Pynedor's Playmobil

[tahra]

I really like the silver guy! And the dragons' leg armor fits!    Needs more careful looking into!

And thank you SO MUCH for the help with Hype (it doesn't recognize the mouse?) - I have located my CD, now need a few hours!

The golden knight that I made earlier has remained one of my favourite customs that I've done so far, and I've wanted to create a similar one with silver armour. This custom is my first attempt at that, but he isn't finished at all yet and needs some tweaking. I also need a permanent figure to use as the base since this one is not meant to be customised.

Anyway, I think he turned out well:



Here's a group shot of some of my heroes, eager for a quest:

He looks great, but have you tried the silver "great helm" from the silver/blue dragon knight from the latest Fi?ures on him?I think that might work well too!Just an idea of course-he looks great as he is!

Yes! After talking to you about the dragons in your thread, I remembered wondering whether they fit when I bought the bags. So I went and made this quick custom right away. It does fit and looks cool, but he can't sit, of course. I'll have to try out some other things.

Sure thing. The mouse isn't used in the game from what I've seen. I'd say getting used to the controls are the most difficult thing about the game. I was thinking about buying a USB controller just to make this game more enjoyable.

Thanks, Erik. As I'm sure you guys have seen, I really like this Sugarloaf style helm and probably overuse it. But I did try the one you mentioned along with several others, and a lot of them look really good. I'm not sure which one to go with for the final version of this custom though. First, I need to find some donor legs for it since currently that is a Templar underneath the armour (you can see his swordbelt that I've covered with the plate), and I don't want to sacrifice one of them. Legs with those small shoes aren't on any of the newer figures though.

Ah, didn't think of that (the sitting part...) - I suppose he can't sit even without the armor and belt?

Ah, right! I don't actually remember Alex - I mean if there was mouse use there...

The black knight's helmet is called a sugarloaf?     As I've said before, I'm not fond of helmets that cover the face 

And I do wish there were more of those simple "medieval legs" (not in green, blue!) - had problems finding those for the figures blue knight's men!

Nope, the part of the leg armour at the top that sticks out stops him from sitting.

Yup, because it looks like a sugarloaf. And those simple legs are great, but I doubt with the newer trends that we'll see them very often anymore.

Darn. Wonder if they could be.... trimmed a bit............

Right. Why make boring metal+black legs, with so MANY WONDERFUL combinations available?! Bright green and that godsawful blueish.. BRIGHT pink and purple...

Just to clarify, you meant the black knight as in the Special 4517, right? The one he has, along with the Dragon Slayer helm and the one that my white knight and new silver have are the sugarloaf ones. The one that my black knight with the cape has isn't.

Indeed.

That's quite a team you have there, though you might want to give that poor girl some more equipment! already no helmet for her, and she only gets a kitchen knife as a weapon while the others get big swords, flails and axes. 

Nice pictures of your hype knight fighting the templars too!

[Giorginetto]

Very nice !!!!!   

PS: these leg armor parts what part number are they and what set are they from? i reckon i might  be getting   'a few ' as i am thinking to armor up me black lion guard  and trying to work out the best armor combo for the lean and the not so lean black lion klickies ( 3 types ) ...

Thanks, Rhalius. I considered giving her one of those fire staves, but it didn't look right. Somehow I've just not been able to find a weapon that fits well, and I like the flowers better than any helm I've tried on her. She's so agile that it shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks, Giorginetto. The leg armour parts are from the new Asian Dragonland bags. They are supposed to be for the equippable dragons, but they do fit the older, narrow legs. According to the parts sheet:

30 25 6163 Silver Leg Armour
30 25 6173 Silver Pauldron, Shoulder Armour

The helms and tail armour don't fit human figures.
