    Lannes death - Essling, 1809 Jean Lannes, 1st Duke of Montebello, Prince of Siewierz (10 April 1769 – 31 May 1809), was a French military commander and a Marshal of the Empire who served during both the French Revolutionary Wars and the Napoleonic Wars. He was one of Napoleon's most daring and talented generals, and is regarded by many as one of history's greatest military commanders. Napoleon once commented on Lannes: "I found him a pygmy and left him a giant". A personal friend of the emperor, he was allowed to address him with the familiar tu, as opposed to the formal vous. On the eve of the day in 1809, Marshal Lannes took part in the famous Battle of Aspern-Essling. A cannonball struck Jean just when his legs were crossed. It smashed his knee, and injured his other leg. He had an operation, and both of his legs were amputated. Napoleon came up, and allegedly wept as he embraced Jean. Nine days after the battle, Lannes succumbed to his wounds.

    I dont believe TLG would make another medieval-castle theme so early, I would love it but dont see it. I am more inclined to think they would go for the Paraoh or Violin.

    Thank you very much, we both worked giving feedback to each other to try catch the proportions and the atmosphere. Really appreciated. Thanks a lot, we tried to put as many details we think could make the house recognizable and add two other views.

    Casa Azul - Frida Kahlo by Arfelan Nest, en Flickr La Casa Azul is the Intimate Universe of Frida Kahlo. In this beautiful residence, the artist lived most of her life; initially with her family and years later, with Diego Rivera. Likewise, interesting Mexican and foreign visitors stayed in this place, attracted by the captivating couple of artists. Blue House Interior by Arfelan Nest, en Flickr During her artistic career, Kahlo explored her identity by frequently depicting her ancestry as binary opposites: the colonial European side and the indigenous Mexican side. Frida wanted to leave her home as a museum, to be enjoyed by her beloved Mexico. For this reason, after her death, Diego organized here, the Frida Kahlo Museum. Blue House Gardens by Arfelan Nest, en Flickr The museography was the task of the museographer, teacher and great poet Carlos Pellicer, a very close friend of the couple. The Museum’s administration was entrusted to the Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo Museum Trust at the Bank of Mexico, established by Rivera himself in 1957. Blue House Collage by Arfelan Nest, en Flickr Since the Museum’s inauguration in July 1958, the Blue House exhibits the ambience that inspired Frida for her creation, as well as her personal belongings. Along with paintings by both artists, are displayed remarkable popular art pieces, pre-Columbian sculptures, photographs, documents, books and furniture. The beautiful garden is an essential part of the Blue House and it gives you access the exhibition of Frida’s Dresses.

    This is fantastic such great details, interesting techniques and colours combinations, is very eye pleasing. I only have two points of criticism: would have prefered the arch of the bridge a little less pronounced, and maybe the black roof could use a more thicker columns to support it. In any case a wonderful build that is very good. Thanks for sharing. :)

    I love it. Always enjoy your builds. I love the colour choice, the modularity and the clean lines. I would like to see it photographed with a low yellow background as the classic lego were presented, think would make an even greater impact. Thanks for sharing. :)

    African savanna by Arfelan Nest, en Flickr The African savanna ecosystem is a tropical grassland with warm temperatures year-round and with its highest seasonal rainfall in the summer. The savanna is characterized by grasses and small or dispersed trees that do not form a closed canopy, allowing sunlight to reach the ground. The African savanna contains a diverse community of organisms that interact to form a complex food web. African ecosystem by Arfelan Nest, en Flickr Africa has five main kinds of ecosystems: coastal environments, deserts and semideserts, mountain environments, savanna grasslands, and forests. Each ecosystem has its typical environment and climate. African lioness pride by Arfelan Nest, en Flickr Prides are family units that may comprise anywhere from two to 40 lions—including up to to three or four males, a dozen or so females, and their young. All of a pride's lionesses are related, and female cubs typically stay with the group as they age.

    Moscow on Fire - A not-so-warm welcome by Arfelan Nest, en Flickr Moscow was very different to other European cities that crumbled before the military genius of Napoleon. Here, no crowds of locals came to gawp at the marching columns of the Grande Armée, and no local officials rushed to present him with the keys to the city. Instead, the French emperor was met by an empty, deserted, hostile city, which, to compound his misery, was soon totally engulfed in flames. Observing the glow of the Moscow fires, the dumbfounded Napoleon is said to have remarked: “What a terrible sight! They’re burning the city themselves… What resoluteness! What people!

    This is one of the best royal interiors I ve seen in a while, I would have liked instead of purple to see it on dark red. Thanks for sharing.

    This is stunning, very well done I am really imagining a story for it, I would like to see this gate in a bigger moc so the blank space to be filled. Thanks for sharing :)
  20. Niku
    Wow I wish my first moc to be this good. Very well done. I agree with previous comments perhaps a little few color will help the eye to focus better. Overall great details, ideas and figs posing. Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks a lot @evancelt, I tried to give hints that there was already a history with the place. Glad you like the build.

    Marshal Ney Last Words Soldiers, when I give the command to fire, fire straight at my heart. Wait for the order. It will be my last to you. I protest against my condemnation. I have fought a hundred battles for France, and not one against her… Soldiers Fire! Marshal Ney abandoned By letting himself be caught, he has done us more harm than he did [defecting to Napoleon] on the 13th of March! The near-unanimous conviction and death sentence were agreed by the Peers around midnight as December 6 became December 7, and the Bravest of the Brave led out near the Luxembourg Garden that very morning to suffer the sentence passed upon him.
