Lt. Col. Thok Posted February 3, 2009 (edited) Vig. 58b Disclaimer: As opposed to my other pirate mocs, this was an experimental battle scene, to see if Pirates lego + snow + Ketchup would equal a realistic battle scene. In this Moc, we return to Upper Canada and our intrepid redcoats... ..are under attack! The survivors. An artilleryman preps a shot... ...But meets an unfourtunate end. The Colonel (me, yet again ) prepares to lead his men in a gallant attack... ...But gets swept off his horse by a bullet... ..and killed. The grisly scene so far. EDIT: Reaction positive! I will finish! The Remaining Redcoats are still under fire, leaderless and gunless. "What do we do, Sarge?" "We charge! It's what the Colonel woulda wanted." "Are you sure?" "Yes! Let's go!" "England!" The Sarge is plucked off by the enemy... ...but the lone redcoat charges on! Only to be hit by a cannon ball. (Ouch) The grisly (not grizzly ) scene. Questions/Comments? Link to Part 1 and Part 2 Thus concludes my Pirates in the Snow miniseries. If you want more, comment in this topic's new poll.

Capt. Kirk Posted February 3, 2009 (edited) I like your liquid Lego in Photo 4... or is it ketchup... Ever tried to create the snow with real bricks... like a lot of Let say with 10000 of # 4073... Edited February 3, 2009 by Capt. Kirk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Huntleyfx Posted February 4, 2009 It's an interesting concept, but I'm not quite sure about the ketchup. I do enjoy the outdoor locations though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zorro Posted February 4, 2009 It's an interesting concept, but I'm not quite sure about the ketchup. I do enjoy the outdoor locations though. Personally I love the ketchup (please tell me it IS ketchup you used as blood!) And I love these snowy scenes a lot as well, good job ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legoking Posted February 4, 2009 I like that you have extended from your old, winter MOC. Great job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CommanderCody77 Posted February 4, 2009 Why is there grass if its in Northern Canada? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Blackmoor Posted February 4, 2009 I like it, the story as well. :pir-skull: I also like the ketchup ( or isn't it? ) used for blood, the snow is great too. Can't wait to see more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ratshot Posted February 4, 2009 I love the use of the ketchup. Looking forward to the next part. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lt. Col. Thok Posted February 10, 2009 I've uploaded the last of the pictures. That's all for my original batch of photos. Do you want more? Comment in the new poll. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Huntleyfx Posted February 10, 2009 I like it. What ideas do you have for the future? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted February 10, 2009 They are the most delicious looking Imperial Guards I've seen in a long time! Interesting you've used "Do you want more Pirates in the Snow?" as the poll title because there aren't actually any pirates in those pictures. In fact, I don't think I've never seen Pirate LEGO in the snow (excluding certain artwork ) so you could be breaking new ground if you use Pirate mini-figures next time.

Lt. Col. Thok Posted February 23, 2009 They are the most delicious looking Imperial Guards I've seen in a long time! Thanks! Interesting you've used "Do you want more Pirates in the Snow?" as the poll title because there aren't actually any pirates in those pictures. In fact, I don't think I've never seen Pirate LEGO in the snow (excluding certain artwork ) so you could be breaking new ground if you use Pirate mini-figures next time. Perhaps...hmmm, that is food for thought. You've given me an excellent idea, Phes; I shall try it out ASAP. As for the lack of Pirates...well, would you want to be wearing bare arms in the middle of a Canadian winter? I think not. As for all those who followed this series, I do have a new series:Thok's Journey Through the World of the 19th Century. Check it out - I've actually done some real building this time!

SlyOwl Posted February 23, 2009 This says Stalingrad to me Or the Crimea, maybe. I really like the concept, and the ketchup is... interesting. I'm not a big fan of the over-stated gore (although I do like a bit) - what I'd really like to see is a less "Batman" approach, but more like these (minus the ketchup ) - Sort of bodies in the snow, mostly covered, only vague shapes. And soldiers with crutches limping through the snow. Perhaps as a Part 4? Keep it up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lt. Col. Thok Posted February 24, 2009 Thanks, Sly! I am in the midst of making a part 4 - however, I am more focused on my new series. Maybe I won't use ketchup next time.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lego12 Posted February 25, 2009 I've been following your series and I never commented until now and I wanted to say that I love these scenes with the snow and the "blood". Its very interesting and I can't wait to see a Part 4! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
