The new specials are there

, well here

.

When I saw the Captain (4642), I thought he had a very useful jacket for Waterloo Prussians.; specially when combined with the Confederate Officer (7663, available from the DS), Royal Guard (4611) and a few accessories.

This is the `quick`version. I know it can be improved, a more accurate collar, a little paint scratched off here, a lick of paint there... :wink:

These collars are much better.

Painting the captain´s collar would be the easiest and cheapest way. Now I`ve only got to rub the unwanted paintwork off.

Very good idea....

You have a good look for new specials...

Thanks Andy!

Here are today`s ideas! I scraped the unwanted paint off and decided that cross belts were better. Oh! And added a flag... colour.

I had another idea this morning, a drummer. On the left I´ve added a custom I made sometime ago. All that´s missing now is a few more musketeers.

They look great, David!

A simple, yet very effective custom!

Thanks for some really good ideas!

All the best,
Richard

YESSSSS!!!

that's definitely ala de Warrens!!
almost-reversible customs, almost 100% playmo parts...nice photography and diorama!

when i retire(here i go again

), maybe the ship captain will be available here(we dont even have the northerner special yet!! ) and i shall dig this pic up

where did the door signage come from? home made or a discontinued playmo?

more more!

Hi Cheng,

It`s this set.

Btw The `more more` has arrived ! It´s at Justforklicks ... :lol:

Thanks Paul and GaiusIulius, these were fun to make. I want to take a couple more photos tomorrow.

All the best,
David

Bravo David! Very simple yet effective customs. I think it is fascinating to compare your soldiers - on some you manage to convey the idea with a minimum of work, and on others you use a great deal of milliput and paint! Yet, you always know exactly how much to do, or not to do, to pull it off. Fantastic!

I suspect it is the red medieval house offered this year from Direct Service. Or maybe it is like my red house - spray-painted.

Does anyone know how much the direct service is asking for the Red House???

EsDoc · « **Reply #14 on:** July 20, 2005, 12:18:27 PM »

Simple but very good again David.

The oil-skin shako cover makes it perfectly visible this is a prussian

May I ask how you did the flag? I doesn't look like you painted it all by hand this time as you did for the Inf. Regt. No. 8 on your site.
