A_Goodman Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) A Skirmish at North Bridge April 18th, 1775 British Redcoats engage in a firefight with local Militia on the outskirts of Concord. This small battle marks the first day of the American Revolution.

I like the bridge, the river and the landscape. Sorry, the 2 trees can be improved. The presentation is really good. Same heads or faces? Great, I haven't seen any! The army of the British Empire and the American was really portrayed very well! 3 perfect photos (I act like I haven't seen the 2 ugly trees)! Judge yourself. Do you like these 2 trees? The lowest American in the photo has 3-4 hands? Take a closer look at your photos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually there is another minifigure behind him, wounded, laying down. Amazing looking MOC sir! I love the way you did the trees, giving it almost a dead tree illusion. Also the custom figures...... Me want! Captain Charles J. Becker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good explanation, that would be possible. You're right, the same color of the shirt confused me. I don't like the dead trees. Maybe an American cannonball hits the trees and destroys them? The custom figures and presentation are perfect! Edited July 31, 2020 by NOD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I initially wasn't going to post this one but I thought I would do it just for you. A Skirmish at North Bridge (Extra) by Nicholas Goodman, on Flickr Also, I have to say I totally agree with you about the weakness of the trees but based on the painting the build was inspired by I like to think that the early Spring trees experienced an extra rough New England Winter that year. I greatly appreciate the comments. Cheers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
