Captain Dee Posted February 18, 2022 Just recently I was contemplating something like this, using that same piece for tricorn hats! I hadn't come up with a suitable torso part, but these certainly work. The legs look a little short, but otherwise it's pretty cool. And that horse is nice. Will you be using these in a micro build?

Funnily enough the limiting factor on me making a ton of these was I only have a few 1x1 round yellow plates (used as lemons in a MOC last year). 1 hour ago, Captain Dee said: Just recently I was contemplating something like this, using that same piece for tricorn hats!

Yes, would love to see what you come up with! Not planning to use these in a micro build just now, but maybe in the future! I was also toying with the idea of using black headlight bricks as shakos Black antenna base as a kind of bicorne And the plate with vertical tooth as a kind of redcoat coat Edited February 18, 2022 by evancelt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Dee Posted February 18, 2022 @evancelt The headlight brick would be rather large for a shako at this scale. How would the antenna base look atop a 1x1 round black plate for a shako? As for heads, you could use tan instead of yellow for a flesh look, if you have them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feuer Zug Posted February 18, 2022 Neat. Tiny, yet easy to recognize that they're meant to be. Way cheaper way to army build than minifigs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evancelt Posted February 18, 2022 Just playing around with adding a background to the cutout MOC after reading Brick Nerd's new post on the subject! Looks like JJ Abrams took the photo! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blackdeathgr Posted March 3, 2022 (edited) Just epic!!! You did it again! Now I must search out to theoretically calculate how many of those soldiers I can build with my brick collection! Napoleonic armies of micro<X<medi scale at their finest! Edited March 3, 2022 by blackdeathgr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
