Hound Knight Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 "We have met the enemy, and they are ours." This is my minifigure of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry. Quote
Captain Blackmoor Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 I love that torso! The blue colour doesn't match the LEGO blue but the torso is very detailed. I have the same problem with the colours. I like the head but it is a bit too innoncent I think. I actually like the whole minifig though. Quote

Here is the decal if anyone wants it. Quote
Captain Blackmoor Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 A bit more fearsome, not a rough bastard but something intimidating, my head for example. But there are quite some of them with eyes who say: "Watch out ya little...", something like that. Quote
Admiral Croissant Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 I totally agree with Cap'n Blackmoor. And since it is an officer I think he shuld also have a horse (but maybe he's got one already, I don't know ) Onfortunately the color is not exactly the same as the rest of the torso, but that's not such a big problem. Nice minifig! Quote

I thought about that head but wasn't sure if you'd mind him looking almost exactly like your sigfig. I totally agree with Cap'n Blackmoor.

Nice minifig! Why would a Naval officer have a horse? Thanks though! Quote
Captain Blackmoor Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 OK, I'll do that. I thought about that head but wasn't sure if you'd mind him looking almost exactly like your sigfig. Of course I don't mind! It's not "my" head! Why would a Naval officer have a horse? For if he looses his footing on deck... And on land, naval officers rode horses to travel around on land. Quote
Hound Knight Posted May 17, 2009 Author Posted May 17, 2009 Of course I don't mind! It's not "my" head! Thanks, he also wears blue, and has a bicorn hat. For if he looses his footing on deck... And on land, naval officers rode horses to travel around on land. Oh, well I guess I'd better go obtain him one to ride until I finish his ship! Quote
martinsuper Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 My first MOC ship is going to be the BRIG Niagara, which Perry transferred his flag to during the battle of Lake Erie. So, nice to see Perry.. but don't build the ship before I do! Very cool! -Super Quote

Very cool! -Super I can't guarantee that, you'll have to build fast! Of course I'm still waiting for those ship hulls... Feel free to use my decal for your Commodore Perry fig though. Quote
Zorro Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 Nice decal. And it looks like you know your history. I love people that love history, since I do so as well. In fact I own a Bachelor in History! Quote
Captain Blackmoor Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 Hehe, I got exams tomorrow about history - napoleonic area and wars between 1600-1900 Most people don't understand anything about it, but it is my favorite theme ever! Is anyone else studying naval warfare in his spare time? Or is it just me who likes it. Quote
Dr. Steve Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Looks great, I like the face on the head...good choice Quote
