Custom Minifig: Emperor Frederick Barbarossa

[Ye Olde Pirate]

Hello Everyone!

Here's my next minifig for CCCVIII. I present to you...Emperor Frederick Barbarossa!

Info: Frederick Barbarossa one of the most beloved emperors of the Holy Roman Empire (Germany) in the Middle Ages. He died tragically by drowning in river while on Crusade. It was said by the people that Frederick Barbarossa was not really dead, but asleep in a cave in a mountain in Germany. It was said that when the ravens ceased to fly around the mountain, he would wake up.

I used this painting as a model for the minifig.

Please leave me some feedback.

Another nice custom Ye Olde Pirate! The dwarf's beard fits the Emperor perfectly.

Very nice. I happen to be currently reading Baudolino by Umberto Eco, in which Emperor Frederick Barbarossa plays a central role. Now I will only be able to picture this as I read. :)

Thanks! I saw my dwarf's beard lying around and thought, "Hey, that'd work perfectly!"

Well, I'm happy to provide you with a picture of the emperor 'vlai'. Happy Reading!

A very good and accurate purist customisation, Ye Olde Pirate, he looks just like the real man! I particularly like the use of the Dwarfs beard too.

Well done.

Not bad at all. I like your choice of pieces, they look very similar.

Nice job
