Shadows Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 As Halloween approaches, I felt it was time to change my avatar to something appropriate. Glancing at a spare Captain Redbeard sitting on a shelf, I realised that his torso would make the perfect scary military style uniform necessary for a headless horseman figure I had thought of making, and the epaulettes and cutlass would match well too. I added a basic black cape and swapped out his hook and yellow hand to represent black gloves, then topped off with a jack-o-lantern to end up with this: It isn't the most original build in the world, but it gets the job done. So, as we approach a new era for pirates, complete with new minifigs, what else could you do with your classic pirate torsos? What do you think could be made with them? Please share your ideas here, and if you have pics, those are most certainly welcome as well. Quote
Guss Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 ahah, nice^^ maybe replace the horse by a tiny boat ? can be nice^^ Quote
Capn Frank Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 I'm usually looking for ways to use my town, star wars, and other fig torsos for pirates. It's been a years since i've made a non-pirate MOC. Quote
Zorro Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 I use that very same torso for my Napoleonic Army, I usually make them into a German or Austrian unit (landwehr) , they carry top hats and the brown epaulettes. Quote

A good call there. In the Legend of Sleepy Hollow, the horseman was a Hessian during the Revolutionary War, so that's not a bad match at all. Nice avatar, by the way. My dream theme would be a cross between Pirates and Wild West in the form of Zorro. Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted October 10, 2008 Governor Posted October 10, 2008 ImperialShadows has become a pumpkinheaded fiend! Not that he wasn't before, it's just really obvious now (HA! I kill you with your own smiley!) I see the the headless horseman resembelence from the Legend of Sleep, it somewhat reminds me of Oo7's entry for last years's Pirate Halloween contest, except a bit more pumpkiny. Quote
Thomas B. Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 (edited) Good joke Mister Phes! I shall burn ImperialShadow's pumpkin head in my PTV contest entry. (Well, that's a maybe, OR I MIGHT DO IT FOR REAL! Edited October 11, 2008 by Thomas B. Quote
Captain Zuloo Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 Ah yes - I use that same Captain Redbeard torso for my merchant captains and other millitary uniforms. It is good because it doesn't have guns, swords etc. hanging from it. Quote
