Heat treated items! :o
Yup, so I caved... but only for these two very special items. ;)
First, I have a fusion of a Roman sword, and a Medieval one...
Forming a "Viking Broadsword" or Roman Centurion longsword. :)
If I could perfect my fusion techniques,
I think I would like to punch out a few more of these.... ;D

Here I have my other heat treated item, my field cannon! 8)
At first glance it looks like your original old-timey cannon...
(http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/9706/126zro.jpg)
But upon closer inspection you'll find that it is actually
an old cannon barrel mounted on newer parts!
(Necessity is the mother of invention.)

It is an old cannon barrel that I have fit into a newer version cannon "holster"
I had to heat up the sides to fit it in, but it now is snug,
and I can still rotate it. :)
I put the cannon with holster on top of a barbarian arrow shield stand (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-02-2020)
And switched out the wheels of the stand for larger ones.
I hope you like them both. :)

awesome!
You must video your sword splicing method and show us how you did it!
-
WOT you have crossed the line...burning PM :o I shoudlnt be encouraging you but yours maybe the only answer (unless we have moudling capabilities) to making a longer, double-handed sword for a Kojiro Sasaki (who lost to Musashi in the legendary duel) custom ;D but I shall desist the thought :P
-
Neat work, WoT. :wave:

Neat work, WoT. :wave:
you approve of this, my dear friend?! :lol:
WOT, I presume you'll be spraying the home-forged sword as a final step?!
-
Great work Warrior!!
-
Good work WoT. Although I am unsure if I condone of such practices....who am I kdding....it's great stuff.
Although I do have a harder time seeing bigger items being irriversible customized, the end result is usually worth it. This is definitely the case here!
-
:)9 Congratulations on crossing the line to customization! Great idea!
-
Good work! I definitely do condone burning playmobil when it's for such a good cause!
-
Thanks everyone! ;D

Maybe I will look into it. :)

I think he meant painting. :giggle:

Ok, no more heat treating...
Time for some more reversible customizing. :)
My only French army man from the Napoleonic Wars. ::) :P
I think he is an "Old Guard" line infantryman.
Here he is:

I used hot glue to glue the feather on, and the bayonet.
(Since I didn't have the proper bayonet.)
I really like how the bayonet looks on the rifle though,
so I may be using the same system for my light infantrymen when they come out. ;)

I think I might hot-glue too someday (its reversible like you say!) ;)

And I find it looks really nice. :)

It’s cute, but ¿is there a point to mounting a Field Cannon barrel onto a Ship’s Gun Carriage, then mounting the carriage to a Temporary Fortification cart, when you could just as easily get a Field Cannon set?
-
This French soldier is awesome combination Warrior!!! :o

These are all great looking customs, WarriorOfToys! :)9

Because I didn't like the ship cannon, and I had the extra barrel.
And since I had all the parts, I didn't feel like spending $30 on Ebay (or more).

Excellent conversions Warrior !!!!!! 8}
-
Ouch...although it hurts me to see a cut playmobil item, I really like what you did Warrior!!
-
Great conversions, I cut up some spare weapons myself now and then, but I never worked with heat treatment to weld parts together. It looks like a promising alternative for glueing them.

Thank you all! :wave:

Depends,
For weapons and such,
yes welding makes more sense.
And, I think, looks a bit better.
But for certain things, like the feather on the hat,
and the bayonet...
I would not have like to heat treat them to weld together...
It is very difficult to get them to stick,
and you can see that in the sword...
Which was supposed to be a bit longer. ;)

agreed WKnight..on both counts :) .....hurts but not if the end result is good and produces another variety we have been looking for (and of course only when we have more than 1 such part and is not a rare item) ;D
good idea too, cutting those axe heads WoT!
