clau_marz Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 I finally got a hold of some Roman soldier minifigs, it was more difficult than I thought to find them. Anyway, I used them to make a classic Roman tortoise. Delesky Quote
Wardancer Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 So great. I've been wanting to see this for ages! Thank you. Quote
tedbeard Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 Looks good, and thanks for the close-up, multi-angled views of the Romans. On a side note, I am not impressed by the helmet. It looks to me like the cheek plates come out way too far. Quote
Scubacarrot Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 I knew someone was going to do this! It looks cool, it must be a pain to get a hold of the romans though.

Imagine that those are actually supposed to connect to each other, then the size is actually alright Quote
CptMugwash Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 The shape of them reminds me of the spartans from 300 at the end, did you try and make a square? Quote
Skipper Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 Awesome pictures, they look great in formation. Although the shields seem a bit small. Quote
clau_marz Posted January 4, 2012 Author Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) Nice, wish they I had them already! :) It has been very tricky to get the quantity I have!!! thought it was going to be easier to spot The shape of them reminds me of the spartans from 300 at the end, did you try and make a square? No, they are making a semi circle Awesome pictures, they look great in formation. Although the shields seem a bit small. thank you!! setting them in this formation was not an easy job Edited January 4, 2012 by clau_marz Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 Excellent little MOC - simple yet realistic. Are you planning any other Roman style MOC's 'clau_marz'....Brick On the road to Rome ! Quote

Excellent little MOC - simple yet realistic. Are you planning any other Roman style MOC's 'clau_marz'....Brick On the road to Rome ! Thank you, lightningtiger. This is my first "MOC". If time allows I hope to be making more Roman style MOC's Quote
Huntleyfx Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 Nice job getting them all together, and some great views. I might be mistaken, but I thought the Tortoise was for when the Romans were in massed ranks, as opposed to a formation similar to the English Square. Quote
Captain Blackmoor Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 Run while there is still time! I love it to see these epic minifigs together in this formation, you should be proud of your collection! I see endless possibilities with these soldiers. Now get yourself a couple of Barbarian Tribesmen too! Quote
Erynion Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) Whenever I've seen the Roman testudo/tortoise formation, the soldiers were always in a square, not circular, formation. I could be wrong, but I thought that's how it's supposed to be. It's difficult to make this formation in LEGO since the soldiers usually squish in so there's not much of a gap between the shields, but LEGO don't squish... Edited January 7, 2012 by Erynion Quote
