtw all ur units r very impressive gai!  :o im envious  ;D
