Toy Soldier Preview ~ W. Britain Wrath of The Northmen Summer 2017

Greetings everyone, it is almost summer time and soon W. Britain will be releasing new figures. Right now I am only collecting figures from the “Wrath of the Northmen” line of figures. I wish I could add some of the other lines to my collection, but due my budget I can only stick to one at this time. Anyway, I would like to share some information that I have gathered through different sources about the new figures that will be released soon. I can’t wait to add these figures to my collection and to see what else is going to come in the range down the line. Their figures keep getting better with each new batch released. So far the Saxons are my favorite, but it these new Vikings are making it harder to choose. W. Britain Wrath of the Northmen

This picture of a Viking holding the Raven Banner just came out today on their facebook page, it is supposed to be available in the summer too.

I am curious to see if any scenic pieces will be released this year for this theme. I would like to see some new cottages and maybe some villagers. Well that is a wrap for now, I am gathering some more things for the next installment for my monthly report.

Toy Soldier Review ~ Barzso Duke’s Stronghold

Well I finally got to opening and setting up a little display with the New Barzso building, The Duke’s Stronghold. Let me say, I was a little surprised on how big this tower is. Also I should have know, since it came in two boxes. And as always, this item was packed really well and arrived undamaged. Plus as a nice touch, a personal message on thanking me on the purchase. I never had a problem ordering from Barzso Playsets. Barzso Duke’s Stronghold

This stronghold as pictured above measures about 32 inches tall, 20 inches wide and 16 inches deep. You can purchase this set as pictured above or in parts, like the Stronghold tower, small tower or the base. 

One day, I will include this tower in mega display that I am going to create. But that will be many years from now, when I retire and move. Right now I am gathering pieces and sets to add. But between the painting and learning how to build other terrain pieces, It will take me time to finish. 

I am glad that Barzso made this set, it is a great stand alone piece or it can be incorporated into their Castle to expand that set.

This tower comes alive when you add some figures to it. Here are some of my Conte, Barzso, Replicants and other figures.

 

Toy Soldier Review ~ Kreza Modellbau Vikings

The other day while searching ebay for some Viking figures, I came across these figures from Kreza Modellbau. I never heard of this company and after a search on google I found their website. The company is from Germany and sells many different figures. The site sells mainly Medieval figures, I guess that about 75mm? They have a Elastolin section of figures and section of Kreza figures. So after a looking through there site, I came across what I was looking for. The Viking oarsmen, not to many companies made viking figures to use as rowers. You would think there would be more figures made to go with Viking ships, but that is a whole post on its own.

Even though I collect figures about 1/30 in scale, I figured that these Kreza figures would be close enough. So after a contacted them by email and ordering 8 figures, they arrived safely. I ordered 4 different poses, 2 of each pose either rowing from the left or right. The ironic part of this story is, the day after I had ordered these figures I found some resin Conte oarsmen for auction on eBay. Here is a comparison of 2 Conte oarsmen, with the Kreza figure in the middle. I have a ship that I am working on, it is like the Conte Viking ship that is made out of wood. I am going to add some of my Kreza figures with the Conte figures. The way I think, is you would have your biggest men as rowers. So here are a few that are a little bigger than a normal man. Plus maybe in the future I can use some of these figures for customizing. Most of the figures are in resin or metal, the resin figures that I got, where around $20.00 a piece. Thanks for reading.

You can go here to find the oarsmen Elite Wikinger. They are very helpful and easily to deal with.

Toy Soldier Preview ~ W. Britain Saxon Archers

Greetings again my friends, Thanks for stopping by. As the holidays approach us, I am taking a break from working on most of my projects. I am re-organizing my storage space and display area, and I shall start working on my projects next year. Right now I am going to pick up a few things here and there and plan for the future. Anyway, I have an update on some of the latest W. Britain Saxon figures today. Here are some of the Saxon archers that should be out in December. I can’t wait until next year to see what they have planned for the medieval range.

