Hello again everyone ... (http://www.gardenwargamer.com/images/wave.gif)
It's that time of year when, once again, I change avatar costumes ... ::)
I've left my Mountie uniform in Canada, as I'm now back in the tropics.
(http://www.gardenwargamer.com/images/mountie.jpg)
So ... for now, I've donned my King Richard armour which was designed by Cap'n Henry!
(http://www.gardenwargamer.com/images/kingrichard.jpg)
As you can imagine, this is a very warm costume for the balmy breezes of Fort Lauderdale and the Virgin Islands. Perhaps, something a bit cooler would be nice ... ;)
Is anyone interested in helping me out with some ideas ... ???
As you can see from the photo, I look just like my avatar ... :)
Please post any ideas and pictures in this thread!
Thank you and all the best,
Richard

How about some "tropical uniform" or "summer uniform" avatar ideas, Fred ... ???
All the best,
Richard

well Richard if u want to visit a cooler placer come to Germany, though we have about 20°C here at the moment its normally very cold here ;) I would like to change with u :P
-
Thanks for the invitation, GaiusIulius ...
But, I thought that I would like to be warm for the winter ... ;)
So, I need a tropical uniform. Any ideas?
Thanks again and all the best,
Richard
-
changing skin again Richard?
tropical?
would you like to be a White Maharajah....with Bollywood maidens?! (is your wife active on this board?! ;D )
or
banished to the French Foreign Legion? wont take a second to decide...even with parched brains :D
-
Actually, Cheng, I was thinking of something a bit more like a bwana or a sahib ... :D
You know ... khaki short sleeve shirt and khaki shorts with low boots and socks. And, maybe a Sam Browne belt to give the ensemble a military flair ... ;)
I guess, on occasion, I might also be persuaded to wear a topi or a sun helmet ... :)
Any other ideas , my friend... ???
All the best,
Richard
-
a white Bwana or white Sahib?!
nah...you wouldnt fit ;D
its like asking you to wear be a Ching Emperor :D
but i can picture a plantation man...those honourable men 'left behind' after the japanese left south east asia...do you have to be 'militarily' aligned? (since this is wargaming?)

Cheng ... Please tell me more about the honourable "Plantation Man."

how about some bermudas richard? ;)
or wander the steps of a fellow famous literate island lover of urs (to whom u bare a certain resemblance ;)) and go for one of the tropic hats from the (old) safari theme.
khaki sounds very cool to me, maybe with short sleeves and a vest? a lot of possibilities there richard! ;D
oh btw i would like to post some links to pics on the collectiable site which might help u get some ideas richard... but im not sure its legal :-[ i am however sure u know that site anyway and its not really necessary for me to post the links :D so just check the jungle and safari theme, also of course on the playmobil site's archive...
oh and one more thing... ever think of a leopard skin hat? like in the 3010 set? might be worth checking out although i personally think the tropic hat would look better ;D

Thanks, Flash ...
Great ideas !!!
Little Jo (over at PF) is working on an avatar idea that's very similar to what you have suggested.
Thanks again for your ideas.
All the best,
Rchard

i am glad u liked my suggestions richard! ;D cant wait to see ur new avatar!
-
I just got a sneek peek ... ;)
Jochen is doing a fantastic job creating my new avatar !!!
-
Little Jo (Jochen) over at PF created this new "tropical" avatar which I can use when I'm in the Caribbean. However, I will also be able to use it when I'm in Canada !!!
I thought that I'd try out the "beta" version for awhile ... :)
What do y'all think?
-
I really like what I can see of it, especially the combination of that more casual-looking hairpiece with the beard. :)
When do we get to see the whole figure? I'm very curious to see what else you are wearing. ;D

Hmmm ...
I left my Mountie uniform in Canada, as I'm now back in the tropics.
(http://www.gardenwargamer.com/images/mountie.jpg)
Then ... I donned my King Richard armour which was designed by Cap'n Henry!
(http://www.gardenwargamer.com/images/kingrichard.jpg)
And, now ... Is it already time to say goodbye to khaki from Jochen?
(http://www.gardenwargamer.com/images/khaki.png)
How about a big hello to Richard the Roman? ... ;)
-
lol nice one richard or shall i say ave ricardus? ;D
-
Ave, Ricardus ... Hmmm ... Ricardus? ... :)
Ricardus, for some reason, just seems to fit ... ;D
People don't usually think I look very strange when I wear khaki shorts with a khaki shirt.
However, I wonder what they're going to think when I go out in my Roman costume? ... ;D
Thanks, Flash ... ;)
All the best,
Richard
-
Fabulous avatar!!! :o
A roman was not what I was expecting at all after seeing the khaki-shirted figure. I think perhaps that was just to tease us and throw us off the scent. ;)
I also like the dramatic lighting and the angle of the figure in your avatar picture. This combined with the klicky's helmet and armour really helps generate a commanding presence. 8)

Hello, Sylvia ...
I don't know how to tell, Jochen ... :-\
He spent so much time creating the "khaki Richard" ... (http://www.gardenwargamer.com/images/worshippy.gif)
(Which I really do like a lot. But, it's just not me.)
I really feel a bit embarrassed about telling him ... :-[
Ideas ... ???
All the best,
Richard
-
Ideas ... ???
Um. That is difficult. Don't think there is an easy way to solve your dilemma. :-\
But I'm sure Jochen will be very understanding if you explain that you wanted to use a klicky with a slightly more authoritative air. He knows how important the choice of avatar figure can be to many people. :)
The good thing is your new figure can be customized without paint. That should make his task of producing a replica for his collection slightly easier... assuming that you also intend to use it at PF, that is. ;)
