Post by: Richard on February 20, 2006, 03:39:27 AM: Nice figures, Bennain ...

The German really looks just like what probably almost everyone would imagine what a Prussian officer should look like ... :)

And, Cheng, you can make your own pickelhauben ... All of those on the top shelf were "home manufactured" ...

All the best and thanks for sharing, Bennain,

Post by: Sylvia on February 25, 2006, 10:52:07 AM: It's great to see the different looks that can be achieved through parts swapping. It takes a good eye and a lot of imagination to do this well, and you have certainly done a very nice job with these soldiers. :D

My favourite is the second "gardist", but then I always seem to fall for those klickies with the sideburns. I don't know what it is about them! :lol:

well they do say women love men in uniform and i guess those "gentleman" side burns just add to the "magic" ;)

great customs bennain and a very nice collection richard! :D

Title: Bennain's Experiments
Post by: bennain on March 21, 2006, 01:40:50 AM: Here is a new custom from me.

When I was young, I saw in german television a series which called "Sandokan - Der Tiger von Malaysia" (Sandokan - The Tiger of Malaysia). I think it was at the end of the seventies in 1977 or 1978.

This series have had fascinated me so much, that I have got the inspiration to create this figure.

Enjoy
Bennain
Title: Bennain's Experiments
Post by: cheng on March 21, 2006, 11:20:36 AM: hey bennain,

Sandakan(in formerly British-Borneo, i think) was probably 'popular' with 'off-shore pirates' during the seventies...(from neighbouring philippines/Indonesia)
but i didnt realise they are so 'famous' that the germans made a TV series :lol:

your hands must have got serious cramps painting those lines :P

the Tiger of Malaya was given to a ruthless Japanese General occuppying what was call 'Malaya' during WWII
so this Tiger of Malaysia is a fiction...he must have been a Robin Hood in your young eyes then :wink:

thanks for sharing your fantasy! (was he the good pirate?)

Post by: Flash on March 21, 2006, 11:32:13 AM: :shock: i remember that series! great custom bennain! i like ur eye for detail! :D

Post by: bennain on March 28, 2006, 10:19:49 AM: So! Last weekend a good friend has visited me. He saw some of my figures and customs and said to me, that he wants to make also a custom. I gave him some legs, arms, a head and a body and also some equipment. This is the result of my friend:

Post by: bennain on October 24, 2006, 10:08:39 AM: So, I've created an enemy for the romans. The picture shows a persian bowman. For the moment I'm a little unhappy with this custom, because the bow is not really good. I look for these from special 4527.

and a happy new year.

This Thread German Camel Corps (https://gardenwargaming.playclicks.com/forum/index.php?topic=1130.0) gives me the inspiration for a custom.

I tried to make it only with orignial parts and I've made pics from different versions.

Regards
Bennain
Title: Re: Bennain's Experiments
Post by: bennain on January 05, 2010, 01:08:19 PM: The second Version.
Title: Re: Bennain's Experiments
Post by: Richard on January 05, 2010, 01:29:34 PM: Great customs, Bennain!

I think the second version looks more German. And, the first version looks slightly more English.

All the best,
Richard
