On a visit to Edinburgh I saw a statue commemorating of the Blackwatch and it sparked off this idea.

It's the modern Captain BrickBeard http://www.bricklink...p?P=973pb524c01

Glad you like it.

Nice Work. I think I prefer the Highland Battler Legs and the imperial guard or kings officer torsos though. (Just not a fan of the cloth leg accessories, LEGO never seem to quite pull it off without it seeming tacky to me). The brickbeard torsos do work quite well though. Here's a picture of what I'm talking about below. I've also done it with the Royal Guard hat, head and/or torso and I think that works nicely but I don't have any to hand. I think the highland battler legs with the brickbeard torso might work well.

Great Highland Guardsmen, andhe. Fab use of CMF and other minifig parts.

The only thing is, I think your thread is in the wrong place. I'm not a mod but I believe that because it's only about minifigs, it should be in the Minifig Customisation forum.

I think you'll find unless I'm mistaken that, that forum is for customisation of LEGO minifigures using non-LEGO materials or techniques. Here all the parts are LEGO and there is no distorting of the parts.

You are mistaken, I'm afraid. Purist or not, a MOC that consists of minifigs only belongs in the Minifig Customisation Workshop forum. I double-checked with a mod. I know it's weird, but thems the rules. I fell foul of it myself once.
