woody64 Posted May 13, 2007 Cool torso's, are you going to have an army of these? I'm building up some soldiers to reproduce a drawing of the battle of fort malborghet. I will add some of these decals soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bonaparte Posted May 14, 2007 The French Infantry Officer and Soldier are new ones? Those I haven't seen before. Do you also have a larger version for the library? I'll reply to your question "Would be nice to have a gallery of the stickers" in the library thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
El Bucanero Posted May 14, 2007 It seems some talented torso designers joined the board when I was away! They look very clean and good. Bravo! Could you please take close-up pictures of your home made shakos? They look very good to me! Mr Tiber (Yeey, 2000 posts!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
woody64 Posted May 14, 2007 The French Infantry Officer and Soldier are new ones?Those I haven't seen before. Do you also have a larger version for the library? ... Yes they are new ones. I will upload a larger image to my brickshelf gallery later on. These decals are made based on a picture showing french troops storming the fort malborghet.

woody64 Posted May 14, 2007 Could you please take close-up pictures of your home made shakos? They look very good to me! Here are some pictures from some previous work. The Ulan, Husar, and top hat is made completly from some modelling clay. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/woody64/...onic/Austrians/ There you also can see a top hat rasped down to a shako.

Bonaparte Posted May 14, 2007 I have a question that you or Mosana might be able to answer. What was the purpose of the metal plate? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mosana Posted May 14, 2007 Yes. That is a gorget. It was a throwback to mediaeval armour, and was worn by officers of most countries in the Napoleonic Wars just as a way to distinguish them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bonaparte Posted May 14, 2007 Yes. That is a gorget. It was a throwback to mediaeval armour, and was worn by officers of most countries in the Napoleonic Wars just as a way to distinguish them. It's the first time I hear that name. Thanks Mosana! Now I could find the relevant wikipedia article for gorget. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bonaparte Posted May 16, 2007 Nice army! The line infantry torso looks very good on a minifig! Can you give us some background regarding the events at fort malborghet? I never heard about that fortress. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
woody64 Posted May 16, 2007 Nice army! The line infantry torso looks very good on a minifig!Can you give us some background regarding the events at fort malborghet? I never heard about that fortress. Hptm Hensel got the task to stop the french forces when they followed the Austrian army 1809 through the Kanaltal (Friaul). This was achieved with the fort malborghet. There he stopped 50.000 french forces for more then 5 days. So that the rest of the austrian army could reach a better defensive zone. The success was finally supported through french troops taking a small path behind the fort. Therefore you somethimes also can find the term austrian termophyles for this fight.

Fordo Posted May 16, 2007 That's a cool army with decals nice job, will you make scene's with the Austrian's too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
woody64 Posted May 17, 2007 That's a cool army with decals nice job, will you make scene's with the Austrian's too? In the pictures on brickshelf there are already some Austrians. But I don't have brown torsos therefore they don't look correct at the moment.

woody64 Posted August 20, 2007 (edited) I gave Mosana's tutorial a try and did a remake of some of my old Austrian designs: Landwehr Salzburg: Officer - NCO - soldier Artillery: Chevauleger: Landwehr Corinthea: Officer - NCO - soldier Hauptmann Hensel, Erzherzog Karl Infantry (with one of Mosana's originals): Officer - soldier - Hungarian soldier Cuirassier Light Infantry Edited October 7, 2007 by woody64 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
woody64 Posted October 14, 2007 (edited) Yes Very nice army eventually I will get to making an Austrian army. Since Bonaparte has raised a lot of new troops, we have to be prepared: The troops now consist of: - a regiment of light infantry (Tyrolian Jaegers) - a regiment of German/Hungarian Infantry - a gun train with train staff, and artillery crew using the "Wurmsitz" - a regiment of unmounted light dragoons - an escort of mounted light dragoons soon expected: - cuirassiers - hussars - dragoons More you can see on: Brickshelf Andreas Edited October 14, 2007 by woody64 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
