new kid on the board :D
« on: October 08, 2005, 03:19:43 AM »
hi everyone, im newly registered but have been following the events on this board for almost a month now. i just got newly interested in playmobil after not having seen or been involved with it since i put the various boxes in my parents cellar more than 12 years ago.
well i got the fever for it again  :lol: all of a sudden while on ebay :roll: i had the urge to look for playmobil and found myself bidding on a few auctions.
at first i thought im crazy but was very relieved when i foudn verious sites on the net with ppl who r my age or older and share my newly found enthusiasm :D
i just want to say im happy im not alone and its a pleasure to be here.
it will take some time for me to get in to the customizing process, although i can hardly wait to start. seeing all the great creations i am truly stunned!
great work! well i guess i should end this post been typing too much to read alreay   :lol:
anyways happy to be here :D

yours

Hi from Scotland and welcome to the forum!  :)

It comes as a relief to many of us "older" people when we discover that we're not alone in our obsession with these little plastic people.  :wink:

I hope you will have time to start customising soon. I look forward to seeing photos of your figures, customised or otherwise.  8)

thanx yet again guys :D
i have some noobish questions if u dont mind  :oops: and i guess this is the best place to ask or should i go to the general forum?
anyhow my questions r pretty basic.
1) what do u use to apply paint onto a klicky? a brush? and what kind? like how thick or thin? especially for those delicate works.
2) what paint do u use? i remember i tried using revell paint in my teens once with mixed results (also due to my noobishness)
3) since i live in germany it be really really really great if some german board members could give me a hint what german products to use for customization (e.g. brushes and paints).

thats it for now but be sure ill be back for more  :lol:
id very much appreciate any further tips or tricks (basic stuff of course since i am sure there are soooooo many cool things to do to a klicky)
so pls enlighten me! ty a lot in advance already!
ur forever grateful flash  :D

Personally I use Revell and thin brushes, though one also needs larger ones for p.ex. legs. Im using Revell colors and Im quite happy with them Well for customizing figures I can give u the link: http://www.playclicks.com/gardenwargaming/foro/viewtopic.php?t=171
Here u can see my try to customize American Civil War soldiers using the package 4628 - Nordstaatler available for 1,99 euro in the Feldhaus in the city :) . If u want to have further information add me on MSN and we can talk (I am from Düren  :lol: )

Yes, it is beauriful here, Flash ...

It's also a great place to display Playmobil pirates ... ;)

However, the only Playmobil in the US Virgin Islands (that I know about) is what we bring over from Florida ... :)

All the best,
Richard
