Dreamweb Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 I once wrote in this topic that I'd made a Spanish army. Here is a folder containing pictures of it, go check it out first! I used torsos from many different themes and some cool looking faces. I used three types of hats: (those torsos represent ordinary seamen, other torsos represent higher ranks, and guys with plumes are the captains). I'm not sure if there were female officers among Spanish sailors, I doubt it, however my army has one: :) The army isn't very big but will grow stronger (and pretty soon will that happen)... Quote
jonfett Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 Some nice figures here! I like your regular seamen, the green waistcoat torso works really well to give them that ordinary look. I love your (asummed) generals - http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery....y.cgi?i=1438429 I think it is the face that does it, but the fancy torsos and conquistador helms both work well too to give them a really Spanish look! ;) Jon.

Dreamweb Posted October 16, 2005 Author Posted October 16, 2005 Well, those two, as Imperial Armada collectors know, are almost original Armada figures, the only exception being the addition of the epaulettes. So they aren't my idea. However the other officers are made of more freely mixed elements. Quote
Sting Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 What is the black torso you use for one of the high commander guys? The one in the picture with the female? I can't tell from the picture. Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted October 17, 2005 Governor Posted October 17, 2005 I like these fellows! They're very important looking! Quote
Norro Posted October 17, 2005 Posted October 17, 2005 Interesting...Ithink fleshing out the fright knight torso would be the best though comparably brickspensive to Lego's. God Bless, Nathan Quote
Dreamweb Posted October 17, 2005 Author Posted October 17, 2005 Some of this torsos are of origin unknown to me, probably from Castle, but I'm not sure... I just got them in brick packs I bought from various people. Is there a Fright Knight torso here? :) Quote

Governor Mister Phes Posted October 17, 2005 Governor Posted October 17, 2005 And here's a clearer image of the original... Quote
Dreamweb Posted October 18, 2005 Author Posted October 18, 2005 Thanks for the information. What about the one with the bull on his chest? I used it because I thought it would fit a Spaniard nicely (Spain -> corrida -> bulls). Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted October 18, 2005 Governor Posted October 18, 2005 Which sub-theme was the mini-figure with the bull on its torso? Once I know that I'll be able to easily find it. Quote
Dreamweb Posted October 18, 2005 Author Posted October 18, 2005 As I said I have no idea, I just got it in a big bag of various parts. However it's safe to assume that it's from Castle theme on which I'm no expert. Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted October 18, 2005 Governor Posted October 18, 2005 Dammit! Aside from looking through all the Castle mini-figures I don't think I'm going to find his image without more specific information. Ah well... Quote
Norro Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 Which sub-theme was the mini-figure with the bull on its torso? Once I know that I'll be able to easily find it. KK. That fella was in 6096 and 4818 and 4807 to name 3 and I think possibly one more... reference Lugnet-the source of all Lego-related knowledge passed on via norro... God Bless, Nathan Quote
Dreamweb Posted October 18, 2005 Author Posted October 18, 2005 Well, so I have a KK piece! That's something new... Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted October 19, 2005 Governor Posted October 19, 2005 Oh, you mean this dude: Cedric the Bull Quote
Lost Viking Posted November 6, 2005 Posted November 6, 2005 That head is perfect for a Spanish fig. Quote
Sting Posted November 6, 2005 Posted November 6, 2005 Can anyone give me the part # for that head? It is perfect... Quote
Lost Viking Posted November 6, 2005 Posted November 6, 2005 It is the head of the greed fig in the KK2 series. Quote
Sir Dillon Posted November 6, 2005 Posted November 6, 2005 Oh, cool. I didn't realize you posted my fig, phes. The head is this one http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.as...sp?P=3626bpb216 Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted November 7, 2005 Governor Posted November 7, 2005 That's Sir Rascus's head. Best use I've ever seen for it! Quote