The Medieval Toy Soldier Project

Hi again everyone, I am making this post about the Medieval Toy Soldier dioramas that I am working on. I wanted to make this post to help other people out that might be thinking about do the same thing. I am new to dioramas with toy soldiers, I have done things in the past with Playmobil. Working with Playmobil is a little easier. Anyway let me show different things you can get to build up an Medieval world. First there are a few different companies out there that have made plastic medieval figures over the years and I could spent hours just posting pictures and talking about this. But I am only going to talk about what I think are the best figures out there right now that will go with the new W. Britain, First Legion and the older Conte painted metal figures.  In the future I post more about each group that I am using, and today I will give a brief outline.

The first question that I see collectors talk about is Scale!!!! Are these bigger than those??? This can be a little tricky at times, some times you will have a figure that is bigger for some reason that the rest of the line is about the same. Anyway, for the most part the painted metal figures from Conte, W. Britain and First Legion look nice together. First Legion detail is the best in my option, that said it would be a personal choice to included these figures with and other brands. 

scales4

As for the plastic figures, Conte I think made some of the best Vikings, Saxons and Normans ever made. Barzso has some nice sculpts too with the Merry Men and Sheriff’s Men. Also I like the old Dulcop figures, I am going to get more of these and most likely convert them. But they fit in nicely with the other plastic figures that I am going to use. I also got lucky the other day of eBay, I picked up some TSSD barbarians that included a Conte Viking that I had missing from my collection. It was the guy swinging an axe over his head. The TSSD figures are large in my option, but I will add a few of these as Vikings or Saxons. I will not get any more of these for this project, most of them don’t really fit and I will have to convert some to make them fit. But an extra pose might make it worth it. And Lastly are the Russian made Pvblivs figures, they are expensive. But they look really nice, so I might be tempted to get some more if they make any new figures in the future. 

scales1

Talking about cost, everything these days is expensive!!!!! From unpainted plastic to painted metal figures. If your lucky you can get a set of 14 to 16 Conte Viking or Norman plastic figures on eBay for around $15.00. If you want Conte Saxons, you would be lucky first to find any and I don’t want to even tell you about the cost. The later sets of Conte Vikings and Normans are expensive too. I was lucky enough to pick up a collection Conte Saxons, Vikings and Normans for a fair price. I wish I would have picked these up years ago. Barzso figures are also hard to find and can be expensive too. I like Barzso figures, but some of the Merry Men are a little bulky. I have a few of the Barzso Norman figures. I will try to convert the Barzso figures that I have, maybe add different weapons, shields and helmets to them.

scales2

Talking about Barzso, I think the archers that are in the Merry Men set are excellent. They fit in nicely with the Conte figures. Also the Dulcop archer is nice, you just have to twist the head so he is looking at what he is shooting at!!!!!

scales5

Talking about changing or converting figures, that’s one thing that I will be working on in the future. Once you have a 2 or 3 figures, depending on the poses there is so much that you can do to make them look different with a painting scheme. So what I will “try” to do next is add some small details to figures. Maybe using some putty to make a beard, add a shield, change the direction of the arms or by adding some other things. The bigger conversions will be cutting up figures to make new poses, or cutting off weapons to have them using a different weapons, or replacing heads or add a different arm. So much to do!!!!!

scales4a

Now that you have seen some painted metal figures and plastic figures together you can see the difference in scale and detail. In a few weeks, I should have most of these figures that I started painting a few weeks ago finished. I will then post some pictures showing my finished work compared against painted metal figures that were done from the companies. I think they will look good enough to blend in with the Conte and W. Britain figures. The First Legion figures will be tough, they have excellent paint jobs and great details too.

So here are the last of the comparison pictures of different figures, I will add a few more pictures of stock groups now.

Here are the Conte Vikings, Normans and Saxons. I will list some sets, some of these sets could be different with poses when you find them, but for the most part this is what you will find. I will one day take pictures of the figures that I have and do a separate posts on Conte medieval plastic figures. So sorry in advance with some of these pictures and the amount of detail. Also some of same the Vikings, Saxons and Norman figures are used in different sets as either Vikings, Saxons or Normans. You can mix of some of the figures into different armies for more poses.

So here are most of the plastic figures done by Conte, they have to be the best plastic figures out there or one of the best. There are some other poses in rare sets or that came in playsets that Conte has done over the years. Hopefully one day they will be recast by Conte again, so they will be easier to find and cheaper. And if they ever are done again, by as many as you can get. They won’t last long in stock.

