Hi folks !!!
I like the Playmobil helm for spanish conqueror Time....but.... ::)
As a good inconformist....I prefer one more reallistic.... ;D

Hey Javi! I'd seen it on FB before and commented there also.
This helmet is much more like the real ones, definitely nicer looking too! Though not my period -16th century's a bit too late- I quite like the general outfit of the Conquistadores with their pointed belly armors and shorts-like leg armor. They must have been an ipressive sight for the folks of South America (what were they? Incas? Olmeques? Tolteques? Mayas? I can never be sure!).

Beautifully sculptured as always :love:
Casted not 3D printed right? Which surface is smoother and which receives paint better?

Hi friends....Happy Christmas... :xmascheer:
Thanks for your comments.
- Arnaud....Like you, I make some pieces to make happy a friend.
This helmet is good for many Nations on 16th. Century....and of course for spanish conquerors :love:
You are rigth with all the names of the "indians"....there are many many tribes....and normally at war with each other ::)
- Cheng....All my pieces are hand made, I don´t use the 3D technology.
With 2 exceptions....thanks to Arnaud I can finished one arab helmet and one macedonian helmet.... :love:
To paint.....I don´t have problems to paint resin or 3D plastic

I can answer that. Resin is by far smoother, but both resin and 3D prints need a primer coating.

Thanks for the answers, master-of-resins & master-of-3D prints!

Sorry but this time I´m not agree.... ;D
I´m not a "fan" of the primer coat.
This is good when you have a modell with many parts of different color glued or if you put caulk on joints.
With the primer you can see if you make a good job on joints with the sandpaper....and you have a entire surface with the same color....then, the colours have a good effect....because many paints are translucent....no opaque.
For this reason....if you want bright colors....you need a clear surface.
The power of adhesion of a primer coat is the same of a normal paint....we don´t win nothing....we only make a more gross coat.
For a good adhesion....better make a previous work with a very soft sand paper....and clean of grease the surface before paint.
A last trick to paint our Playmo.parts.....use a final coat of satin varnish ....satin is like playmo-plastic....no gloss....no matt
All this opinions are good to paint plastic .....but if we want paint a real car scale 1/1....or tin soldiers.....this is another cuestion... ::)
