Removing decals from Playmobil

How to remove decals from Playmobil!

With many thanks to playmofriends forums (which I kindly suggest you all  to join) I've finally found a way to remove easily the decals from playmobil klickies.

18th Century - French Regulars with new ammo boxes

My new custom:

French Regulars in Nouvelle-France, second half of 18th century.





Lately I've been looking for a way to represent the soldier's ammo boxes.

Until now my first choice was the satchel.

There was another problem, due to the material of the purse's bandolier this tend to remain raised.