Barzso Saxons and Normans. I say this, because basically that what they were. The outlaws of Robin Hood, were mainly Saxons. And the Sheriff’s men were mainly Normans soldiers. 

barzso-normansbarzso-robin-hood

Here are the Russian made Pvblivs figures that you can get for about $50.00 a set. They are expensive, but they are sculpted really nice. The last two sets are the best in my option.

vikings1avikings2avikings3a 

The last plastic figures that I will use, and will have to convert to use are Dulcop Robin Hood Merry Men and their Normans. They are ok, I like the archer figure. So I will find another set of these to convert with different heads. And will have to convert the others, like the Normans. They need new weapons and shields.

Ok, so what started as a simple post on talking about comparing different figures has grown into this. I will be posting some other articles over the next few months and next year about Viking Longships, my painted figures, and other playset items. The next few months and following year with be exciting for medieval collectors. Hopefully Conte will have new items and recast the older plastic figures, W. Britain talks about creating a Village. Will we see cottages, farmers, or who knows what?? I would like to see something that we can use to set up a village, the last one was by Conte. Too bad I missed that. Maybe somebody will make another Viking Longship? W. Britain and First Legion should be coming out with more figures next year. I think we shall see more Vikings, Saxons and Normans to add to our armies 🙂

I have to say this before I forget, but if you are not that good at painting and want some nice figures. Then W. Britain is the way to go, they have some great sculpted and painted metal figures that are priced fairly. Plus I think they are going to expand this range with scenic pieces. Also the new poses they are coming out this fall are really nice, they will make a scene pop out. Vikings and Saxons fought a lot in the Shieldwall formation and this is what I am going to try to do in one of the dioramas I am planning. The Britains have a bunch of figures in a shieldwall pose, plus do the Conte Saxons. I will try to do that in the future too, showing the different figures that I will use for this.

And lastly the First Legion Vikings, I wonder what else the will release next year.

vikingspreview2vikingspreview

So there it is, lol. Sorry that I kept rambling on. I thought I would never finish this post. So if you want just plastic, you can chose from the ones above. There are other brands out there, maybe you have one to add? Also most of the old Marx, Airfix and other brands are to small for me to include or too big for me to include. If you just want painted metal and don’t want to spend to much, go for the W. Britain figures and you can find some of the old Cone figures on eBay for a deal here and there. Thanks for reading and keep an eye out for future posts 🙂

 

Toy Soldiers Review ~ Publius Vikings

pvblivs-vikings

Last week I finally picked up some of the Russian made Publius Vikings. I got sets number 2 and 3. I missed out on the first set, because at the time I didn’t want to spend the money to get these. They cost about $50.00 for six figures, it is expensive. But then I started collecting different Viking figures after First Legion came out with the Viking Range. So I have been picking up First Legion Vikings, W. Britain Saxons, Conte Vikings, Saxons & Normans and Barzso Robin Hood Merry Men. Plus all kinds of other brands of medieval type figures. But more of this for future posts.

When I saw the Publius Viking Set #3 on eBay, I took the plunge and purchased that set and #2 set also. They are sculpted really good and go well with Conte, First Legion and W. Britain figures. I took a few pictures and found some stock pictures from around the net to post here. I will do another post either tomorrow or Saturday comparing the different figures that I am collecting and painting to show how well they go together. Thanks for reading 🙂

Ok, here it is the “The Battle of Stamford Bridge”. I used my Conte Battle of Stamford Bridge playset to set up this scene of the battle, where the lone Viking warrior holds the bridge against the Saxon army. It is a perfect match for Playmobil. Hope you enjoy.

“The Battle of Stamford Bridge took place at the village of Stamford Bridge, East Riding of Yorkshire, in England on 25 September 1066, between an English army under King Harold Godwinson and an invading Norwegian force led by King Harald Hardrada and the English king’s brother Tostig Godwinson. After a bloody battle, both Hardrada and Tostig along with most of the Norwegians were killed. Although Harold Godwinson repelled the Norwegian invaders, his army was defeated by the Normans at Hastings less than three weeks later. The battle has traditionally been presented as symbolising the end of the Viking Age, although major Scandinavian campaigns in Britain and Ireland occurred in the following decades, such as those of King Sweyn Estrithson of Denmark in 1069–70 and King Magnus Barefoot of Norway in 1098 and 1102–03.”

