gentlmen, After a little break to participate to the different summer contests, and i'd like to thank those who get the idea of critics contest, which makes us discuss a lot, i get back to my first love: always pushing forward to get a realistic "legoish" grande armée, i finished my heavy cavalry. 20230711_071934 by LA BRIQUE DE CAMBRONNE, sur Flickr (my collection, mostly hussars) So i present you my french carabinier 20230829_231938 by LA BRIQUE DE CAMBRONNE, sur Flickr and my cuirassier 20230815_024132 by LA BRIQUE DE CAMBRONNE, sur Flickr i hope you don't mind the custom parts i made. PS: i 've never really known if my napoleonic posts should be posted here or on the custom minifigure forum. please let me know if it bother you i put it here.

Sorry i haven't seen your answer. i made it with 3d printer.

Congrats to the winners !!!!!!! Especially @Rui miguel for his fantastic concepts. And of course, thank you to @Peppermint_M for this contest.

Thanks, i'll try lots of configuration, i get the same conclusion.

helle bucaneers, i modified the figure head. Is it better? Parts count is now at 50. The first pic or the 2nd one is the best solution? projet mini pirate by LA BRIQUE DE CAMBRONNE, sur Flic projet mini pirate_2 by LA BRIQUE DE CAMBRONNE, sur Flickr

Thanks and me to, i prefer fabric sails. But i don't know how to make it in stud.io. I'll cant modify figure head for now but i'll do as soon i'll be able. @Rogue Redcoat gave a nice upgrade for it.

Indeed, but i'm like Rick, i'd love to enter in the eldorado fortress contest, but i have to start small. It is the name of the boat, and i don't think there is something like hms or uss for the pirates. And maybe i had to put parenthese around "mini"

If i design it, i'll get out of the contest. But i think a little grappling hook exists (if i remember a old set i had, the resQ team truck). Thanks for this idea, i admit that i seems better for a little boat like this one ( and no spare cannon ball, so more accessories for the set).

Ok, thanks for the tip. I have to admire lego designers, who can easily make a mini set with 30 parts enjoyable and playable. It is the biggest challenge for this contest to make something playable with less than 50 parts.

Thank you for your feed back. Yes it is a functionnal cannon (i pick one of those which lego made for starships https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=15403#T=C. It should be a mini set with playable feature, like it used to be. So i wanted to add a cannon, but it is too big, it seems awkward. Maybe with different colors it could be better seen. And for the figure head, i agree, i try to find out how to reduce arms length. Thank you a lot. It seems to be really better and it is what i wanted ( and 1 part less than my design)

Yes it is. As it should be released some years ago, i imagined it with vinyl sails ( like in the 6351, but with a pirate look. I don't know how to make it on stud io. Do you mean make arms shorter?

rudder by LA BRIQUE DE CAMBRONNE, sur Flickr you can see i used the triangle flag.

I just release mine, for a brick built rudder, add the pieces usually put under bigger boats, it will give you the space for this rudder.

sorry for the disturbance. So Rick One Eye, fed up with the fact that he had to obey to REDBEARD, use his saving to buy a ship and become captain. But he used to spend all of his incomes to the pirate's inn, so he was only able to buy a little pinnace, and a 1 pound gun. He is now free to sail and attack all merchant ships cruising in his domain. projet mini pirate boite by LA BRIQUE DE CAMBRONNE, sur Flickr projet mini pirate_7 by LA BRIQUE DE CAMBRONNE, sur Flickr projet mini pirate_8 by LA BRIQUE DE CAMBRONNE, sur Flickr "ATTACKS ....." projet mini pirate_6 by LA BRIQUE DE CAMBRONNE, sur Flickr the abuse of alchool is dangerous for your health. I had some troubles with the counting method of stud.io, because submodels count as 1 part. So i redisigned it, removing some play features (fishing stick, fish, some cannon ball) to make it reach the rules. Critics, fire free......

What an impressive work!!!! Did you secretly work in the marketing/designing office of lego 25 years ago?

I really love the ship, and especially its hull. Will you offer or sell instructions after the the contest?

hello there, here my entry.

Hello adventurers, For my first entry of all times, i give some steroids to tle lego adventurer dino explorers 5943. projet adventurer by LA BRIQUE DE CAMBRONNE, sur Flickr It is a half track, used as mothership to our adventurer team. It can transport kayak, motorcycle, and all the equipment to fulfill all the expeditions where our team is involved. They carry a cage to transport some savage animals, to cure them, and protect them againt Baron Von Baron. In order to help them to load and unload the truck, a tow was added, and the backstage is suspended. projet adventurer_25 by LA BRIQUE DE CAMBRONNE, sur Flickr projet adventurer_17 by LA BRIQUE DE CAMBRONNE, sur Flickr projet adventurer_15 by LA BRIQUE DE CAMBRONNE, sur Flickr

Thank you! i share them to get some critics and improve. There is so much beautiful work here i'd like to reach the technic and artisitic level.

And the opponant, the infamous count rochefort, captain of the cardinal's guard. Cardinal's musketeer by La BRIQUE DE CAMBRONNE, sur Flickr Cardinal's guard by La BRIQUE DE CAMBRONNE, sur Flickr Musketeer's duel by La BRIQUE DE CAMBRONNE, sur Flickr

Thank you

Going further in the french military history, i present you the musketeer. i'm proud of the sword. Musketeer by LA BRIQUE DE CAMBRONNE, sur Flickr Musketeer by LA BRIQUE DE CAMBRONNE, sur Flickr One for all, and all for one !!!!!!

Yes, thanks to white waterslide decals. And thank you for the apprecation.

Thank you a lot for your reply. I'm happy you like it. I know that common inkjet printers are far from good for tiny designs like minifigs torso. May i invest in a laser printer later.

For the 1st option, is it possible to use parts which came out after 2015? Or do we have to stay with old parts ?
