I was probably 7 or 8 years old before I realized that Mom and Santa used the same roll of wrapping paper  I have friends who felt that telling their kids about santa would be lying to them, it's no big deal. By all means, tell them it is from me. Besides, Every time I go to the store, I keep picking up a few more of those mystery figure packages, so I keep getting more duplicates that I don't want. I think I can soon build an army of the sport guys I also have some of the girl Playmo figs for them. I'm sure they need a princess to rescue right?

I already have 3-4 of the uncle sams, I stole their beards for my Confederate army
those figs are already out here in the US, those have been what I have been buying bags of. But I haven't seen an Elvis or Laura Croft. Often, Playmobil releases different sets in the US and other countries than in Germany. I got the Collector's book that shows every set from 74-2009

ah ok... well should i search for certain bags for you...? you just have to say the word mate
well of course the idea for an uncle sam could be only rooted in the US... here in german most peeps might think he is an icecreamseller^^
is it that round and curly looking beard the posh guys have or is it a longer version of the santa beard?
also...only 4 hours left till the 23. of december shifts towars the 24th...

It's the mustache-less beard, or chin beard, as opposed to the full beard and mustache like the cowboys and pirates have. I have plenty, but I would like to find more of the sideburns like the Confederate soldiers from a few years ago.

I have a few of them, but they only come with the direct services Union Officer now. I have 25 Union and 25 Confederate infantry now, and I bought a whole gaggle of muskets with bayonettes from a dude in Greece on ebay. The Winchester repeating rifles they come with are a bit too futuristic for American Civil War infantry, especially the South, those boys used their own personal hunting muskets more often than any Issued weapons. I also need more variety of cowboy hats and vests and such, since most Confederates did not have a grey uniform like the movies always portray. Merry Christmas Vik!

oh yeah... those were the times! miss that plastic work too...
thanks dave! i wrote a letter just the other minute for my kids from santa... he will be not getting in touch wioth them this year but he will leave his sack full of presents on our doorstep nevertheless...i have to spin the tale for them^^
as for the cobbled look of confederates... i totally agree... and iirc playmobil provides a wide range of those hats... be sure to use the occasional bowler hat or top hat too... they give such a finished look to the mixed platoons! also i totally agree yet again to the weaponswap... old flintlock muskets are a must... i bet it is the same in the movies with those MP´s the germans always carry around... that tech was so seldomly seen on the battlefield... my grandpa told me he had to actually steel from a MP (now Military police) his sidegun, to protect hinmself in a tight corner...even pistols were hardly ever seen... the average doe gets the gun that is expandable...so old hunting rifles is totally a good decision...
do you happen to know this gun type by the way:

that could be a good addition...
and yep: i wish you a peaceful christmas my friend!

christmas day is finally over... all sated and suitably gifted... we have plenty of lego atlantis already done and two more sets tomorrow to be build...pics i will show here too as i think the crowd here might apreciate it... my son felix already begun to creativily reconstruct some old sets in a new fashion to enrichen the terrain^^
also:
cool yanks and confederates forces... but didn´t you say last time that you wanted to go for a more individual lok on the grey guys? they look highly uniform atm... which is at first glance a true eyecandy^^ and now i marvel at what other nice things are stored in that rack those are standing in...

Some Xmas hobby suply drop goodness to share:
My Wonderful GF gave me the "Eavy Metal Kolinsky Sable brush set, the 'Eavy Metal Masterclass book, and the White Dwarf subscription-in-a-box (including the badass finecast White Dwarf mini with pop-gun!
Even she is telling me I need to spend more time at my painting bench.
@ Skalk and Vik- Playmobil sells the Union and Confederate figs in Army Builder sets of three for $10, the rest were all cheap ebay scores from the past month or so. That is why they all look a bit uniform right now. This is also why I am now hunting more bitz to individualize them.

Every year they create an exclusive White Dwarf mini and then destroy the molds at the end of the year, kind of like the Games Day exclusive mini. I've been using a Windsor &Newton Kolinsky sable for a couple of years, it will be nice to add a couple more to the rotation, If kept clean, they REALLY keep their points sharp.

Ok, so IF I were to get back to the painting bench, what gang first? Delaques or Ratskins?
If you say Delaques, does anyone know what colors GW used for the brown trench coats in their studio miniatures?

^^ Yeah just get painting, it will stop you waffling on about nostalgic stuff!
On a more serious note the ratskins would look really cool. But if you do delaques the colour is probably bleached bone washed with devlan mud or the ink form back then.
