Title: Union Infantry - ACW - Models
Post by: Limorrj on October 22, 2013, 05:20:50
Dear Friends,
In view of the suggestions, I have received over these past two years, I made the following models for my Union Infantry.
I hope I can assemble at least 16 of each soldier, plus 1 sergeant and 1 commander, for each regiment, totaling 180 Union militaries.
Some are ready and I've already posted the photos, others I already have the parts, but I just need time to assemble them.
I'm waiting for more suggestions to improve them.
Greetings

Those are great! Especially the sharpshooter! He's perfect! :love:

What did you use as... gaiters? Is that what they're called? On the legs of the blue zouave...

(note to self: I WILL NOT make CW regiments! but they are sooooo pretty.. NO. CANNOT. :-[ )

Tahra,
Why not make ACW regiments?
I think this is the best theme of Playmobil.  :love:
I have parts to assemble 500 soldiers, joining Union and Confederate.
Here you have 10 suggestions for getting started.  ;)
I don't know how to answer about 146th Zouaves legs, I bought this way on Ebay a 1 year ago.

Because I have far too many (klickys) already  :-[   And been adding roman legions? centuries? whatever  (to me THAT is probably the best theme).  Seriously, I don't need encouragements! Can't really get hundreds of ANOTHER theme. I do have a few...  My problem is that I kinda love them all, and have all themes.

Those legs must be customized, right? At least I don't think that mold exists...

Playmofriends,
There comes a time that we decided to change some things in our lives.
As now, I can assemble my own soldiers, rather than just buying ready, I decided to change my avatar for another more like me.
This is also a way for me to participate in the dioramas.
Of course the theme is Western - ACW.
Hope you enjoy.
Greetings

Playmofriends,
In addition to the Union soldiers, I've concluded the Confederate models.
These are just the historical uniforms of Confederate regiments.
Hope you enjoy.
I look forward suggestions to improve them.
