I do wish we had oval shields with Celtic designs. :)

would you all believe my first reaction when I read WoT's wish, I immediately thought of cowabounga....and thinking of replying WoT; "why dont you try persuading cowabounga into making Celtic Shield stickers  ;D ;D ;D ;D
...and you, Arnaud replied by chance?! or ESP?  ;)

or WoT, you can paint freehand better than the Celts could for sure!

...maybe I'll just spray the second set of shoes brown instead of blue(are blue shoes ok?)!!

Cheng:  I've sometimes used gold shoes on my Vikings.  I then put a gold helmet on them to make them into Viking "kings" or leaders of some sort.  Completely ahistorical, of course, but fun for my kids....

Great customs.

I don't know - PM makes me wonder sometimes. Every new knight they release nowadays, they seem to use that horrible fantasy shield (vide the new super specials) ... and yet they never used the Egyptian shield, which has been used to amazing effect by the likes of Arnaud for quite a while now. The same goes for the Masai shield.  ::) ::) ::) I agree it would make a very good celtic shield.

thanks WoT!
they way you cut those axes give them a kind of 'cruel' character..i dont know how to desbribe it but they do look more frightening which should look good with a bunch of smiling horde  :lol:
...do you have any drawings/photos to show me how they really look? (i dont doubt your customs...I just want to see the 'real' stuff  ;) )

and Kenny, no worries...as long as they look good in your eyes, thats all that matters...I'll show you my latest Celt...I didnt respray his blue shoes  :P

@Bolingbroke:
I've accepted the fact that PM designers dont have us in mind at all....they just make what they think kids or their shopping parents want...any Judokas or Japanese Geisha they launch is just coincidental....and those Fi?ures they launched are not because they finally relented and gave in to us customisers...but because LEGO and a few more companies have been doing this (kitty kat etc) and getting extra shelf spaces at counters and aisle hooks...even in shops that does not sell toys! (sorry for digressing...but I dont want to start a new ranting thread to spoil my day hehe!!)
