Age of Empires III Units

[Spyder]

I made these a while ago, when I was into Age of Empires III

First some units:

From left to right: a minute man, a ship captain*, a miner, and a hussar in the back.

Next up we have a Falconet:

I think it turned out pretty well.

A shot going off!

The connection point

And lastly a Mortar:

Mobile.

Ready to fire.

A closeup.

*I don't think there were even captains in the game, so I can't remember who he's supposed to be.

Any ways, they all didn't take that long, but they were fun to build. The hardest one was the Falconet, although my favorite unit in the game, it took me a couple tries to get it built in Lego correctly.

C&C welcome!

Wow, good technique! It's nice to see small, minifig-scale but still realistic things. I like the Falconet best.

The mortar itself looks good, but I feel that the carriage is a little clunky.

I also appreciate that you care about the figures themselves, too. I think it is an area where many people are not so ambitious.

One small idea: I see gray headlights (NOT bluish gray, by the way, which is intriguing) where the falconet cart is connected to the horse. Have you tried black ones?

I have tried black ones. The only thing is that I don't want it to appear as though the clips that hold those brown rods go into the horse, I wanted it to look as if it was something that went around the horses middle. If I use black, I feel it would blend in with the horse too much, so it might look like the clips were stabbed into the horses sides.

Blast, I've been thinking about doing this exact thing for a long time and you beat me to it.

Good work on the figures...
