Long coats for redcoats (easy to copy!)
« on: December 07, 2009, 12:01:19 PM »
Hello all,

I made new coats for my redcoats (without miliput or anything!) quite easily!
I am still in the testing phase! (the white facings will be printed on sticker in final versions!)


Watch!

By the way,

I was inspired by the new long coat made by Georba, on a pirate included in the DVD pirate adventure box....

Very clever idea, Marco! 8)

I think they look marvellous. :D What I really like is how they suit the Playmobil figure so well. It doesn't look like a modification - looks just like Geobra had produced it themselves. Probably because of the materials and the simple lines you have used.

Well done and thanks for sharing this easy-to-copy tip! :)

yes, I very much agree with what 'Sylvia says..' ;D
Marco...you keep improving them!  ;)

..and Marco, I dont mean to share your lime light...but I just want to say that I do like discussing methods and improvements with other talented customisers like yourself (my Qing Guards was very simple but you would have been a great motivation for me back then and I didnt do a good job of explaining step-by-step with such clear close-up pictures  :P )
