Rangers Apprentice
« on: April 18, 2008, 19:07:57 »
   Hi  :wave:,

 My friend just finished a great book; Rangers Apprentice
so we decided to make our own ranger from our playmobil
collections  :yup:. We painted the arms olive drab and the
 cloak black. Rangers are supposed to camoflauge and our
ranger is pretty good at that. Hope you like him!  :D

Great looking figure I must say.

Just out of curiosity though: which time period is he from?

I'm guessing he's not a Texas Ranger.  :lol:

Joking aside, the klicky looks great!

Seriously, though, we need a little more context... 

Rangers can mean:

1) elite US Army infantrymen (the Rangers), known for sticking their heads out bus windows when being transported to the rifle range like the canine-level intelligence fellows that we army linguists presumed them to be.

2) a Texas state-level law enforcement agent ("Texas Rangers") who apparently know kung-fu

3) guys who hang out at National Parks urging us to pickup litter and not start forest fires (park ranger)

4) a busy-body sort of knight in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings whose ancestors survived the Tolkien-equivalent of Atlantis and now roam around the Shire and environs counter-spying on Sauron's spies and scaring Hobbits into cleaning up litter and not starting forest fires.

5) a sniffy warrior type in Dungeons and Dragons who contributes his excess goldpieces to Greenpeace, helps to organize anti-fox hunting rallies in the UK, and can cast Druid spells starting at level 5 (but the spells suck anyway). 

I'm guessing your custom is "none of the above"....

I'm guessing he's a ranger in the sense of a mediaeval forest ranger who acted as a sort of gamekeeper looking out for poachers after the king's deer.  That's my guess, but right or not it's a great custom.

   a ranger is a kind of secret elite force that does work for the king but is a special kind of soldier, they usually do alot of secret missions and do a lot of the kings dirty work.

   He is from about the same period as lord of the rings or earagon
