Commodore Hornbricker Posted June 1, 2010 Great job. Good war! I like all the various elements in the MOC and the fact that you even have some things going on indoors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SWMAN Posted June 1, 2010 Very nice MOC. The War of 1812 is often a forgotten war, which is surprising considering it was the last time the US was invaded and the only time the White House has been directly attacked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think people in general try to forget it as our two countries are so close now. Its looked upon as an old fight between two best friends.

General Redwater Posted June 1, 2010 Amazing job! I really like the scene, and buildings, very well built. Although we Americans lost the battle, it only made our will to fight on stronger! Good luck with the contest! - General Redwater Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erdbeereis Posted June 1, 2010 That looks like a great entry Ratshot! I have one small suggestion: I would recommend including one overview picture, so when the voting thread is made, the voters can see the whole entry in one shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Admiral Croissant Posted June 2, 2010 Good choice to use this battle as reference. And thanks for using my head for the president For the rest, good use of existing minifig parts and enough action.

Forresto Posted June 2, 2010 Nice Moc man! I live in good 'ole DC so it's great to see a Moc set in it. You did a pretty good job with the whole scene is great. I especially like the picture of the park with all the Redshirts (oops too much star trek ) Redcoats chargin the house. Good luck and keep on Mocing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skipper 24 Posted June 4, 2010 (edited) Great entry Ratshot! I love all the action and fighting, it brings the MOC to life really well, after all fighting in pirate MOCs is a tried and tested technique .