“The sudden appearance of the English army caught the Norwegians by surprise. Their response was to deploy rapidly in a defensive circle. If the Norwegians were located at Battle Flats, there is no good explanation as to why they deployed into this formation. However, if they were located on the east side of the Derwent, the deployment made perfect sense. By the time the bulk of the English army had arrived, the Vikings on the west side were either slain or fleeing across the bridge. The English advance was then delayed by the need to pass through the choke-point presented by the bridge itself. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle has it that a giant Norse axeman (possibly armed with a Dane Axe) blocked the narrow crossing, and single-handedly held up the entire English army. The story is that this axeman cut down up to 40 Englishmen and was only defeated when an English soldier floated under the bridge in a half-barrel and thrust his spear through the laths in the bridge, mortally wounding the axeman.”

Read more below about the Battle.

Battle of Stamford Bridge

Ok, hier ist es die “Die Schlacht von Stamford Bridge”. Früher habe ich meine Conte Schlacht von Stamford Bridge playset diese Szene der Schlacht einzurichten, wo der einsame Wikinger-Krieger, die Brücke gegen die sächsische Armee hält. Es ist eine perfekte Ergänzung für Playmobil . Ich hoffe dir gefällt es.

“Die Schlacht von Stamford Bridge fand im Dorf Stamford Bridge, East Riding of Yorkshire, in England am 25. September 1066 zwischen einer englischen Armee unter König Harold Godwinson und eine Invasions norwegischen Kraft geführt von König Harald Hardrada und der englischen Königs Bruder Tostig Godwinson. nach einer blutigen Schlacht, die beide Hardrada und Tostig zusammen mit den meisten der Norweger getötet wurden. Obwohl Harold Godwinson die norwegischen Eindringlinge abgestoßen, seine Armee später von den Normannen bei Hastings weniger als drei Wochen besiegt wurde. der Kampf traditionell vorgestellt wurde wie das Ende der Wikingerzeit symbolisiert, obwohl großen skandinavischen Kampagnen in Großbritannien und Irland in den folgenden Jahrzehnten aufgetreten ist, wie die von König Sweyn Estrithson von Dänemark in 1069-1070 und König Magnus Barefoot von Norwegen im Jahre 1098 und 1102-1103. ”

“Das plötzliche Auftreten der englischen Armee fing die Norweger überrascht. Ihre Antwort schnell in eine defensive Kreis einzusetzen war. Wenn die Norweger in der Schlacht Wohnungen befanden, gibt es keine gute Erklärung dafür ist, warum sie in dieser Formation zum Einsatz. Allerdings wenn sie auf der Ostseite des Derwent gelegen waren, machte der Einsatz durchaus sinnvoll. Durch die Zeit der Großteil der englischen Armee gekommen war, wurden die Wikinger auf der Westseite entweder getötet oder über die Brücke zu fliehen. der Fortschritt Englisch war dann durch die Notwendigkeit, verzögert durch die Drossel-Punkt durch die Brücke selbst präsentiert passieren. die angelsächsische Chronik besagt, dass ein Riese der nordischen axeman (evtl. mit Dänenaxt bewaffnet) den schmalen durch~~POS=TRUNC blockiert und im Alleingang hielt die gesamte Englisch Armee. die Geschichte ist, dass diese axeman abgeholzt bis zu 40 Engländer und wurde nur besiegt, als ein englischer Soldat unter der Brücke in einem halben Fass schwebte und stieß seinen Speer durch die Latten in der Brücke, die tödlich axeman Verwundung. ”

Ok, voici le “La bataille de Stamford Bridge”. J’ai utilisé mon Conte bataille de Stamford Bridge playset pour mettre en place cette scène de la bataille, où le guerrier Viking seul détient le pont contre l’armée saxonne. Il est un match parfait pour Playmobil. Espérons que vous apprécierez.

