Greeks & Romans

They look great (thought I didn't read the book)...

Where are the legionnaires' legs from?

I'm always glad to hear that!

The pages narrating Petronius's death are among the most moving I've ever read. I can't say I cared too much for the main plot, but the way that character was crafted, one couldn't help growing fond of him.

Actually, I only changed the heads and hair; the rest is the Roman soldier from the Movie Series 1.

Not unlike most Playmobil fans, I was delighted by the Greek gods series. A couple of them, though, turned out not quite as good as the others in my opinion.

Here's a different – if pretty basic – take on Artemis.

She's great!

And you are right, a couple of them are really REALLY lame (and lazy) - though a great step in the right direction, and I was also delighted about them!

Nice! I also very much like the dusk setting in your pictures. But I am shocked to see a bow mangled!

I recognise the feeling, though didn't find 9525 Artemis all that bad (yours is looking much better, though). It is 70213 Aphrodite who really puts me off. So much that she is the only Greek god whom I did not obtain for my collection. Did you improve her as well?

Best wishes

Much better than the pink version of Playmobil! She was one of the least intriguing Playmobil gods. Nice try to correct it!

I'm glad it was well-received! Thanks to fellow Playmofriend JLMatterer for showing me how filters can drastically improve a photo.

Guilty as charged! I liked the look enough to sacrifice a bow in order to achieve it.

It very much depends on one's own idea of the character, I reckon. My mental image of Greek gods is mostly flowing robes, tunics and skirts – illustrations by Libico Maraja shaped it this way when I was a child. Magenta Artemis looked... outlandish? to me.

I'm sorry to say no, I haven't tried to tackle Aphrodite: I wouldn't know where to start with her, I'm afraid.

Excellent correction of Artemis. She was a weak klicky, I especially don't like the "vine" print on her torso. Looks tacky. My best guess is they were trying to break up the monotony of all white robes - wasn't monotonous to me though! Anyway excellent work as usuall.

Just looked up this Maraja - great stuff!
