  1. I use Games Workshop's "green stuff" for all my sculpting. The problem is that it's very difficult to remove it, as it hardens to the head, which is probably why I don't sculpt much. I've only made a couple of berets, and they're firmly attatched to the heads they're on.
  2. Thanks for the link. Before this, I was looking at pictures of the bricks, copying them into paint and using the dropper tool to get the colour, which, as you can imagine, isn't perfect. Also, Let me know what you think or want to change It's based on all of the pictures, although he's not wearing any of the orders or medals, as I doubt they'd be practical in a battle.
  3. Thanks!
  4. Some more for you: Officer of 1st/2nd Grenadiers: Trooper of 1st/2nd Grenadiers: Trooper with Legion D'Honneur Officer of Royal Dutch Guard/3rd Regiment of Grenadiers Trooper of Royal Dutch Guard/3rd Regiment of Grenadiers Again, I'll take any requests for torsos, as I'm pretty aimless at the moment.
  5. That's interesting. I've never thought of using powerpoint, or anything besides paint, to do these in. Might I ask where you get your official Lego colours from? Also, great new avatar. I'm a big fan of mr G. Rava myself.
  6. Very nice. What is the hair?
  7. Bonaparte said I should make a thread for my torso stickers, so here it is. Officer of 95th Rifles Trooper of 95th Rifles However, the question arose about what colour body to print this on, seeing as the green colour doesn't match any Lego colour, although it is very close to actual rifle green. So here are the bodies in: Lego green: Close to Lego dark green: Recolour to make a Brunswick Lieb-Battalion torso: Also, I will take requests for other Napoleonic things. Bear in mind I don't have a lot of time for these, but I'll do the best I can. All of these are .BMPs done in paint, so editing shouldn't be too difficult.
  8. Those are really great work. I especially like the custom pennant, which is a tiny job, but goes a long way to improve the look of the figure. To Bonaparte: The Austrian Uhlans were Polish, and were used for scouting and reconnaisance work. They were excellent against cavalry, and could attack infantry squares with their long lances. Their high point was in 1809, when they damaged the French Carabiniers so much that Napoleon gave them copper breasplates and helmets, making them look similar to cuirassiers, except for the helmets, which looked fairly like Austrian infantry helmets. The carabiniers were light cavalry up to this point.
  9. Two more for you all: Officer of 95th Rifles Trooper of 95th Rifles
  10. If you're looking for 1807-12 French victories, there's also the Battle of Friedland 14 Jun, 1807 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Friedland
  11. I've been to this. What's been said before is all true, but I really need to emphasize how wonderful the Berlin buildings are. The lighting which simulates day and night is an excellent touch, and the Greek Temple really makes me wish I had more map tiles.
  12. The wargaming is with 1:72 scale plastic figures. I have a decent amount of Lego soldiers, but I prefer not to use them to represent real-life units. Also, I've seen your figures and they're all excellent, particularly the Napoleon and Roustam figures. I have a question, though; did the French not wear bicornes at Jena, or am I thinking of Austerlitz?
  13. Indeed, Wellington always wears blue in the Sharpe episodes. However, the Sharpe programme isn't particularly accurate, as seen especially in the episode "Sharpe's Waterloo". However, I do have a picture of Hugh Fraser as the duke. For the record, I have all the Sharpe episodes on DVD, and have got round to watching most of them. I wargame the Napoleonic era, which is why I'm very interested in it.
  14. Bonaparte and oo7 are both right about Wellington. Wellington's uniform was red, but at the battle of Waterloo he wore a blue overcoat, as seen in this picture: However, as you said you're going for the Peninsular War, red would be more accurate. I assume this Wellington is based on Lego-Sharpe's Wellington?
