Hello Garden Wargamers ...

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? ...

Hello WoT

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.)

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

Is he really back? Great!

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!

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
@ geobra: Thanks a lot!!! :-)
