my black & red knights

[cheng]

Galleons only appeared a century or two after the 15th century 
my lighting is still not good and i dont have the software to make this brighter...and no historical reference 

just waiting for the Romans

[Richard]

They look pretty cool, Cheng ...

But, the shields are blocking most of the figure ...

So, how about a photo from the left side so that we can really see your black & red knights ...

Yes, we are all waiting for the Romans ...


All the best,
Richard

hey guys,

nice soldiers cheng again u showed that u know to work with airbrush very well  . Im waiting for the Romans too, but I was somehow lucky and saw them in Playmobil funpark in Zirndorf, unfortunally they didnt sell them.  I shot some pictures, which I posted in an other thread. -> https://gardenwargaming.playclicks.com/forum/index.php?topic=441.0

hey Gaius,
you give me too much credit...i just did this to kill time...here's a close-up...its actually kid's pvc stickers

[Richard]

Hello, Cheng ...

Are the "kid's pvc stickers" removable ...

All the best,
Richard

[cheng]

yes they are removable...i just put a sharp knife under one corner and peel...(i have tried stick-on tatoos and wet-applied scale model decals, they are ok too but not durable enough for rough play) these are the same ones as those i used for my 'death-heads' 

[Richard]

Hello, Cheng ...

How many different designs can be used with Playmobil ?

And, how expensive are they ?

All the best,
Richard

[cheng]

oh Richard, they're quite old.....i'll scan the 4 different designs and post them here...i cant remember if i stole them from my daughter or picked them from stationery shops....i have been keeping them for quite a long time...never used them because of my obsession with accuraccy 
 i do still check out stationery sections whenever i get a chance but they are usually floral or cartoons and pastel shades rather than in primary colors.

there are kiosks in shopping malls printing instant stickers using PCs but minimum(stickers can also be thin metallic foils and come in in  rolls too) is probably 100 per design...i'm too embaressed to enquire as their customers are almost always kids

Great looking army of knights, cheng!
The stickers finish them off really well.

[Capitan Enrique]

Very cool Cheng! I really like the ship design. What a great idea to use stickers, and removable ones at that. This week, the galleon army, next week the skulls, week after that we have the dragons... Nice!

[cheng]

HEYYYY!!! everyone's more interested in my stickers(my next new thread  )?!

no problems..
not more than USD2 per sheet i think...(cheap for the earning euros and USD  )

and Capitan, youre most correct(i do try to make mostly reversible customs since its hard and expensive to get PM here)...i have earlier posted some black scorpion knights but i cant find the thread..you can see those scorpions on one of the sheets..the larger ones are for scorpion flags(on a black flag of course)

as for me...i'm at awed with the romans box art Richard posted above thread

wow it´s magnific¡¡¡
