Simply jaw dropping. Thats probably 500$ right there. Keepp it up!

[Macsen Wledig]

Great army! I love the attention to detail you've lavished upon the minifigs.

whoa like the way you took the western covered wagons, and used them in this

[Yzalirk]

That's a large army! The drummer boys really stand out.

I also like the way how you can mix and match and stay true to the theme

[Ecclesiastes]

As an army builder myself I really like this! It's an impressive collection and the combo's are just perfect!

[Bonaparte]

Haha, here are my troops

Simply stunning this army of yours!

Am I right that you didn't do any customization, except for adding few (paper) flags?

It must have taken forever to get those lined up perfectly without a baseplate.

Thanks everyone for the positive reactions! I really appreciate it. Actually, I didn't do any customization (except the custom Brickarms bayonets and the drummers' mallets which is a stick divided into two parts). I have tried to use only original Lego parts in best available quality, no paper, sticks, etc.

I am going to post some photos of the British Duke Wellingtons' army soon.

This is a very impressive and intimidating army jackdaw, that is a massive horde of Bluecoats that you have. Thanks for posting this, I really enjoyed looking at it

[ManInATopHat]

Amazing army! Must have taken hours to set them all up like that...

[James Wellington]

What a fantastic army.

[lightningtiger]

AWESOME army assembled there 'JACKDAW', would have cost a pretty penny for all those custom parts eh ?

Brick On Battle On 'JACKDAW' !

Stunning army Jackdaw! I really admire all the effort that's gone into this. Looking forward to seeing your British army next! (Are you going to set them both up in a battle scene? That would be amazing!)

[Captain Cam]

I think I'm gone turn in my redcoat and hang up a nice blue flag. : )

[Moebius118]

Ingenious use of the gold visors. A magnificent army with cavalry!

[dr_spock]

Impressive army. Looking forward to see the other army.

[michaelozzie]

Very good looking army you have there. Seems you now outnumber my guys but at least they are on the same side

Thanks, I admire your customization skills and sense for details!

[Commissioner Gordon]

impressive! are the minifigures purist?

[Captain Braunsfeld]

absolutely cool - great army!

You managed to not only amass foot soldiers but also to pay attention to all the different officers.

Brick on!

[Kolonialbeamter]

Most impressive! I'm actually speechless...

Are these pics of a vignette? I don't think they are. To my mind, a vignette requires some Lego-built terrain or background or both. Do these pics portray anything other than minifigs? Well, yes: there are horses and waggons, but the focus is definitely on the minifigs. As such, this thread belongs in the Minifig Customisation Workshop, not Pirates. That, by the way, is according to LuxorV, MCW's mod.

@OP - great army! The size and detail of your forces is very impressive even to a non-fleshy collector who isn't into the Napoleonic period. Vive la France!

[Tech Artist]

How you managed to get them all aligned that perfectly without base plate is just as amazing as the setup itself. My try at lining up Minifigs wasn't that easy last time I did it just trying to get a picture of my collection.
