This will really conserve space when building armies!

Just recently I was contemplating something like this, using that same piece for tricorn hats! I hadn't come up with a suitable torso part, but these certainly work. The legs look a little short, but otherwise it's pretty cool. And that horse is nice. Will you be using these in a micro build?

Haha agreed. Funnily enough the limiting factor on me making a ton of these was I only have a few 1x1 round yellow plates (used as lemons in a MOC last year).

Yes, would love to see what you come up with! Not planning to use these in a micro build just now, but maybe in the future!

I was also toying with the idea of using black headlight bricks as shakos

Black antenna base as a kind of bicorne

And the plate with vertical tooth as a kind of redcoat coat

When life gives you lemons... build an army!

@evancelt The headlight brick would be rather large for a shako at this scale. How would the antenna base look atop a 1x1 round black plate for a shako? As for heads, you could use tan instead of yellow for a flesh look, if you have them.

Neat. Tiny, yet easy to recognize that they're meant to be. Way cheaper way to army build than minifigs.

Just playing around with adding a background to the cutout MOC after reading Brick Nerd's new post on the subject! Looks like JJ Abrams took the photo!

This is surprisingly impressive :-)

Very nice micros, I like the very last shot with the background... @evanceltDo you have a link for the brick nerd tuto ?

Fantastic way to build an army!

Now put them in a Caribbean setting pursing pirates!

'kay, now you need to make some Highlanders as well. Just to fit in with the picture.

Just epic!!! You did it again! Now I must search out to theoretically calculate how many of those soldiers I can build with my brick collection!

Napoleonic armies of micro<X<medi scale at their finest!
