my brand new avatar!
« on: March 19, 2006, 06:13:17 PM »
well i am a fan of the playmobil western theme - my actual interest are the years after the acw (1865) til the 1880's, but as a kid i always wanted to have confederates, which unfortunately came out oh so late...
however i have seen so many great playmobil acw armies here that i shall not endeavour to go down that road but i still couldnt hold back and do a very very slight customazation.
this is the standard yankee special with the confederate cuffs, collar, sideburns and canteen. i painted an infantry badge on the cap which by now i am sure is not historically accurate, but i did this figure when i just started getting interested in playmobil again last year - learnt a lot by then thanx to all of u. well i finally got around to take a picture!  :shock:
i know a long story  :lol: well here is the picture, let me know what u think of my very first diffident try, thanx in advance :D

I noticed your new pic straight away! :D
He looks really nice - neat paintwork on the hat, and he has those all important 'mutton chop' sideburns that I love. :wink:

Great avatar, Flash! Thanks for posting the larger pic. 8)

thanx guys!!!  :D hearing this positive feedback from some of the best out there (yes u r!) does give me the courage to move on.
@ krystal - yep he does look better in big :lol: and i must admit the "ladies effect" did influence me little when i put him together   :lol:  :wink:
@gaius iulius and bennain - no worries guys, i didnt by ALL of them  :lol: just two actually and then they were sold out! but i did get some of the last confederates in order to use those sideburns on other figures i must admit  :lol:
so again thank you all for ur feedback! its appreciated very much!  :D

very nice Flash!
when i saw your new avatar...i thought you used a PC-printed sticker for your hat but your larger picture here shows you have steady hands and can do much more to add to our ACW customs!

i hope you will also start to get more interest in ACW, since its your new avatar now  :wink: and we can exchange more ideas..

just dont buy too many too  :lol:

i like you hat most!!! ENVY ENVY ENVY
