Great customs, well done Arnaud. I my favorite is The Ashigaru with Nagamaki, I like his hat very much. :love:
Excellent job, many thanks for sharing.

Your work and designs are really great. I was doing some reading and came across this article

I like this quote "If I was a manufacturer I would make a store that sells files that people can download and use to make my products on 3D printers. People who are interested enough in my product to make their own copies are fans, so I would nourish them, not try to sue them. " hint hint Geobra  ;)

The designs look wonderfull, but I am wondering about something: How strong is the material compared to the official playmobil?

It is not fragile. You can drop an item and it won't break, but it's definitely not as strong a PM plastic.

Hey guys!
I've been working on some new models with Rhino. I can't remember if I already posted them or not. I apologize if I have.

A new Thraex hemet.



My secutor helmet.



A Gibson Les Paul for a Slash custom.



A Fender Jag-Stang for my Kurt Cobain custom.



A crusader helmet from Kingdom of Heaven, worn by Guy de Lusignan or Renaud de Châtillon, if I remember correctly.



A spiral helmet for my friend Javi! ;)



XOXO,

Arnaud

good to see this thread moving again Arnaud!
Your 3D parts are quite robust and I've not accidentally broken any....I assume some members might have got you to mass produce some parts for their private armies (we might see here someday or on ebay!)

Geobra is moving away from historical themes so all the more , historical fans like me will find your 3D creations most satisfying and the only way forward at this point. ;)

thanks for marching on!

Thank you Master Cheng. I do believe we will be making our own parts for a long time. Hopefully, those will cost less as time goes by and people buy more and more.
We will also be making bigger parts. I'd love to see a "palanquin", or a "tower" to fit on top an elephant…

@Erwin: Rhinoceros is a CAD software. The best I've tried so far, easy and efficient ;)
