Title: pie17171717's collection
Post by: pie17171717 on February 28, 2024, 19:11:09: I'm a huge Playmobil fan and I love building little armies with the different themes, here is a relatively small part of my collection. There's a lot of custom pieces and kitbashed figures, but I'm real proud of how this display turned out.

Nice shelves ;D

And those are impressive armies! The romans and "naval" soldiers.

Saw a very nice couple of cowboys too.

Picked them up a little over a year back from one of thos ebay sellers a suspiciously large amount of access to playmobil parts.

Post by: Macruran on March 09, 2024, 18:34:17: Lovely pics, but I'm going to have to request more closeups and details on your Romans. What are you using for a cornicen? Which set did you repurpose the vitis from? Can we see more detailed pics of your officers? Thanks in advance, signed, a fellow Roman fan :lens: :roman: :roman: :roman: :roman: :camera:

Yeah of course! Glad to meet another with such an interest! I'll try to get some better photos of each officer here soon. I based the order from the right to the left off of the youtube video "Roman Army Structure", starting from a Primus Ordine and going all the way up to Legatus. The Cornicen horns I ordered off of ebay from a custom parts seller, and they get the job done nicely. The Aquila is a cut spear with a perched and painted crow. To tell you the truth, I have absolutely no idea where I got the vitis from and they were just a lucky find in my collection. I assume they are some sort of cowboy rider item...? In the meantime, here are some much better photos of all my Romans, although it is not 100% up to date, I changed the Aquila quite recently.

Post by: Macruran on March 17, 2024, 22:45:42: Great, thanks! Love the closeups and the detail work. Really great stuff! Which customizer did your cornicen? I got a custom one too but it's totally different, yours looks pretty class (though I'd prefer it in a brass color). The vitis looks like 30 45 8550 - Riding crop (https://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30%2045%208550). Me I use the stick from 4885 - Nativity Scene (https://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?set=4885). Aquila is very cool and yes a spread wing one would be perfect.

I really should post my legion, I did previous versions but it's finished now and I've never shown the full thing :-[
