Spartan Custom
« on: February 27, 2010, 22:19:46 »
Another custom that I made a while ago...
He is my Spartan, an ancient greek warrior trained from just about the day he was born to become the greatest warrior in history!
These mighty warriors were the some of the men that fought at Troy and at the battle of Thermopolie (the famous '300' battle, even though there were other greeks there besides the spartans... anbout 7,000 if I remember correctly. Only on the 3rd day of the battle were there only 300 spartans, and even that is not true as there were 1,000 other greeks with them as well).
I have made a Playmobil version of an old veteran Spartan...
He is a veteran because you can see his helmet is old and has many bumps from swords and spears, but it is still battle ready!
Now for the pics!









And with just a quick switcharoo I have an Armored Hoplite...


I don't usually cut or paint things... but I was making a movie staring greeks soo... ;D
I hope you enjoy!

nice custom, but how did you make the helmet?

I took a playmobil sugarloaf helm...


Cut up the front with a dremmel tool untill I reached the eye holes...
then cut the nose gaurd down untill it was the lenght I wanted it.

You and me both... you and me both...  :'(
But I can make pretty good Masadonians with just playmo parts (no cutting or glueing!).
All I need is for DS to have the parts I need... :P

Very nice Spartan and Hoplite, WarriorOfToys!  I agree with Martin that your customs make me long for a Greek theme.

Thank you Justindo!

I forgot to mention a step in my post before on how I made the helm...
To get the feathers I cut a line down the top of the helm with my dremmel
(I love that thing!) and the feathers fit snugly inside!

What is a dremel tool? I do all my cutting with an exacto knife, which takes a long time, and I always need new blades

Well SeaWarrior, you could use an exato knife...
Or you could use a dremmel tool which can be used for multiple things!
Here is a picture of mine...


And it has lots of tools to do all the different things... This is the cutting wheel I used for the helm,
it is the perfect width and playmo parts will snap in like thay were made to fit there!


Hope this helps! It is much faster then an exacto knife.

Very nice!

I really want to see Playmobil come up with ancient Greeks.

Do you hear us, Playmobil?  WE WANT GREEKS!
