Bonaparte

I'm a bit late, but I still want to wish you a happy birthday Berry! Now start digging :-D .

I like the fact that you didn't make this ship symmetrical. That's not often done in this kind of MOCs. Very nice how you added the background. Impressive design.

Serious? That's always the first thing I do when I make a new design. As you might notices, my inktjet printer just cannot match the Lego red. I have been playing with this some time ago, but it is just not possible.

I positively surprised with the quality of all the MOCs and it was hard to make a choice. My vote for "Best Looking" and "Best Overall" went to SirNadroj's Town scene:

Thanks for posting these pics oo7. I was looking for them because these MOC are in the movie from this thread.

And here he is, Wellington with his new outfits :-D . They both look very good and I really have no preference. Thanks guys for your work!

Personally I always remove the border. Is there a special reason why you keep it. I did some quick changes with PSP to see the difference.

Nice movie :-D Is that ship on some kind of train rails? There are some great MOCs in this movie. Does anyone have pictures of them? I wonder if I should move this to the Pirate LEGO Discussions forum because that's where we had the other movies. But this movie does contain several MOCs. What does Mr. Phes think?

I'll wait a bit to see if Mr. Norrington manages to resize the pics. Else I will just resize one of them for the first post. Once I've seen that walk-through I'll give my comments.

Wow, another ship by one of my favorite MOC builders! And I notice a lot of revolutionary techniques being used. I'll be closely following your progress on this one Z!

Aha, I was looking for that link, but I couldn't find in on CC this morning. Now I'm curious to find out whether Woody used the colors from MCN or just some random red. Because that could mean they are both giving a different value for the official red... I checked with Paint Shop Pro, and the Mosana-design has RBG = 196,0,38 which is the official red from the Classic-Castle link. The Woody-design has RBG = 202,40,28 which is not matching with the Classic-Castle colors or the MCN colors. Woody, is is possible to update your red color and use RBG = 196,0,38? Just tell me if you think I'm a perfectionist or a freak :-D.

That's fast Mr. Mosana. My first impression is that it looks very good. I will print the torso tomorrow and see how it looks on a minifig. I'll post pictures and give you more feedback. This design is as impressive as the one from Mr. Mosana and I'll also test is tomorrow. Mr Wellington will be happy to have 2 new uniforms ;-) . But I have 2 questions: 1. The red is different than in Mosana's design. So only one of the 2 designs is matching the official Lego red. So I wonder which one will have used the official color? I posted a link to a color guide for the official colors a few posts back in this thread. 2. I notice the black border around the torso design. Should I remove this border with my knife of scissors after printing? Or would it be better to make this border the same color as the adjacent color?

Good to see the 4 elements in this form! Even without the explanation, it is easy to see what each of them represents, so very well done.

You are really up to speed Mr. Mosana! For a color guide, here is the place to be. I have a request for a red Wellington uniform. Currently I'm using this torso for my Wellington: But it is not very accurate as you can see in these pictures:

Happy to see you posted these high quality designs. A small introduction for those who don't know the 95th rifle brigade: In 1800 an "Experimental Corps of Riflemen", the 95th Regiment of Foot were raised by Colonel Coote Manningham and Lieutenant-Colonel the Hon William Stewart, drawn from officers and other ranks from drafts of a variety of British regiments. The Corps differed quite a bit from the main infantry of the British Army. The Riflemen wore dark green jackets rather than the red more customary to the British Army of that time; pantaloons, which were close-fitting breeches, rather than wool breeches; black facings rather than white; a green plume on their shako which the light infantry also wore, as-well as other accoutrements unique to the Rifles. The "Rifles" were armed with the formidable, but slow loading Baker rifle which was more accurate and of longer range than the musket. More info in this wikipedia article: Rifle Brigade For comparison, the uniform of an officer as shown in the Sharpe TV series: I always used these torso's to make my 95th rifles, but that might change now ;-):

You own them both? With the original boxes? Indeed, we need more input from Mr. Piranha. But in the end he'll has to make this decision by himself.

Jep. They are still missing in my collection and I won't buy anything else before I get them. In that case I suggest to flip a coin to make that decision. You can't compare them. A military fortress is completely different from a trading post/harbor.

So you have made all the decals for the the 1st and 2nd French lancers. That's really great. Let's summarize: The 1st French lancer regiment: Lancer, trumpeter and officer The 2nd French lancer regiment: Lancer, trumpeter and officer Austrian Ulan and Husar : I need to find some time to test these on some of my figs.

The Emperor inspecting the Dame du Loup. Vive l'Empereur ! :-D You have a good looking (and numerous) crew for your ship. And you did a good job putting the Bonaparte decal on that fig. The coat of Napoleon was usually grey, but probably his favorite coat was in the laundry the day of the inspection ;-) .

Both sets my on the top of my to-buy list for this year. I plan to buy them both including box and instructions. So I won't choose between them because I want them both.

This is a good looking ship. I really like it! It's nice to see a ship that's not stuffed with cannons. And it has a real British navy flag :-D . It's now part of the Index: MOC ships.

The purple certainly doesn't look bad on this castle. That's not the problem. But I like everything to be "historical correct". Of course, this is just a personal preference of me. And I can not image a castle with purple roofs :-D

Of course you will see it. But when you show a picture of the AT-OT after the movie to the average viewer, I think he won't be able to confirm if this was in the movie or not. Is that the scene where Aayla dies? Shot by some clones? Sorry if these are stupid questions. I've only seen SW3 2 times and never remember all the details (but the death of Aayla is probably not a detail for your...).

This is a very nice castle and a great find. But if this were mine, I would replace the purple by black or red.
