Again thread-title says it all...
There are 27 of them in total; 6 soldiers and 1 officer with brown shoulderbelts and swords, and 20 soldiers with white crossbelts.
Not sure which ones (brown shoulderbelts or white crossbelts) look best, so suggestions about this are most welcome!

Oh wow!!! These are excellent!!! I was busting my head what might fit these guys in the neck, and what to use for a hat! Nice choise Erwin!
-
I really like the brown belts. If combined with a rifle of the same color it actually looks good in many combinations.
Cheers,
HDL

That is my next project thus my recent purchase of 30 western cannons for artillery of the era. The big dilemma i have is go for napoleonic era which is the exisitng tall hats or wait for the new english soldiers ( DS 2011/2012) with the triangular hats and SWORDS ( which the tallhats dotn have) but which are 1780 era and not napoleonic ..... ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? :hmm: :hmm: :hmm: :hmm: :hmm: :hmm: :hmm: :hmm: :hmm: :hmm: :hmm: :hmm:

Are you able to buy the hats separately with Greece's new DS service?

Havent thought of that !!!! :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[.. So i guess you mean wait and buy the new english soldiers that have the swords and better costumes AND buy equall amount of tall hats and plumes ... I am sure as these are still on sale they can be sold,.. what a great idea this is WoT !!!! a great idea !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the guilty one for the whole Greek economy deficit has been found... ;D
Just joking! ;)
Thanks folks for the nice comments! :)

It is nice having DS isn't it? ;)

:inlove: :inlove: :inlove: Love both!!! But I like the brown shoulder belt ones especially!

interesting customs Hadoque !
just a question for Mapoleonic experts..is there any rules/records of soldiers having to carry their rifles slung behind their shoulders during long marches (of carried resting on the front of their shoulders?) for faster 'deployment' in case of a surprise attack ;D (like whether the shorter samurai side arm is worn blade up or down for a faster first strike/defense) ;)

Interesting question! I don't have a clue... ???
With my Playmo-soldiers I use both methods;
a) rifles in front of the klicky: slightly raised arm with tilted backwards rifle (like he is holding the rifle in the palm of his hand and holding the barrel against his shoulder)
b) rifle on the back of the klicky, rifle almost straight up (like there would be a rope attached to the rifle so he carries it by holding tightly the rope over his shoulder.)
-
Hi Hadoque, they look great. Since you asked I prefer the brown belts. Can you tell me where the torsoes are from? If I can get some I'd love to copy your design (assuming you don't mind).
-
Those are excellent customs, Hadoque. The choice of colours for the uniforms looks really smart.
White cross belts or brown? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm? Well, may I suggest both, the white cross belts for the privates and the single brown belt for the NCOs as they have less to carry and it marks them out as different from the rest.
-
I think they look good with both, or just ow they are.
I don't think I would change that regiment.

The torsos come from this set: http://playmodb.org/setpics/4258.jpg

Nice customs, Erwin and HDL. I like Gordon's idea of using the white crossbelts for the privates and the sword belts for the NCOs. I'm wondering if black might work better, though, as it would match their boots.
-
They're gorgeous!
I wanna steal.. uhm... adopt! the idea of the drum on a string :)
-
That's fine, Tahra :)
And thanks for the comments folks!
Btw, about ideas: just after making my first 25 soldiers, I discovered KW-member "Hannibal" had the same idea and had created exactly the same soldiers simulteaneously (I think) as I did!! (though he only used white crossbelts, no brown cutlass/sword-belts, but that is a detail imho). He also sells on ebay, so I bought some from him to complement mine (otherwise I had to order lots more klickies from DS and buy loose parts elsewhere) and now I've a decent "regiment". :)

I have some similar figures - yes they are great. Good job - I like it.
