I would truly marry you sight unseen SIMPLY for your artistry!
This could cost you your fleet, I love my pirates and I've always wanted a complete collection!
Mmmmmmmmmmm what possibilities! I would need to find a very understanding man to put up with my odd obsession
I am curious, though, how much more fragile are they once they have been customized, compared to beforehand? I face this same dilema when customizing playmoships, as the more ornate/realistic I customize the playmobil ship, then the less the ship can be tossed around and abused (and survive) as it was designed to do in its stock form. Are all the accessories fastened securely like real clothes? Or are some of the accessories perhaps glued on, making the figure more of a display-only type of figurine? (Not that you'd have any reason to do much "action" type play with royal courtiers, who, in real life, pretty much do just stand around for "display" only, lol.
Yes everything is glued on but I wouldn't want to just chuck them in a box, at the moment they're in a glass display cabinet until the new year when I can rebuild my mansion. The arms and heads move so they can be posed but like all ladies with big skirts they can't sit down and you'd ruin the effect if you took of their skirts, so only limited amount of play I'm afraid.
As to the ships you'll just have to take a look at mine over the weekend, I've jazzed up a galleon and I'll take pictures soon to show you. I think it depends on if you want to sail your boat for real or not as to how much you can customise it. Ask MacGayver about his ships I think they float and they are brillant customs.
whoa. Emma, you need your own fanclub! I know I'd join.
thanks very much for the complement but I wouldn't have the time
I'm afraid the closet I could get is if I get any followers on my blogsite!
