Help! One of my US cavalrymen has gone AWOL!
« on: July 09, 2006, 10:22:31 AM »
I am trying to complete set 3811 which I bought loose on eBay a couple of months ago.



I have managed to obtain all but one missing item from the DS. The figure I need is no longer available. :(

If anyone has a spare of the red-haired soldier (with no gloves) that they are willing to trade, please get in touch. :)

Er.... I don't have very many spare soldiers but I do have hats, weapons, and many small pieces that could be useful for building armies. Maybe I should check.... :-[

Not sure. That should only happen if there is a size limit in place, and I didn't think there was. ???

All I can tell you is that there is an admin option which (if selected) gets the software to automatically resize avatars which are larger than the allowed maximum. ;)

I already have the hat and the yellow cuffs, so it's only the fig I need. ;)
I noticed that the dark-haired soldier has beige gloves whereas the other 2 do not. I'm a bit of a stickler for  completing sets as accurately as possible. :P

I couldn't tell for certain from the pics if he had freckles or not. :)
Quite often the red-haired figures do, but I don't think the one in this auction has them. Or does he?? Difficult to tell when the photos are so small. :-\

I have just been looking through all the "Nordstaatler" listings on eBay.de and came across this one for a "Soldatin"! ;D

Hello, Krystal ...

There always seems to be a someone out there for each strange combination ... :)

Just think if Ralf were to put put his fantastic customs on eBay rather than the amateurish concoctions that find their way to auction ...  :o

All the best from beautiful Vancouver Island,
Richard

Hi Krystal,

I have the red haired, freckeled face cowboy from the add-ons catalog.
I've got to go through my box of 300+figures to see if I have the right cavalry soldier...I need to clean that out anyway.

Best regards,

Jimbo

i share the same feeling/rules Krystal !
i think you will have no problem finding the head of a freckled boy...he's one of my favourites...i am sure you're quite close to getting 'one of him'  ;) ..dont waste too much money on ebay!

why is it that only blonde/red haired boys'girls get freckles?  :D (i swop hair pieces for my klickies but never for my freckled boys...they make good drummers for my ACW :)

hey RICHARD! i didnt recognise you...is there a thread for your transformation? why have you given up your 'royalty' for a job in the wilderness....its too humbling my dear friend...i'll take some time to adjust to that  ;D

No, there isn't, Cheng. There's a thread at Playmofriends, but not here!

If you are not a member of Playmofriends, you may not be able to see the pictures. If, for some reason, you don't want to join Playmofriends, let me know and I'll post the pictures here.

All the best,
Richard

i think even a birthday suit will look fantastic on Kenny Rogers (thats what i imagine Richard to look like...not the suit but his face  ;D (is there a picture of you somewhere Ro...er...i mean Richard?  :D

as for playmofriends...i think i'm not contributing enough as it is...i need to find more time to read other threads...welcome members etc....i know i have to try to shorten my posts tho...that'll give me more time to get more involved :P

with more english-speaking forums, sometimes they get really really quiet, and we have to repeat our almost identical articles, sometimes getting confused should the thread get too long...anyway i suppose variety is good for more reasons..no complaints

so Richard, are you customising mounties big-time? i really like them too but i have to restrict my themes or my father-in-law will lecture me again  :-[

in add on set 7047 like the one you need?

Thanks for looking, Jimbo. :)

No, the soldiers from this particular set had a different uniform to those guys. There are no buttons, just two broad, vertical yellow stripes down the front of the torso. I think they're supposed to represent braces.
