Hi guys, I got the Pvblivs Vikings Set # 3 the other day. I took a few pictures and then put a few different figures of different Vikings together. All in all they look good together, and the plastic ones will look better when they I finish painting them. Anyway here are a few pictures.

I took a few pictures, they look good together. I will take some more pictures tomorrow of different figures in another post to show the way they look together.

Yes your right, I am mainly painting some Conte Vikings, Normans and Saxons. Plus some Barzso Merry men, most are a little chunky. But a few like the standing archers are great. Then I have found a few older figures that I have that are not to bad and I am going start convert figures. I used to...

I seen a few people posting pictures on facebook, but I guess not what your really talking about.

I made an order about a month ago, it took about a week after the order was made to get the items. Don't think I received any update emails.

Sweet, thanks for sharing the updated pictures. All the new figures look great, I have begun painting a bunch of figures to add with some First Legion and Britains figures that I have. I hope to do something like this one day. :)

Sorry to hear, my prayers go out for him and his family. I met John a few times over the years while going to the shows, he was the one that got me into collecting again when I was in my early 20's. I would remember every year after the first show I went too, that I would get a post card in the...

Excellent pictures, looks great. I am going to get one, is he going to the East Coast Toy Soldier show next month? If he is, I will order one and then pick it up there. Thanks for sharing Jim. :D I already did a preview of the Tower on my blog page. Take a look...

Thanks, I usually use black or dark gunmetal as background color then I use a dry brush with a bright color to highlight the chain mail. I have been trying different things with Vallejo paints to see what looks the best. So far I like the results. I'm working on 25 different figures right now. I...

Just curious, when you paint the chain mail. Do you paint the mail with a metal color and then give it a black wash?

The head looks a lot better.

Cool, I try to see if I can use the stocking material with some epoxy. Keep an eye out in the next few weeks on my website, I started painting again :D I have not painted any toy soldiers in about 3 years. And I really have not been painting like I used to, in about 10 years. I started using the...

The figure looks a lot better with that last paint job, nice work with the face. Thanks for the tip on the website, that is mine :D I started with those Vikings, but I am waiting for some new epoxy, figures and came up with some new ideas. Between work and working at my house, it has been hard...

Thanks for sharing Sapper, I am planning on trying something like this in the future. I like the scratch built stockade and buildings, did you use teddy bear fur for the roofs? Right now I am gathering some figures, buildings, ships, and other things. Plus getting some painted metal figures...

I think it looks great, can't wait to see the rocky base. Looks nice with the castle and as a stand alone piece.

I have over a thousand figures, been converting them with custom pieces. They are really big in Europe, as you can see by the article.

Here are some more pictures, I got one of the Play Big ships earlier this year and am going to convert it for Playmobil. The other one I just got, and was thinking of painting it and converting it for Toy Soldiers.

Hi, does anybody use or have they customized Playmobil or Play Big Viking ships for Toy Soldiers? I am one of the biggest collectors of Playmobil in the USA, and I also collect and just started to trying to customize toy soldiers. I started customizing Playmobil figures about 3 years ago. Anyway...

I started a project to convert some Jecsan Vikings with bigger shields and different helmets. Maybe I will try something with their weapons too. Thanks, Mike.

Hi, I'm looking to add some more Conte Saxons to my collection. If anybody has any to spare, let me know. Thanks, Mike
