Doctor Sinister Posted March 22, 2008 It's nice, but the sword looks a little incongruous with the backpack and the helmet - add a rifle and it'll be perfect! Dr. S. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faramir Posted March 22, 2008 I agree with Dr. S. But besides that, it looks great. The can head actually looks pretty good, in my opinion. It reminds me of when you see soldiers with those oversized-looking helmets. Nice job --Faramir Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Builder Posted March 22, 2008 So Doctor Sinister, I did what you said. But I didn't use a rifle because they only come in dark gray. Like the technique I used for the flag? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
casewindu Posted March 22, 2008 I think he looked better without the flag, it looks a little to big for him to hold and so makes the entire thing look out of poportion. Plus the fact that a grey head peice word work alot better, but you say you dont have one so it can't be helped. i suggest making the flag a little smaller or place it behind the soldier. ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Builder Posted March 22, 2008 I got the idea from the soldiers raising the flag in Hiroshima, but a much smaller flag that 1 man could place on a captured territory. Just think, in a city (which I yet need to build) it could be a hero that came from the city. So the flag isn't all bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im not saying the flag is bad mate I just think that it maybe better off behind him or if he is carrying it a little smaller *sweet* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Builder Posted March 22, 2008 Ah, well I'm not offended, it's just that it is a statue, remember, so why would the flag be behind him. But thanks for the feedback. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doctor Sinister Posted March 22, 2008 Good point about the rifle I forgot the colour difference. The flag looks good - on a real statue they might even hang a real flag from the pole, just a thought - could make it look more dramatic? I'm not sure... The head looks fine to me as well, I didn't mention it earlier as I didn't think it was a major issue. Just one minor thought, if this guy was running, the flag would be pointing backwards because of the breeze, if it were me I'd turn it backwards, but other than that it makes me want to have my own statue in Tabletown!

casewindu Posted March 22, 2008 Im actually basing my town around a war statue: you can see the story behind it here: my city story Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Builder Posted March 22, 2008 That's pretty good I have to say. And I just want to ask, does anyone else know how to make the flag like I did? 8-| Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asuka Posted March 22, 2008 I just like both versions.... a very nice work. Hmm.... I never saw that backpack piece before.... 8-| Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iamded Posted March 22, 2008 That's pretty good I have to say. And I just want to ask, does anyone else know how to make the flag like I did? 8-| A 2x3 1/3 brick and one of them stud clip things? Anyway, that's pretty neat, the base of the statue looks good too. *y* ~Peace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
