Create big custom armies?
« on: May 20, 2009, 15:37:00 »
Hi,

    As many of you probably know, i mainly like pirates and military, but now it is all military. I would like to ask how much time, money[US$], and figures it takes to build a small band of about 20, custom men. Im still not old enough for a job, and get 14$ a month so how long would it take me to build a small army between the 1700s and 1930s?
Thanks,

I don't get into the historical themes seawarrior, but I want to recommend that you may want to describe what you have in mind as far as type of figures, & equipment are concerned. The date range you have provided is very vague, & if you give more of a precise description of your needs, other members maybe able to assist you in your quest better! For instance, I have many extra figures that I would be willing to give to you if they are the needed colors, & variations you are needing at no cost, but as for equipment, I don't have many extra items available.

Do you plan on custom painting the figures?

Ah, yes, mom and dad.

My mom, however, would think that I am crazy being a grown man collecting a child's toy.
