Title: Napoleonic Soldiers
Post by: Malone on March 31, 2011, 10:49:53: As many people know, one year ago I begin to model napoleonic items for our Playmos.
Maybe is not the moment for show all the items together here....this is a lot of photos....but i can put here only the new releases of this month and next.

My last creations are two schakos for russian infantry, about 1804/1807, for riflemen and grenadier

Geobra could very well release a Napoleonic theme.
Title: Re: Napoleonic Soldiers
Post by: Malone on March 31, 2011, 10:57:29: That´s not all...... ;D
I model also a Kaski or Kazku......a very special hat for russian Lifeguard, 1802/1805.....scandalous but nice/rare..

I make with this hat a Preobrazhenski Lifeguard...more or less.... :-[
Title: Re: Napoleonic Soldiers
Post by: Malone on March 31, 2011, 11:02:52: Thanks Primus Pilus.... ;D

And other surprise.....a rare bavarian schako....maybe not more popular but well for a good collection.

The uniforms are stickers from Bendalator "new generation" and for the Rifleman is a uniform from Marcus (Germany)

dear Malone, its easier to dream than to make those moulds,
meanwhile I should stop making more Samurai and ancient Chinese heads (hair)....I know your moulding quality will render all my heads sub-standard :P

Another family, the "stovepipe", now on a British 71 Rgth. Ligth Inf./Waterloo.
I choose this version for his colours and originality.
The "turban" is a vinyl sticker of hig cality from my friend Bendalator.....a genuine "Burberrys".... :lol:
Title: Re: Napoleonic Soldiers
Post by: Malone on August 30, 2011, 18:22:57: This family of stovepipes is great and I choose another version, this time for Ligth Inf. on Peninsula War.
The "fine work" on the plate is remarkable....I think :-[

Title: Re: Napoleonic Soldiers
Post by: Malone on October 05, 2011, 14:30:30: Thanks to all for the comments....and criticism :love:

With napoleonic collection I think on all people, some will be specialist, others only the french....only his country...every one choose.
A collector who lives near Württemberg will be delighted with this news??...we assume but..... ::)
I know some collector from Spain and every one have their own interests....not necessarily nationalist.
Make only the most "popular" hats would have a very poor view of this topic.

About he arab...white color is a good base for painting ;D

I dont know if is possible put images from a book of Knoetel???.....if this is possible I show the example for this Hesse Officer.

Title: Re: Napoleonic Soldiers
Post by: Malone on November 23, 2011, 16:25:00: Well, with this helmet, the Württemberg Family is a bit more big.....but another little Family is the Russian shako 1804/07 (Austerliz time)....now, a new version for Imperial Guard.
Title: Re: Napoleonic Soldiers
Post by: Malone on November 23, 2011, 16:34:49: And now, one very poular shako.....the belgian shako!!!!
This shako was adopted by GB. troops about 1812 for the popular British Coldstream Guard Grenadiers.
This shako was used for multiple countries.....allied of GB. of course!!!
Wath plate use???.... ::)
Finally I choose to make only one "GR" without simbols or numbers....to make the shako the most polyvalent possible..... 8}

For Officers gold cords and white for soldiers.

Title: Re: Napoleonic Soldiers
Post by: Malone on March 01, 2012, 05:39:21: Thanks, thanks, thanks!!!!

Title: Re: Napoleonic Soldiers

Hi Cheng...!!
Really, I find pleasure only modelling new parts....or find new solutions...for example the recent "cuirasier body"....or this winter coat.
Normally I make the pieces to make the dreams of my friends.
But....with Napoleonic Theme....I fall in love and I begin to collect them... :love: 8}
I like the idea of make parts for Asian Theme ;)...but for me is a exotic and stranger theme...and I dont find inspiration...maybe later... ;D

The forage cap is a german version, I have a lot of pieces for this theme but.....this is a very sensible theme on Germany and on any forums....for a normal respect to Mom Playmobil....I dont sell this....and normally I dont show this pieces.

While a french imperial cuirassier is one of my oldest wishes and your solution is closest to perfection accuracywise your coat offers the vastest possibilities as you showed already.

Mientras que un coracero francés imperial es uno de mis deseos más antiguos y tu solución es la más cercana a la perfección, tu capa ofrece - como tú mismo muestras - las más vastas posibilidades.

Gracias mago. :thanks:
Title: Re: Napoleonic Soldiers
Post by: Pynedor on March 02, 2012, 23:44:33: As much as I don't care for modern or pseudo-modern war themes, Malone, those are excellently done! The helmet on that one is especially realistic-looking.
Title: Re: Napoleonic Soldiers
Post by: cheng on March 03, 2012, 01:17:47: dear Malone, I have quickly saved your steel helmet picture....maybe our mods will suggest removing it since it is very sensitive and has been pointed out before by Geobra :P
..meanwhile, thanks for sharing, its perfect (i did customise one and showed it on gardenwargaming but of course can never be as nice as yours :-[)
Title: Re: Napoleonic Soldiers

A good Army need a military police....thinking on the french I make this hat for the "Gendarmerie"....I think this is the 9º or 10º variant of this type of hats....crazy.... 8}
Title: Re: Napoleonic Soldiers
Post by: Malone on July 07, 2015, 15:02:25: Some friends ask to me for special hats-helmets looking for new solutions for his armies.

Title: Re: Napoleonic Soldiers
Post by: Malone on July 07, 2015, 15:07:13: Or this special shakos french style (used by many Nations).....without plaque or with a square plaque.....thinking on you can make your own plaque with normal paper sticker...or vinyl sticker....on your own home printer or with the help of a friend :lol:
This way, we can have "rare" versions of shakos with a low cost.... ::)
A good idea ??....
A example this Hesse-Gross und Erbprinz
