woody64 Posted September 11, 2010 Posted September 11, 2010 (edited) My tribute to Osprey's Men-At-Arms Wellington's Infantry (1). It shows several of my items like: shako, Wellington, sword-bayonet, drum and spontoon. All decals were made special for this group. ...

Captain Becker Posted September 11, 2010 Posted September 11, 2010 Those are amazing woody The sword is looking quite same as lego version and those decals are just fabolous I think at i have to get a few of those Captain Becker Quote
Captain Blackmoor Posted September 11, 2010 Posted September 11, 2010 Really great minifigures Woody! You are one of the best customizers around. I only despite there are no epaulettes, I'm sure white ones would make them even cooler. Have you considered to add white details to the shakos? That would stand out for sure! Quote
Admiral Croissant Posted September 11, 2010 Posted September 11, 2010 My only 'complaint' about this is that you're using the same head 3 times, but the decals sure look great The buckles are very detailed and well done. Epaulettes would look good as well, but maybe that's not historically correct. Anyway, thanks for sharing! Quote
General Redwater Posted September 11, 2010 Posted September 11, 2010 These look great Woody! I really like that spontoon! It's my favorite of the bunch. - Redwater Quote
woody64 Posted September 12, 2010 Author Posted September 12, 2010 (edited) Epaulettes would look good as well, but maybe that's not historically correct .... You're right the kind of epaulettes LEGO has are not historically correct. But good point, maybe it's worth to think over two custom items? You find the original for the scene below at the cover and you find the 3 types of epaulettes used by the British army also in these two pictures. Woody64 Edited September 12, 2010 by woody64 Quote
Admiral Croissant Posted September 12, 2010 Posted September 12, 2010 Looking at the pictures I think white epaulettes might be a good idea, even though they are not exactly the same. Or perhaps a bead (or ring collar?) looks good as well, but maybe it makes no difference since minifigs almost have no neck at all Anyway, you could try these things and see how it looks, but they look very good already Quote

Kerntechniker Posted September 16, 2010 Posted September 16, 2010 Great minifigs. I like it. I've still to build more redcoats for my army. Quote
Capn Frank Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Those look really good. It's been forever, but do you have a 3d printer to make actual figs like this? I could see these in some real sets. Do any of these guys need epaulettes? Quote
woody64 Posted January 18, 2015 Author Posted January 18, 2015 Unfortunately an old picture of a 3d printed Wellington. The results are better with the newer ones (Shapeways/FD and colored per hand or black pWSFby Sculpteo). Quote
