I'm not going to go into specific combos, but as far as nationalities to the redcoats are generally the English and bluecoats I have seen used as either French or colonial Americans. I hope that's what you were asking for, cause I don't want to look like a doof. Most standard units of most armies did NOT have epaulettes so I leave them off my troops. As far as I am aware the standard doctrine is tricorne=mid-18th century standard foot soldiers for England, France, and colonial America, and shako(tall hat I think you were talking about)=grenadiers from that period and also foot soldiers of England and France during the napoleonic wars. Hope this helped!

I shall proclaim the creation of my own new faction! I am not going for the purple of the CMF Princess, more of a "rich" and "luxurious" shade actually. If you google the Ocanonda Farr minifigure that's the color I'm thinking. I think it will look very good once put into a uniform similar to that of the classic redcoats and bluecoats we all know. I am getting ideas should a huge red vs blue "war" like the Tournament of Retribution pop up again. The idea may be a bit rediculous but that is my specialty. I think I'll make it work.

Hi! I need a recolour of the classic imperial guard/soldier torso (from the old Lego pirates) in purple please. The color should match the arms of the Ocanonda Farr minifigure of Star Wars as those are the arms I'm using. I suppose the only downside of creating a new faction is that there are no decals for it.
-
To the contrary, I am trying to make a figure on that just to see how it looks and if it had a proper torso design on it I think it would actually look alright. True, there are some things purple should not be used on but, you must remember, purple back then was a sign of wealth. Therefore, perhaps "purple coats" could come from a wealthy country? Now that we've gone on a huge detour from the actual topic, I am curious if another TOR is coming up. It would be nice tnice to see all the anti-redcoats and anti-bluecoats scenes and such while I am actually a member. It would still be really tough for me to pick a side.
-
Geez that's a lot of royal officers. Never though that "purple coat" thing would catch on with anyone else.
-
I have switched sides many a time in this debate. However, I'm currently liking blue a lot. I feel like, at least with the classic design so we're fair since the newer redcoats design< new bluecoats design, the blue just looks better. I tend to think of myself as a "purple coat" as purple is not only one of my favorite colors but also red+blue=purple. Who knows. Maybe tomorrow I'll like red better.

Hello, my name is Leutinant Bluecoat!
Volt replied to LieutenantBluecoat's topic in Hello! My name is...
Interesting. I have a few ships and such built from my time gone that I'll be able to post once I figure out how to get pictures from my iPhone onto my computer. I seem to remember seeing you being fairly active during the past while though. Must be mistaken. Excuse me if I quoted incorrectly but I'm on mobile. -
I think I'd have to pick the 10210 Inperial Flagship as far as an official LEGO set goes, as it IS my most prized set and I love all the detailing and the plethora of cannons. However, as for a REAL ship I think It would be really cool to captain a massive early-19th century Ship-of-the-line, especially a wooden giant like the Santisima Trinidad or the famous HMS Victory.

Hi LeutinantBluecoat! I'm quite an old account and went inactive for a couple years. Now since I'm better at building and customizing I'll be returning. Since I saw you were fairly new I figured I'd welcome you even though I have likely been forgotten ;) -
this definitely has some very useful pieces in it! Can't wait to (maybe) get one! edit: I would love to see more imperials rather than having a collection of a billion captain brickbeards or whatever the heck they would decide to call the next one.
-
I have a new request based on my current needs, however if someone actually was doing my request i would still like to have that. I need helmet decals designed for the brickarms M1 pot helmet: I need a WWII US 2nd rangers decal (like the design on the back of the helmet), and the 29th rangers helmet/arm patch decal. Thanks!
-
could anyone consider either of the decals i requested? the suit is not very important, and it is not required that anyone do it.
-
also can i get back decals for the pinstripe suit torso i specified? Thanks in advance to whoever does this
-
I really need a decal that is a modification to this torso I need a variation of it with pinstripes that would look like this suit. I also need a WWII French Infantry Soldier (torso only, i think back would just have the bandoliers) Reference image: it would be very cool if someone could make these for me! plus: could someone change that image into a link for me? I know it's very big

I would suggest using gray body, a lego spear, and (if you are OK with 3rd party items) Brickforge sells helmets, spears and shields.
-
love it. oddly enough, i recently went to visit the ship used in the movie at San Diego. She's near the Star Of India and the USS Midway. Sorry can't post pics they are way too big. I would say that you got it about perfect. Figurehead is a little off, supposed to be more like a warrior. The ship's figurehead greatly resembles the ancient greek godess Athena.
-
Love the "crowbar beard" that he's got there. I like the hat design too.
-
I was about to say "dang you you modified bricks!", but then i looked at slide three and smiled real big. I'll use this most likely.
-
Which one to pick?? This is my first tournament of retribution. I might get around to making a MOC but I'm busy with other stuff...
-
That was a good one! Makes me wonder if the "governor" and his men are actually bad guys...
-
I am liking the looks of the revolutionary soldier. First collectable minifigure that was from a famous war. I'll have to pick up a lot of those. That wig <3 Also, that centurion catches my eye...
-
yah. Sometimes odd coincidences happen like that. Can't wait to see the next chapter! Brickington sounds like a name that most lego-pirate lovers think of when they are looking for a username or character name.

Looks like you've got a future Tournament of Retribution winner there!
