Nice army. One question, what type of shako/helmet is this?
Woody64
-
The red Lancers are really cool.
Do you have some mor ephotos from this from other angles?

Does anyone know of a place online that has custom colors of helmets, maybe different torsos? It'd be neat for a BrickArms to make a molding set of small firefighting tools as so many custom molders do police/army stuff. Any help would be great!
Which custom helmets or tools do you think off?

Well done !!!!!

For Napoloenic area use:
- white for line infantry
- dark blue for light infantry and artillery
If you are more going for the 1870s then use the red one

What a luck that I didn't vote because the number of outstanding items were really amazing ....

Seen it the first time after having announced the winners. Rather beautiful !!!!

But they look a bit too plain 1 colour, a bit too plastic-like. Perhaps some detailing in other colours would make these look awesome.
If they are looking like plastic then the intension is exactly matched. That was the purpose to change the white (WSF) material as nearby as possible.

Made by me and my oven
really nice work.

During the retreat a lot of different troops having lost their units join.
Due to the uniform mix it may be a picture of the Russian retreat where also unform parts where assembled and replaced by parts from other troops.
Indeed it was done to show coloring in green and blue on WSF. 3 coats of paint and the result is not as bad.

Looking really great so far, but I would try to make two adjustments, if possible. The Cross looks like the "red cross" - It's more like the Iron Cross...
I found a picture:
...
Maybe you could broaden the upper crest a bit and add a chin strap under the cross, if possible. I'm no 3d molding expert so that's your job so I just suggest these thinks - what is actually possible it's up to you. But great work in such a short time.

Have you thought about creating the "Schirmmütze" from the Landwehr Units? I guess it would make a special item for your store.
... interesting tip:

It's just for fun. But it was inspired by some plates I got covering hole regiments. So I started to make some decals covering the main roles in a regiment.

Lovely decals, as always. I really like the Jäger on the far right, with the custom rifle. The shakos look great, too, but maybe, if you try to reshape them for the next batch, make them a little bit smaller in diameter! just a tinny bit, not much, they look great as they are in form, quite good but a tinny little bit to large in my opinion.

Keep the fantasitc work up :)
I'm curious too about the total amount of your custom figs - they look all great in your mocs.
There are 2 versions of the shako in my shop. One is a little bit smaller. The size in diameter is strongly connected to the material used. Therefore I can't go beyond this margins since the 2 materials I use need 0.7mm and 1mm wall size which defines the diameter arround the hat.
I have only a number of 70-100 minifigs with custom designed decals which I use with various of my custom items.
Currently I have a showboard where 50 Minifigs all equipped with custom helmets or weapons are shown.
Here's an item which can be used for the prussian Landwehr. But in principle for this item also the Lego standard hat can be used. Or do you see a big difference between Schirmmütze and the Lego standard item (for officers, train personal)?

User request: Fantasy Helmet (study)

Some nice work, can you give us more detail on what you have created and the materials used? Cheers.
Uglyduckling made a short overview about my methodology to produce such items:
http://uglyduck-bric...ys-minifig.html
Recently I switched from the material to Acrylic-based photopolymer (that's very nearby to plastic from the look and feel).
Before I used the material White&Flexible (Nylon12), which looks on the photos a little bit porous, but has the advantage that my 3d printing provider offers green, red, blue and black.
The list describes each photo above, and the item I've created for this minifig
- thirty years Soldier (German style Lobster): On the picture there's a thirty years soldier, but the helmet is also suitable for other historical periods.
- Ancient Spartan (Spartan Helmet, Sword, Shield): maybe one of the 300
- 17th Century Merchant (Hat): this item was originally requested by a forum user. The historic picture given was Rembrandts, Night Watch
- Farmer (Straw hat): was also requested by a user, I think Kevin
- thirty years Soldier (Lobster): also by request of a forum user
- British Ensign 18th Century (Lance): to protect the colours
- thirty years war cavalry men (Lobster, Pallasch): the straight version of the LEGO sword. Used by heavy cavalrymen.
- Scout (Scout cap): originally made by my brother
- Fantasy Warrior (Mace and Shield, Helmet by BrickTW): Middle age mace, Shield inspired by World of Warcraft and Helmet given by BrickTW

Beautiful - every nut, bolt and screw, nothing more to say ....

Looking nice! Just curious though, what prompted you to make the muskets black instead of brown?
The printing customer provides black material. That's the reason for. Otherwise you buy transparent or white and have to color it yourself.

Hope to make my next order soon then I can present the real molds in 2-3 weeks.
These items are already done smoothed:
and here are some news:
- scotts kilt (study)
- light infantry helmet (American Civil war)
- American leather helmet

That looks really interesting.
Do you have any further photos of the end results. A complete Minifig using your custom parts.
As I have seen you first build the master part and then you mold it.
What material did you use?
