michaelozzie Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 Hi everyone. Ive been off the radar for a while now but I have some new work to show at last. After some major surgery on my leg ive been stuck in bed for a while so its given me some time to work on army. Its nearly complete just making some last touches and waiting on some more brickforge bayonets and woodys shakos from shapeways. Heres some Dutch Red lancers of the guard ive finnished. More photos can be found on my flickr page hereMy link Cheers everyone Quote

Captain Green Hair Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 I love the horse blankets you made! Tey look very accurate. I agree! Is there a template! Quote
Eurobricks Emperor Bonaparte Posted July 13, 2011 Eurobricks Emperor Posted July 13, 2011 I just love the colorful caps and the horse decoration! Hope everything if fine with your leg now. Quote
michaelozzie Posted July 13, 2011 Author Posted July 13, 2011 I agree! Is there a template! I will post a template on here tommorow for you Green Hair. I just love the colorful caps and the horse decoration! Hope everything if fine with your leg now. Leg is getting much better thanks bonaparte Quote
michaelozzie Posted July 14, 2011 Author Posted July 14, 2011 For Captain Green Hair Heres the template for the horse blanket. It needs to be printed at 5.5cm in length to fit corectly. I normaly resize the image in msword to do so and offcourse colours can be added via ms paint. Ive even added a leopardskin print to one for a trumpeter as seen below. The front pieces are cut separetly from the back and attach to the horse with just the top edge resting under the saddle. Ive found a vinyl sticker paper works very well for these and my figures decals. It provides a glossy finnish and better strength in a thinner paper. Cheers Quote
Bart Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 to be honest I had never heard of the 'Dutch Red lancers' before but after some googleing for comparison click I think they really look great, indeed nice horse blanket, but I also like the roll behind the saddle at first I was 'how did he do that?' but then I spotted a piece of string Bart Quote
woody64 Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 The red Lancers are really cool. Do you have some mor ephotos from this from other angles? Woody64 Quote

Woody64 Not at the moment but I will take some new ones soon. What an AWESOME job you have done 'michaelozzie' in customising the troops and horses....a huge ! Brick On Customise On ! Thanks mate.

Captain Blackmoor Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 Wonderful figs Michaelozzie! Finally some more Dutch guys around! Those figures are really well done, the decals look splendid, and so are the hats. Very colourful! The horse decal is just awesome, I have never seen it before and it looks so good! It adds a lot of detail. Very well done, a great comeback after your surgery! Quote
Dreamweb Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 Great job! The level of detail is just amazing! Definitely deserves a place in our blog. [bloggedcp][/bloggedcp] Expect it there very soon! Quote
RockNRoll200 Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 Wow these are great! I love the French army. Have you got any troops to fight them? Russians, Austrians, British etc? Quote
jackdaw Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 That's a fantastic job! All the datails are really stunning. I also build a napoleonic army (La grande armee), but I am using only lego and brickarms parts. It's a different strategy - of course I cannot gain that level of details you have. Have you considered to change the heads and hands collor profile from yellow to light flesh? Maybe your army would look even more realistic. But again, thank you for the great work and inspiration!
