Title: Aztec warriors
Post by: Hadoque on February 20, 2012, 14:49:06
These are in addition to my Aztec emperor Montezuma from a while ago...
(I'm working on a few more for my "America & La Conquista"-theme)

Yeah.. It was my mistake... I thought it was the head that looks wasted.... that's on the figures?

Great looking Aztecs, Erwin!  They look very authentic and I love all the details.  How many Aztecs do you plan on making?

i was wondering what Tahra meant by "hangover heads" 8} ???

nice use of those "ankle rings" and quite a bold sacrifice to trim those feathers from red indian headwear, Elric!

you might someday want to use those slimmer "speedo-dad" torsos & legs coming out with the new red indians this august....I dont have any clear photo but I thought they should look something like these 3D characters (I hope I'm not deviating from your subject matter..if I am, please delete this reply/'discussion')

The "hangover head" is on the new mexican figure... have no idea what's it supposed to be.

Thanks for the comments!  :)

@Pynedor:
There are some more pics in the customs-area on the forum, several of my Spanish soldiers/Conquistadores, and sofar one from Aztec emperor "Montezuma".

@Justindo:
Just a handful: the emperor, his wife, a cruel priest ( :o ) to carry out human sacrifices, a bodyguard for the priest, a few elite-warriors (like the 2 shown above) and some warrior-hunters...
Actually just enough for some small scenes with my Spanish soldiers, or for a ceremonial scene on an Aztec pyramid (I'm still thinking about how I might make such a typical pyramid, I've a few ideas sofar but for some things I've not yet a solution). I can't use the egyptian pyramid, as those from South-America are totally different in shape.  If the pyramid doesn't work out, I'll probably just set up a "groundlevel jungle-temple" or something...

@Cheng:
I've been thinking about the new speedodad-style ( :lol:) natives, but I'm not sure if they come with "naked" legs (which would indeed be even better then the legs I used)...
From the screenshot you posted, it looks like they do have such legs, but when I look at the pics of the new boxes it seems like they are wearing trousers... ???

Any additional thoughts, remarks or ideas (about the natives or the pyramid) are welcome  :)

I think that he is supposed to be starving, tired, and/or drunk as they have used that head before on a few pirates  :lol: So hangover head I think works pretty well...

Erwin, the new indians may not have naked legs, but you could always customize using the legs from this woman (http://store.playmobilusa.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-US-Site/en_US/Product-Show?pid=4861&cgid=Freizeit-Ferienhaus).

Aha, that's a very good idea, bb!! I had forgotten about that klicky! Normally the speedo-indians' torsos should fit on her legs.  :)
I think she is the only one sofar with speedo-mom legs in a darker skin-colour? I've only one of her...somwhere, when the set came out I got it mainly for the hammock.