“La bataille de Stamford Bridge a eu lieu dans le village de Stamford Bridge, East Riding of Yorkshire, en Angleterre, le 25 Septembre 1066, entre une armée anglaise sous le roi Harold Godwinson et une force norvégienne invasion menée par le roi Harald Hardrada et le frère du roi anglais Tostig Godwinson. Après une bataille sanglante, à la fois Hardrada et Tostig ainsi que la plupart des norvégiens ont été tués. Bien que Harold Godwinson repoussé les envahisseurs norvégiens, son armée a été vaincue par les Normands à Hastings moins de trois semaines plus tard. La bataille a toujours été présenté comme symbolisant la fin de l’époque des Vikings, bien que les grandes campagnes scandinaves en Grande-Bretagne et d’Irlande se sont produits au cours des décennies suivantes, telles que celles du roi Sweyn Estrithson du Danemark en 1069-70 et le roi Magnus Barefoot de la Norvège en 1098 et 1102 à 1103 “.

“L’apparition soudaine de l’armée anglaise a pris les Norvégiens par surprise. Leur réponse a été de déployer rapidement dans un cercle défensif. Si les Norvégiens étaient situés à Battle Flats, il n’y a aucune explication quant à la raison pour laquelle ils ont déployé dans cette formation. Cependant, si elles étaient situées sur le côté est de la Derwent, le déploiement est parfaitement logique. au moment où la majeure partie de l’armée anglaise était arrivé, les Vikings du côté ouest ont été soit tués ou en fuite à travers le pont. l’avance anglaise était alors retardée par la nécessité de passer à travers le starter point présenté par le pont lui-même. la Chronique anglo-saxonne veut qu’un axeman Norse géant (peut-être armé d’un Dane Axe) a bloqué le passage étroit, et à lui seul a tenu jusqu’à l’ensemble armée anglaise. l’histoire est que ce axeman coupé jusqu’à 40 Anglais et n’a été battu quand un soldat anglais flottait sous le pont dans un demi-tonneau et enfonça sa lance à travers les lattes dans le pont, blessant mortellement le axeman “.

Spanish

Ok, aquí está el “La batalla de Stamford Bridge”. Yo uso mi Conte batalla de Stamford Bridge set de juego para configurar este escenario de la batalla, donde el guerrero vikingo solitario sostiene el puente contra el ejército sajón. Es un complemento perfecto para Playmobil. Espero que lo disfrutes.

“La batalla de Stamford Bridge tuvo lugar en la localidad de Stamford Bridge, East Riding de Yorkshire, en Inglaterra el 25 de septiembre 1066, entre un ejército Inglés bajo el rey Harold Godwinson y una fuerza de Noruega invadir conducido por el rey Harald Hardrada y hermano del rey Inglés Tostig Godwinson. Tras una sangrienta batalla, tanto Hardrada y Tostig junto con la mayoría de los noruegos fueron asesinados. Aunque Harold Godwinson repelió a los invasores noruegos, su ejército fue derrotado por los normandos en Hastings menos de tres semanas después. La batalla ha sido tradicionalmente presentada como símbolo del fin de la época de los vikingos, a pesar de las grandes campañas escandinavos en Gran Bretaña e Irlanda se produjo en las décadas siguientes, tales como las del rey Sweyn Estrithson de Dinamarca en 1069-1070 y el rey Magnus Barefoot de Noruega en 1098 y 1102 a 1103 “.

“La aparición repentina del ejército Inglés atrapó a los noruegos por sorpresa. Su respuesta fue para desplegar rápidamente en un círculo defensivo. Si los noruegos estaban ubicados en la batalla de pisos, no hay una buena explicación de por qué se implementan en esta formación. Sin embargo, si se encuentran en el lado este de la Derwent, el despliegue tenía sentido. Por el momento había llegado el grueso del ejército Inglés, los Vikings en el lado oeste o estaban muertos o huyendo a través del puente. el avance Inglés era entonces retrasado por la necesidad de pasar a través del estrangulador puntos presentado por el propio puente. la Crónica anglosajona dice que un leñador nórdica gigante (posiblemente armado con un Hacha danesa) bloqueó el estrecho paso, y sin ayuda de nadie levantó la totalidad ejército Inglés. la historia es que este axeman redujo hasta 40 ingleses y sólo fue derrotado cuando un soldado Inglés flotaba bajo el puente en un medio cañón y metió su lanza a través de los listones en el puente, hiriendo de muerte al hachero “.

