evancelt Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) A company of 26th Foot pass by the pickets to enter camp after patrolling the surrounding area, while a group of 18th Hussars heads out to reconnoiter Oleon positions. Soldiers of the Elizabethville Militia and 47th Foot look on. Edited March 11, 2021 by evancelt Cleaned up the images a bit (one was blurry) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NOD Posted March 7, 2021 Impressive parade of troops and nice camp. I especially like the self-built cannon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ross Fisher Posted March 7, 2021 A really lovely build. I'm getting Sharpe vibes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Count Vroskri Posted March 7, 2021 Looking good. I like the tents and how it feels like a real military camp. It's very alive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bodi Posted March 7, 2021 Nice build, I like the tents, and the base looks great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brickwolf Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) Great build, looks properly military! I like the bright red accents. The tree could use a little more green. Edited March 7, 2021 by Brickwolf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Initially tried cramming twice as many minifigs in and it just looked crowded. Reduced the number of figs and you can see the camp better but still have some activity On 3/7/2021 at 8:09 AM, caiman0637 said: Looks great! Thanks!

I've featured the tents in some of my earlier builds, but had to make 4 additional ones to fill our the large camp scene. The base was fun to do! I posted about the base in a tutorial if you want to see more pics. On 3/7/2021 at 9:07 AM, Brickwolf said: Great build, looks properly military! I like the bright red accents. The tree could use a little more green. Thanks! Added the coral colored 1x1 plates to spice up the earth tones in the base. Yeah, the tree is not normal looking, that's for sure! One thing I've learned about trees IRL is that they are super weird and many look ugly For a pretty build (like the Mayor's house), I would try to make the tree more symmetrical and leafed out Edited March 10, 2021 by evancelt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Dee Posted March 7, 2021 Neat scene. Good job with the base and the tents look great. I love that custom cannon and the various troops. 2 hours ago, evancelt said: Just remembered that I tried putting little gold ink holders next to the tents to (maybe?) look like tent stakes.

I thought about tying some TLG string to the tents like guy lines, but that failed miserably Cleaned up the images to remove some blurriness and shadows in backgrounds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khorne Posted March 8, 2021 An impressive display of soldiers! Like I said on flickr, I like the small accents of coral. I hadn't really noticed the brickbuilt cannon beforehand, but it looks really sweet! Awesome design there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
