hello Birdie , thanks , not sure but i think i guess the meaning of theses worlds together now .
Hauden Lukas : Many thanks !! i really appeciate your sincerity and it's very rare to get feedback we can discuss on forums !
Yes : my custom are always dominated by 2 colors , i play with contrast . I want to keep playmobil style when i do 100 % playmo customs and i change the original when there's too many colors for piece because i don't find them "used to the eyes" . Same thing for my buiding : with a base of 2 colors and finding furniyure as well, i find that more pleasant to see .
You're right : it would be easy to make 100 customs (fasltly or not) in blue and white for example using different collar and hats and combine blue and white : that's also someting i want to show in here .Theses customs could maybe be a great "base" to add another color but not 4 or 5 for me !! Simplicity doesn't mean fast made all the time and i find them most of time better than customs too complicate .
When i have to chose between be near conformity and be "good for the eyes" i alway chose the second solution : in life , we can see many colors and it's sometimes not beautifull to see so i have no interest to do that .
Customs with more than 4 colors who are pleasant to see are of course more dificult to do and i haven't see many i like but when they are good , i appreciate it !!
Sure it's more difficult to do a custom nice to see with a lot of colors , i most of time use 3 but rarelly more , i know someone who do very creative custom with many colors , it's always a pleasure to see the parts he use but i rarelly find them beautifull , it a pleasure to see he has his own style and it's of course more interesting to look for me than someone who will mix colors like me (because i know my own style ! )
Really keep going on please if you have critical (i would be lucky to get theses kind of point of vue on my buiding ! ) , i have my own way but it's so pleasant and rare talking about what we're looking at customising playmobil !!
