Project - Union Infantry and Confederate Infantry
« on: September 10, 2013, 04:06:08 »
I decided to start today, with no end date, a new project that is my Union Infantry and my Confederate Infantry, as close as possible to the historical uniforms with parts 100% original Playmobil.
Hope you enjoy the result.
I'm waiting for suggestions to improve them.
Greetings
Leonardo

but I thought DS is run out of one of these 2 colors of pouches?
also, it means you have to find more of these closed blue collars to build 2 armies...tough! My greys and blues dont share same parts so it was easier to collect enough parts for both armies..I suppose you have ebay instead of just relying on DS

I can't really suggest much for improvement since I don't know mcuh about how the uniforms should look but, they look good to me very striking  :)

Leonardo,
Based on my knowledge of the American Civil War (1861-1865) you seem to have done an excellent job with original Playmobil parts.

Considering the various suggestions received, these will be the final models of the Union Infantry.
Now I just need to get time to make at least 16 of each.
Malone, Bendalator stickers are already identifying the regiment..  ;)

I liked the backpacks too, but I guess it's a good idea to leave them out if it's going to take forever to find a lot of them.

Lovely project, I look forward to the pictures  :)
