Title: Are there any current picture frames?
Post by: Ismene on September 28, 2012, 04:38:14
I need a few picture frames for a project. Are there any available in DS? There's a pink one in 5302, but I want a different color, something not too bright.

There's the king's portrait from the burglars' set. Though, it might be small…

There's another small one in 5145, a free standing one. Again very pink, though. The one arnaud refers to is the only other one I can think of it, I actually think it's kind of huge. http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=4265

You could also look at mirror frames.

The victorian houses come with many frames of different sizes and shapes.
In the 5300 are black and others golden, in 5301 are all red-brown. these last could be on ds since the house is not THAT old.

And you can check here what I did in the "gallery"... near the end of the episode.

Are some of those the frames from the base of a chest?  - just remembered I sent you some!
I'd often thought of using those as picture frames.

The king's portrait frame could work. I like the black ones from 5300, but the prices on Ebay are ridiculous. Red-brown might work, but I wonder if it would be too bright. I'm going to use b&w and sepia photos, so the frames should be subtle.

Which chest is that?

Paint will be the last resort, if I can't find anything decent at a good price.

Thanks all!

The classic 5300 ones are in my opinion the best ones. For the price on auction though you could buy dozens of them from DS and the paint. I agree that the brown/red color tone is a bit strange but really painting them is not that hard. There are many treads about tips on painting and it will open up a whole new world to you as far as customizing playmo

They are the best. But I'm not sure if I'm ready for painting yet.

I think Gaston used the underside-frame (base) of a chest like this one;

yes, sorry I didn't answer before.
If I remember correctly there two kinds, but basically is that. I still don't have them with me though to check both.  :(
It's the under frame of the chest but it has no"base". It looks in the drawings as if it has a full base, but in fact it is just the sides. So you cut off the pegs that holds the frame to the chest and you have a portrait frame.  :)

Yes, I think you mean this one? The base is a little different...

Apparantly not yet mentioned in db, but that chest also comes in black with a metalgrey base

That's a nice chest.  :giggle:

That reminds me; I'd like to get that treasure wagon for a custom eventually.
