Brickdoctor Posted May 17, 2011 (edited) I finally got around to uploading these photos - Civ V is consuming me! So the backstory goes that the Forestmen were lying in wait along a remote road, and one of their horse archers caught a young Spartan officer out for a ride alone. The horse archer herded the Spartan right into the trap. This was probably the hardest pose of the vig. I still don't think I captured the horse's position well. My favorite minifig in this one, the horse archer. It was bound to happen sooner or later. This guy never gets old. I gave him a nice brown cape and eyepatch for this vig. Rider legs technique partially stolen from BMW_Indy. Every minifig in this vig is in at least one way enhanced with a rubber LEGO piece. There're a few more closeups in the Brickshelf gallery, when public. Also on flickr and Legoarts. Finished May 2011; thanks for looking; C&C welcome!

Blackknight112 Posted May 17, 2011 Great vignette. The posing of the minifigs is great, as usual. Do I think the treenis a bit plain. Keep up the good work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Adrian86 Posted May 17, 2011 That´s a great scene. As everybody else here already said the posing looks awesome and I have never seen this technique before so I´m really impressed. Great work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brickdoctor Posted May 17, 2011 Do I think the treenis a bit plain. Unfortunately, I ran out of pieces for the tree. Being a primarily SW builder, I don't have much in the way of leaves and large brown arches. That's why I always build trees in a position that it makes sense for them to only have two large branches. Your rubber posing is first class you practically invented this style of posing. The posing of the minifigs is great, as usual. your posing is, once again, top notch. the rubber posing is brilliant. I love the realistic posing of the figs Love the posing the posing is excellent and really makes the scene complete the posing looks awesome Thanks, all. Don't know where I'd be in Castle building without that technique. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
