Armada Gallows

[Mr. Gray]

Hello fellow pirate fans!

Today I present my small, and helmet-less Armada outpost. Backstory first, then pictures.

"Hmm, it seems like a young pirate has gotten himself captured by an Armada outpost! you wouldn't know it though, the cargo ship that's carrying their helmets hasn't arrived around here yet. As the young pirate sits by the tower, he looks toward the gallows and realizes his fate is sealed! But no so fast, his pirate crew is sneaking up upon the hatless group of Spanish soldiers in an attempt to save him while Rodrigo drops the box, snapping the neck of some unlucky fellow."

Now, onto the picture! As always, there is always more pictures on my flickr.

I know, Armada without helments, it doesn't seem right. Luckily I ordered a bunch, so future Armada creations WILL have morion helmets. I was also experimenting with photo-taking, so I apologize for the rather shoddy photos.

Enjoy!

It's not bad as a start. The gallows looks a bit odd and the minifigure should hang rather straight,verticalto the ground (try and loosen the string maybe).

I sort of like the shark and how you made the waves in front.

The minifigures you've chosen are British (redcoats), so jut Helmets won't make them Spanish. There has been an Armada subtheme though, so you could have proper Spaniards. Alternatively you could take some castle minifigures with armor printing and put helmets on.

Start? I don't quite understand what you mean, it's not the first Pirates creation I've made, if that's what is being implied.

But of course, as is the problem with minifigure anatomy. I did best with what I could. Loosening the string might have worked, but this is all taken apart anyways.

Yes, I know about the Armada, alas, I do not have any Imperial Armada sets. It's improvising, and I, for one, don't really mind a little inaccuracy here and there. I like the Redcoat torso, but I do not like the faction very much, but I do like the Armada faction. So, for now or until a new Armada theme comes about, these will have to stay.

Thank you for the comment anyways!

The shark and the backstory are good.

I think he means a first Armada moc.
