That is a large army you've got there. Very impressive! The MOCs in the background fit perfectly within the diorama.
It is wise to check out this tutorial about deeplinking pictures. It would attract more attention to your thread.

Hope that helps, and good luck with all your soldiers!
Keep them in a healthy shape to make sure they are ready for battle every moment.

Nice diorama with lots of details. I especially like the small fortress out in the water. Good stuff! No pirate will ever dare to attack this base bristling with cannons and heavily manned by the governor's finest!

[Brig. Brick]

first: welcome to the forum

then: great collection you have there , and it deserve a post

I recomend you to make new posts, showing the out post, the governor's house and the armory, to see details

and if you wish, show us the details of your troops: grades, weapons and and quantities



and

happy holidays

[Big Cam]

Most impressive!!

Very stunning collection.

Let me know if you can't figure out deeplnking, I'd be happy to help.

In the mean time, look for this on the blog soon.

I like the shot of the governor and his guests. What wigs did you use there?

[ZCerberus]

Nice army!  Take note pirates, do not engage dirk in a ground war, he is well equipped to defeat all challengers!

I think the Gov's house could use a touch of color to add some much needed detail.  I see some nice shapes on the building, but all the white makes it look like a giant white block!

This is really cool!I wish i had an army that big but i only have 2 bluecoats and 17 redcoats.Are they blue or redcoats?

They look like they're from Woody64's 7th Mold.

Here are the examples of his Wig:



Woody showed these off in the To wig or not to wig thread.

I found some pictures. Here can you see the work in progress. I really missed a wig in the pirate collection, so i made my own.
The link gave me the reference. Sculpey Tutorial by tin7





@ZCerberus
yepp you right. The house need a renovation. If i have more time and bricks i want to rebuild the house. Maybe not only the front of the house.

@Captain Blackmoor & Big Cam
I guessed the thumbs are ok? If not i fix it or feel free to fix it

Thanks for pointing that out. They look very good I've got to try this myself some time.

Hey Dirk72,
I don't often comment on creations but I just had to ask something on your grand army. Was this by any chance at Brickfair 2010? If it wasn't then there was an army almost the same size as yours. Very impressive collection.

[Ratshot]

That is one impressive army! they could squash anyone !
Your wigs are really nice.
Thanks for sharing

Amazing work  

They look just like real LEGO headpieces! I even checked Bricklink to find the set they are from (couldn't believe how I could have missed this).

[godaikyoko]

i am impressed by your army !! very impressive !

[Commander Red Hat]

And here we have another redcoat that thinks he can beat us with just a few minifigures.  
Just kidding, you have a very impressive army and some very nice MOCs to compliment it!  
Your wigs look absolutely amazing, would you be willing to make some for the community?

[Song Dynastry]

Very impressive! I am planning to recruit my soldiers, but there are only 30-40 men. From which set did you get the wig?

[Volt]

Impressive army! I do like the wigs, and I'm thinking of attempting to make some of my own.
