You'll have a real military training soon ! so next time you'll be able to fight the pirates correctly ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dragonator Posted October 28, 2008 This looks like it will be a great read when it's finished, I'm looking forward to it! I'm sure I will find it very interesting, I've always wanted to find out a bit more about how I should position my minifigs to make them more historically accurate. It will be a very helpful resource! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lego12 Posted October 28, 2008 Good idea IS! I will surely follow your manual! I'm building an army and it is getting bigger....and this is the perfect way to make them stand accurately! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teddy Posted October 28, 2008 Dear ImperialScouts, seems like a good idea! But why are the hands of your soldiers (the ones with shakos) up side down? Don't know how one could ever manage to handle a musket like that. Kind regards, Teddy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scouty Posted October 28, 2008 Dear ImperialScouts,seems like a good idea! But why are the hands of your soldiers (the ones with shakos) up side down? Don't know how one could ever manage to handle a musket like that. Kind regards, Teddy Well, while an upside down hand is awkward for a real human, it is done here so that it allows for a greater angle for position, so it's closer to what it is IRL. Else wise, the musket would be more straight. Thanks for the comments! The Manual will include both descriptions and illustrations Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
