At some point in life you always will regret it... but it's your Lego.

One of the worst minifigs for me

Like Alice said: Hopefully, you will get it soon... but welcome to the world of Ebay and his sellers. I personally had 3 bad experiences on a row at ebay… so it's bye bye Ebay for me... just Bricklink now.

I started with the first ships and vehicles of Classic-space in 1978-1979. Still for me the best Lego sets ever. With the holy grail of Lego, the LL 928. In the meantime I also collected in that periode the first Castle sets like the yellow castle and some town/city sets. But in 1981-82 the Castle line stopped (shame on you TLC). Because City/Town & Trains was not realy my cup of tea only Space remained (Fabuland was also not my dada in those days). Until Futuron (1988-89) I collected every thing of Space but on a given point the Space-line has gone the wrong way for me... with Space Police, M-Tron, Blacktron Future Generation, etc. So bye bye Lego for me because the killed for me the 2 momost beautiful themes... Space and Castle. I was a year or 16-17 and started to going out to the clubs and I came in contact with sex, drugs & house/techno. I used drugs untill I was 25-26-27. Then needed 4 years to get myself back on the good track. Started to work and started my own company (grafic and concept design). After some years I meet my girlfriend and we started to live together. I moved my personal stuff from my parents house to our house. And what did I found on the attic at my parents house... indeed my old lego and the lego virus. First bought some Lego on ebay, then discovered the lego sites and forums, then discovered bricklink and then started to build MOCs. This I do for 1 year now. I like many different themes now but have little interest for train and city/town. This is my little history of my Dark Ages and the re-discovery of Lego.

I also want some historical accuracy... but I don't know nothing about uniforms. But I want to avoid that I use a black torso with blue epaulettes if that isn't used in that time. The only thing I use is the design of the official LEGO® soldiers torso and shako and epaulettes. I also want to use a white backpack. This I find a nice uniform... but because the bands on the torso are already in white on the official LEGO® torso, I think it's gone be tooooo white... no longer a contrast / difference. Thanks (hartelijk bedankt... )

I would like to see something in the line of "Orient Expedition"... in particular a theme like the French Foreign Legion. Let say around the period of 1800-1900. With a desertfort, camels, palmtrees, angry desert tribes, desert war vechicles and many tan. I think it would be a theme that with several other off. (like Indiana Jones, Pirates) and no-off lego themes (like WW I, ApocaLego,...) can be combined.

Please read this before giving comments: 1) I have nothing against Lego puritans. 2) Everybody is free to think and act with his Lego how he/she wants (to paint, to glue, to cut, ect). 3) If you can't handle this, then just leave before you post some foolish comment. 4) Otherwise,... give comment and help me. So what I want to do is this: For fun I want to create a new "army" (let say a minifig or 5). To create "dad's army" I gone use some old Red Coats and give them a new colour... with an airbrush pistol. I want to use the airbrush because I don't like stickers. Not that I will never use stickers but not in this case. But I don't know what would be the best color because my historical knowledge on this area is zero. So... what would be a nice colour and what should be the colour of the epaulettes ? Please keep in mind that the epaulettes only come in Blue - Brown - Red - White - Yellow (and Pearl Gold) I personally thought of dark green with white epaulettes - but I don't know of such uniform exist ?! What do you think historics ! If about this and on this forum already a page exists, forgive it me...

Thanks RTN LNA (Lego Naval Architect)... respect !!!

Ha, didn't know that (I'm a newbie...lol)... so every country had his colours Phred ?

Thanks guys... to show these super nice parts... keep them coming...
