Cheng,
Your Zouaves are very cool.
Thanks for sharing.
I was even ashamed of mine.
How do you get that white hat?

please dont be ashamed Leonardo, we all started somewhere and takes time and also depends on how hard/easy it is to get the correct parts (or how deep our pockets are :P) AND whether we want to use non-playmo-parts, agreed?
those white caps were casted by our talented Malone and given to me by Gaspodfreud(right? ;)), I had hoped for such caps for a long time but its a part Geobar might never make in my lifetime, so no point waiting (only the black peak is painted)

Cheng,
Unfortunately I do not have much skill in paintings, drawings, etc..
So my customizations are limited to using 100% Playmobil pieces.
I really admire the ability to produce own items.
Also, as I said in another post, Playmobil costs 2.5X more expensive in Brazil.
Also, an international order takes 30 to 60 days to reach.
In a year already managed to gather 2,000 pieces for customization, all original parts playmobil.
I confess that these pieces costed the value of a simple car.
You know someone who sells items for customization playmobil?
Thank you.
Leonardo

its good to limit/restrict our customizations, you'll be enjoying this hobby for years ;)
I dont buy from any other re-sellers, we dont have pay pal (mine are almost all from Germany, slow and expensive to my side of the globe)
so I think its good to just use 100% PM parts like I did when I first discovered customizing...with room for improvements in future ;)

Cheng,
I have seen in ebay some itens from Playmalone.
Do you know or have something of him?
His itens are perfect for customization.
Thanks

thank you, I have been following all the customs he shows here but not on ebay, they probably belong to our (same) friend here, Malone ;)
Agreed, his parts are accurate, very detailed and are perfect for PM customs.