Εντάξει, εδώ είναι το “Η μάχη του Stamford Bridge”. Θα χρησιμοποιηθεί Conte μάχη μου Stamford Bridge playset να συσταθεί αυτή η σκηνή της μάχης, όπου ο μοναχικός Βίκινγκ πολεμιστής κατέχει τη γέφυρα εναντίον του στρατού Saxon. Είναι ένα τέλειο ταίρι για Playmobil. Ελπίζω να σου αρέσει.

«Η μάχη του Stamford Bridge έλαβε χώρα στο χωριό του Stamford Bridge, East Riding του Γιορκσάιρ, στην Αγγλία στις 25 Σεπτεμβρίου 1066 μεταξύ ενός αγγλικού στρατού κάτω από το βασιλιά Χάρολντ Β της Αγγλίας και της εισβολής νορβηγική δύναμη υπό την ηγεσία του βασιλιά Χάραλντ Γ της Νορβηγίας και ο αδελφός της αγγλικής βασιλιά Tostig Godwinson. Μετά από μια αιματηρή μάχη, τόσο Hardrada και Tostig μαζί με τους περισσότερους από τους Νορβηγούς σκοτώθηκαν. Αν Χάρολντ Β της Αγγλίας απέκρουσε τις νορβηγικές εισβολείς, ο στρατός του νικήθηκε από τους Νορμανδούς σε Hastings λιγότερο από τρεις εβδομάδες αργότερα. Η μάχη έχει παραδοσιακά παρουσιάζονται όπως συμβολίζει το τέλος της εποχής των Βίκινγκς, αν και σημαντικές σκανδιναβικές εκστρατείες στη Βρετανία και την Ιρλανδία σημειώθηκαν κατά τις επόμενες δεκαετίες, όπως εκείνες του βασιλιά Sweyn Estrithson της Δανίας 1069-1070 και ο βασιλιάς Magnus Barefoot της Νορβηγίας στο 1098 και 1102-1103. ”

«Η ξαφνική εμφάνιση του Αγγλικού στρατού που αλιεύονται τα Νορβηγοί από την έκπληξη. Η απάντησή τους ήταν να αναπτύξουν γρήγορα σε μια αμυντική κύκλο. Αν οι Νορβηγοί βρίσκονται σε μάχη Flats, δεν υπάρχει καμία καλή εξήγηση ως προς το γιατί αναπτύσσονται σε αυτόν τον σχηματισμό. Ωστόσο, αν βρίσκονταν στην ανατολική πλευρά του Derwent, η ανάπτυξη ήταν απολύτως λογική. Μέχρι τη στιγμή που το μεγαλύτερο μέρος του αγγλικού στρατού είχε φτάσει, οι Βίκινγκς στη δυτική πλευρά είτε σκοτωθεί είτε προσπαθούν να ξεφύγουν πέρα από τη γέφυρα. η αγγλική εκ των προτέρων ήταν τότε καθυστέρησε από την ανάγκη να περάσει μέσα από το πηνίο σημείων που παρουσιάζονται από την ίδια την γέφυρα. το αγγλοσαξονικό Chronicle λέει ότι ένα γιγαντιαίο Νορβηγών τσεκούρι (πιθανώς οπλισμένος με ένα Δανό Axe) μπλοκάρει τη στενή διάβαση, και μόνη κατέχει το σύνολο του αγγλικό στρατό. Η ιστορία είναι ότι αυτό το τσεκούρι περικόψει έως και 40 Άγγλους και νικήθηκε μόνο όταν ένας Άγγλος στρατιώτης επιπλέει κάτω από τη γέφυρα σε μισό-βαρέλι και ώθηση δόρυ του μέσα από τα πηχάκια στη γέφυρα, θανάσιμα τραυματίζοντας τον με τσεκούρι. ”

Greetings, sorry for the lack of post of lately. I been busy with work and other projects around the house. Anyway, here is something that I made months ago and would like to share with you guys & girls. Here is another Viking, this fellow has a custom made Valsgarde helmet. I attached some tape and stocking material to give it a chain mail effect. It was a pain and to while to get it to stay. I don’t think I will do another in the near future, but I liked the way it turned out. Thanks again, for visiting. I will have a few more post this weekend on different topics.

