Post by: cowabounga on March 15, 2015, 10:40:41: Inspired by Tintin's adventure "Le Temple du Soleil", here are my Incas.

@cheng: I still don't own a 3D-printer, and won't before a long time I think. The kind of printer used to craft my objects is worth 35000€, I'd rather buy a car for this much!

Really, really great. I think I need a 3D-Printer, too :)

Do you also sell these great customs or do you only use them for your own?

Post by: DrDalek6 on March 23, 2015, 21:41:29: Beautiful customs great use of the Egyptian figures :). The headresses all seem to have turned out beautifully (you may disagreee but, from where I'm sitting) particularly the guy with the yellow and black shield speaking of which the shields are also beautiful particularly the blue and red one with the blue tassles tinged red very impressive. Oh yes what's the deal with the leopard skin? don't think I've seen that in any Playmobil sets

The leopard skin, an extremely cool little item, appeared in set 4243, Pharaoh's Temple.

Also in a special, I think.. the masai warrior, maybe?
Title: Re: INCAS!
Post by: cowabounga on March 24, 2015, 12:08:16: Nope Tahra. The Masai warrior had leopard skin printed on his "skirt" and a carigan for top.

It looks superb, but personally I´m still refraining from getting 3D-printed parts to make customs.
A small remark concerning the leopard-skin: there never were leopards in South-America, like most other big cats they live in Africa and parts of Asia.

Yes but on the Incas the leopard skin piece is meant to be a jaguar skin.

Yep! Couldn't resolve myself to erase that wonderful printing! Thanks for your comments, Erwin, but why are you refraining from 3D parts?

Well, it took me several years before I decided to occasionally use paint and/or stickers (tape) for customising figures as I prefer my klickies to look as much as possible as if they were originals. When looking at the pictures of the 3D-printed parts - even if most designs are truly brilliant - I find the texture of the material used too dissimilar from Playmobil-plastic...
