Ladies for my Queen.
« on: November 13, 2011, 21:27:21 »
When I was a kid I had this set. http://collectobil.com/catalogue/items/3263x.htm

Somethings survived my childhood. The most important ones were the ladies. But they were incomplete. They were missing the necklaces and the white fabric at the back of the bonnet.

I have been trying to revive them for a while but those white things are impossible to find. So... customizing was the answer.

Now.... other thing I love almost as much as Playmo is movies. Most of all, historical movies. Hairdos is one of the things I pay attention to in order to translate them to my playmobil. I noticed that doing a very simple thing, gives playmowomen a total different look. THIS:

   

Of course something must be done about the back.  ;D With a little bit of the home made paste.... I made this.

 

I decided that those bonnets needed at least something similar to the original white clothe. I got a couple of pink bows used for the decoration for the tent in this set http://playmodb.org/setpics/4308.jpg
I cut off the bows, painted the rest gold and got this.  :love:







And here they are with their Queen.  :love: :love: :love:

As elegant as it is simple and that makes it lovely. Those klickies look totally different.

Gaston, turning the hair around is absolutely brilliant!!! With permission, I'm going to use that idea for a custom of mine that I needed a certain hairstyle for. Absolutely genius.

BP, I thought about Princess Leia, too. :lol:
