(I wasn't sure where this topic should go, so I put it here.  If it should go elsewhere, feel free to move it.)

Sylvia, I like your new avatar.  I especially like the asymmetrical hairdo.   :)

So who does your avatar's hair?   :lol:

Hi KM!

Thanks for the compliments. :-*

The avatar I used over the winter period was much different to the one I normally use, so I have actually reverted back to my normal haircut and clothing. :)

You can see a full-body shot in Little Jo's Avatar Album (http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/album/displayimage.php?album=30&pos=35) and some of my former avatar pics (http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=2324.msg25840#msg25840) here. :)

The avatar pic itself is completely new since I never used a real background behind me before. It's a shot of Inverness Castle in springtime (see attachment for larger image).

That hairpiece is one of my favourites! I just wish it came in more colours than blonde and black. My avatar should really have brown hair if it's to look more like the real me.


Thanks again for the positive feedback! :)

Nice to see you back Sylvia  ;D! Although your other avatar identities are  :*) very attractive :inlove: to my avatar  ;), it's good to have a regular recognizable identity! BTW, beautiful backgound  :)9!

Ooohh--maybe I should take a shot of the Inverness courthouse for my background...sadly we don't have a castle to call our own! lol!  :lol:

I love the new hair...makes me want to cut mine!  I haven't seen that particular Playmo style before, I don't think!  Lovely photo! :)

Ah the old Sylvia style is back again ;D

I think this can become a new series: avatars in front of a local castle ... I think I have somewhere some castle pics to arrange in the background ...

What about those who don't have a castle around? :-[

(Not my case, I could use the Forte de Santa Cruz, instead ;D It's colonial, like the Spanish sailors collection ... Fred & Masie have been there, by the way!: http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=2130.msg27757#msg27757)

Sylvia ... Is this hair an original playmo' hair? :o What set's it from? :) Very nice. Good to see "you" back ;D (besides, when I got into Playmofriends, you had a helmet and a motorcycle! ::) .. It's almost a year I've been here).

Just wait a few years and you can use the grey one from 4281 (http://www.playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=4281)  ;D

If you need a brown one, I think I can make a mould and cast for you.

Sylvia ... Is this hair an original playmo' hair? :o What set's it from?

Indeed it is an original Playmobil mould: cf. the grey I mentioned above, the black one is from 4410 (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=4410) or 4344 (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=4344), and the blonde one is from 4703 (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=4703) girl's soccer team, and not to forget the blonde "wig" that is directly available as spare part (30 24 3750) in the 4413 (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=4413&pics=on) beauty salon.

My hair is already going grey so that time might come quite a lot sooner than I would like it to. :P

I wasn't aware of that figure having the same hair style! Thanks for pointing it out. I really like her clothing too. Do you know if she has the older, more curvy-shaped torso or the newer straight-hipped style? It looks curvy on the illustration, but the box pic is too small to see her shape in enough detail.


... the black one is from 4410 (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=4410) or 4344 (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=4344)

My Bakery set showed that style of hair on the box pic, but the figure inside came with a different, older hairstyle. The hair it contained matched the style of the one pictured on the instruction sheet (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-14-2310). They are very similar, but if anyone is planning to order the figure from the DS just to get the black asymmetric hairpiece, I would recommend ordering the female from 4344 instead.


If you need a brown one, I think I can make a mould and cast for you.

That would be excellent! 8-) Thank you for the offer. :D

Post by: Little Jo on March 26, 2009, 06:35:47
Uh, you're right, there had been an issue with the bakery woman and the different hairpiece ...  8}

I do not have the winter garden set so far, but I will let you know as soon as I have (I assume it's not the curvy variant because I haven't seen any recent figure still coming with the old style).

As far as I can see on the detail pic it seem to be the modern variant (because hips are not that curvy).

Speaking of different colour hair, I just got a 4662 "Mother with baby boy in carrier" Special, and the mother's hair is a colour I've never seen anywhere else; It's a kind of toffee- or fudge-colour.

Has this hair colour been used elsewhere? It'd make a nice change from the regular brown that so many figures have.

I really like that wig too. :yup:
I'm pretty certain it's the same colour as the loose pony-tail style which comes in the Beauty Salon set (4413). :)

The best thing is you can order it separately because the part number came on the instruction sheet:
http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30%2024%204050 (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30%2024%204050)

There might be other styles in that colour, but I haven't noticed them yet.

4662 "Mother with baby boy in carrier" Special

You mean the one eyed pirate (4662) (http://www.playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=4662)?
I think it's the 4668 (http://www.playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=4668) set  ;)
Indeed it is the same color than the other wig from the hair saloon - I compared it.
And you're both right, it's a really harmonic and warm color tone; I like it also very much.

i have an older medical guy who has the same color hair, styled, no hat, and the style is different from the other no hat men's hair, with more waves in the bangs.  my medical guy has a white coat, with attached lapels, a painted breast pocket with something in it, and two painted side pockets, white pants and lovely light blue tie shoes (1992 on the sole).  sorry, i can't post a photo at the moment, although if you go back to the photos of my medical center, he is in the "blood bank" and up front in the radiology/xray unit.

Funny you should say this, Nicki. Our castle is now used as a courthouse too! :lol:
The current building is quite modern by comparison with other castles around the UK, dating back only to the 19th Century, but there have been other castles on or near the same site as early as the 11th century. They were all destroyed through battles over the centuries.

Ah, castles are one of the many things I miss about living in Europe!  I think I like your "courthouse" better than ours!  Though I have to admit that in the spring, before it gets too hot, this Inverness has a lot of appeal! :)

Post by: Sylvia on August 23, 2009, 17:50:11

Well if that is Loch Ness than it might be in Scotland's Highlands . On the north shore is Urquhart and then there is Eilean Donan near by .

Yep, it's Castle Urquhart. :)

Am I imagining things, or did you change your new avatar slightly?  I seem to recall a larger building in front of Nessie.  I also don't remember the dark clouds.   ???

For Klickus and those not familiar with the stunning natural beauty of Scotland, here are some shots of Loch Ness without "Nessie"...

Yes, it's a different castle. :yup: Autumn is coming so I felt a slight change in avatar would suit the season better. :)

I was standing in front of Inverness Castle on my previous pic. Urquhart is a little further away from home (about a half hour by car), but I still think of it as local. ;)


Thanks for the larger photos, Karim. 8-)

Post by: Sylvia on April 19, 2011, 23:42:22

Thank you! I'm really pleased with how it turned out too. :)

The hair has been digitally edited to make it look more like my real hairstyle. I have no idea where the background pic is from but I thought it looked a bit Scottish.
