Tom Bricks Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere A MOC of Paul Revere's legendary and slightly exaggerated ride. "The role for which he is most remembered today was as a night-time messenger on horseback just before the battles of Lexington and Concord. His famous "Midnight Ride" occurred on the night of April 18/April 19, 1775, when he and William Dawes were instructed by Dr. Joseph Warren to ride from Boston to Lexington to warn John Hancock and Samuel Adams of the movements of the British Army, which was beginning a march from Boston to Lexington, ostensibly to arrest Hancock and Adams and seize the weapons stores in Concord." (Wikipedia) Being from Massachusetts made me want to build a part of my States past and a great moment in early American History. More on Flickr Quote

TheCrimsonTrooper Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 Nice MOC. I really like the clean use of SNOT for the siding. Quote
Brickdoctor Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 Nice take on the classic story. The lantern design, while only a slight mod from the Belville design, is superb. Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 Nice work Tom! It's a simple but lovely MOC, the house is pretty neat as well as the greeneries outside. Good job my friend! Quote