Grüße, sorry für den Mangel an Stelle des in letzter Zeit. Ich beschäftigt mit Arbeit und anderen Projekten rund um das Haus. Wie auch immer, hier ist etwas, das ich Monate zuvor gemacht und möchte mit euch und Mädchen zu teilen. Hier ist eine andere Viking, hat dieser Mann eine maßgeschneiderte Valsgärde Helm. Ich legte etwas Klebeband und Strumpfmaterial es eine Kette Mail-Effekt zu geben. Es war ein Schmerz und zum Verweilen, um es zu bleiben. Ich glaube nicht, dass ich eine andere in naher Zukunft tun wird, aber ich mochte die Art und Weise sich herausstellte . Nochmals vielen Dank für Ihren Besuch. Ich werde zu verschiedenen Themen ein paar mehr Post an diesem Wochenende haben.

Salutations, désolé pour le manque de poste de ces derniers temps. J’ai été occupé avec le travail et d’autres projets autour de la maison. Quoi qu’il en soit, voici quelque chose que j’ai fait il y a quelques mois et je voudrais partager avec vous les gars et les filles. Voici un autre Viking, cet homme a un casque Valsgarde sur mesure. Je joint un certain matériel de bande et de stockage pour lui donner un effet de cotte de mailles. Il était une douleur et de temps pour le faire rester. Je ne pense pas que je vais faire une autre dans un proche avenir, mais je l’ai aimé la façon dont il est avéré. Merci encore, pour visiter. Je vais avoir un peu plus après ce week-end sur différents sujets.

Saludos, lo siento por la falta de puesto de los últimos tiempos. He estado ocupado con el trabajo y otros proyectos alrededor de la casa. De todos modos, aquí hay algo que hice hace meses y me gustaría compartir con ustedes y niñas. Aquí es otra de Viking, éste tiene un casco Valsgärde por encargo. Os adjunto un poco de cinta y el almacenamiento de material para darle un efecto de cota de malla. Era un dolor y de tiempo para conseguir que se quede. Creo que no voy a hacer otra en un futuro próximo, pero me gustó la forma en que resultó. Gracias de nuevo, por su visita. Voy a tener un poco más puesto este fin de semana en diferentes temas.

Χαιρετισμοί, συγγνώμη για την έλλειψη θέση του τον τελευταίο καιρό. Θα ήταν απασχολημένος με τη δουλειά και άλλα έργα γύρω από το σπίτι. Τέλος πάντων, εδώ είναι κάτι που έκανα μήνες πριν και θα ήθελα να μοιραστώ μαζί σας παιδιά και τα κορίτσια. Εδώ είναι ένα άλλο Viking, αυτός ο άνθρωπος έχει ένα custom made Valsgarde κράνος. Ι που επισυνάπτεται κάποια ταινία και αποθήκευση υλικών για να του δώσει ένα αποτέλεσμα mail αλυσίδα. Ήταν ένας πόνος και λίγο χρόνο για να το πάρει για να μείνει. Δεν νομίζω ότι θα κάνω μια άλλη στο εγγύς μέλλον, αλλά μου άρεσε ο τρόπος που αποδείχθηκε. Ευχαριστώ και πάλι, για την επίσκεψη. Θα έχω μερικές ακόμα μετά αυτό το Σαββατοκύριακο σχετικά με διάφορα θέματα.

Hi everybody, I have been busy making some new beards and braids from the Playmobil Vikings. Here are some of the figures that I made. One I updated him by adding a braided mustache. By using epoxy and either sculpting or cloning items, I was able to make these new beards and braids. I keep getting better for the most part, creating new accessories for Playmobil. What else do you think I should try next???

Eines habe ich ihn durch Zugabe eines geflochtenen Bart aktualisiert. Durch die Verwendung von Epoxy und entweder Bildhauerei oder Klonen Artikel, ich war in der Lage, diese neuen Bärte und Zöpfe machen. Ich halte, besser in den meisten Fällen, die Schaffung neuer Zubehör für Playmobil. Was glaubst du, ich sollte versuchen nächsten ???
