It looks good, and although Im a proud owner of the original, it is indeed an improvement. However....I wish lego would design more new sets and stops issuing all the releases.

If would opt for a third option: Lego should stop with all the reissues and start being creative and original again. If you watch the movies there are so many new sets to be created. The Ewok village was very welcome, but extremely expensive. There is still the (Palace of) Naboo, Coruscant, Cloud city, Mos Eisley and Mos Espa, etc. All planets with a lot of buildings and vehicles to recreate. I would not be sad when Lego stops with Star Wars because of the lack of originality nowadays. But I will be thrilled when they start being creative again ;-)

Im waiting for Gondor soldiers....but since neither of the options will have them...I vote for Rohan.

Maybe you should consider giving the Italians some firepower ;-)

Hey guys, I got inspired by your posts and think I will give it a try as well. Any chance that you can share the Excel spreadsheets by e-mail? (rloesberg1979@gmail.com). Thanks!

Its amazing! Is the Silver Spanish helmet custom painted or included in any regular set?

Might be the best MoC I ever saw....love that you used the dark grey colour for the castle. There are actually real life examples in India, Turkey and also the Middle East of castles being built in such dark grey fashion. The market town is impressive as well.....Wow!

Great features, but I don't understand why the steering wheel also operates the gun....that doesnt seems logical

put the British in a square formation and they will probably win the battle ;-)

I guess everything has already been said... allthough the comments for improvement are certainly right (I was also puzzled by the cannons), the overall impression is one of shock and awe. To have the possibility and the creativity to make such a gigantic but also detailed and beautiful MOC is just unbelievable. Great work, hope to see more work from your hand.

Am I the only one that can't see the pictures?

Ok I followed your instructions, hope they are visible now

I still want to build a MoC with my redcoats and bluecoats set in India. I have some prince of persia buildings and the Scorpion Palace as well as a Western Fort. At this moment I don't have the time to start building. Today I wanted to "play" a little with all the Lego I collected. I know that the uniforms are not all from the same period and that Indian rulers probably did not have Chinese concubibes, but I just like these figures the most... So here is a small scene depicting his Royal highnes the Prince of Wales and her Royal highness the Princess of Wales taking the official treaty with the French at the court of one of the local Indian Princes. If I posted this scene in a wrong forum, feel free to (re)move it, cause Im fairly new with posting.

Ok I understand, can I move it myself?

Don't know if anybody already posted it, but I saw a lot of these fake sets on the following site http://www.liangdianup.com/pirate_1.htm However the fort was new to me

Wish you could make us some building instructions how to duplicate your galleon. Its beautiful and I want to make one myself too!

It looks really well made, but what's with all the minifig hands?

Wow those hairpieces look amazing I also love your ship and the building in the background, do you have more pictures of the ship and the buildings?

Congratulations!

Sorry, I didn't know that we were not supposed to react on older posts. I just did it again, but now I know it, I will only react to new topics.

Great work! But don't forget that after this battle some major victories were won by the romans. Germania was never conquered, because it did not exist... large parts of the area were eventually conquered and/or partly romanised.

Its a stunning Castle... Im jealous at your talent. But why is it called a crusader fort? If I learnt it well, the crusaded ended in 1300, but the star fort model was only introduced when gunpowder cannons were in use in Europe. So more into 1500. Can you explain your idea or was it just fantasy? But as I said, it is really beautiful...

Just 1 wish: The senate Im thinking: Palpatines room A small hallway 1 or 2 senate boxes (perhapse the one of naboo an/or alderaan) The chairmans/palpatines box in the middle of the senate room A landing pod with a coruscant shutte/bus elevator All modular like cloud city, perhapse some level differences like in the death star minifigs: palpatine, padme (senator), Senator Organa, "right and left" hand of palpatine (forgot their names, always sitting next to him), 2x blue senate guards, 2 or 3 other senators/visitors

I made a fort based on the Castillo de San Marcos in Florida. Tried to use the techniques that were used for fort Branco. I made it with Lego Designer... unfortunately it costs almost EUR 300 to buy it :( It has sleeping quarters for the soldiers, storage rooms for weapons, treasures and food, a separate room for the officer and even a little chapel. The only problem is that I dont know how I can add the sloped walls to the fort by using Lego Designer... So for now I just placed them next to the fort, to have a complete set :) Too bad I had to use some grey bricks, since I couldnt find the white ones in the Designer, I would also like to add some doors, cause now the pirates can easily walk in :)

How can I access universe mode? Ah you know St. Augustin and its history. I always wanted to build a fort and really got excited when I saw the Castillo de San Marcos. But I started with a version based on Fort Branco here on the forum. I think I will try to expand it to make it more like the real Castillo. Unfortunately I dont have a lot of bricks to build a fort. But Im trying to design some buildings in LDD for a port with merchantdwellings and a fort. And maybe in the future I can build it for real :)
