I don't mean to double post, but here is an update on my army: Two new Admirals: All three officers: (me in the middle ;-) )

Hello again. I thought I would reveiw one of my favorite peices of all times: The Admiral Bicorne!!! I absolutely LOVE this hat. Why? It sure beats the heck out of me, I guess I've always admired it. About a month ago I was lucky enough to score a Knights of Columubs hat for about $15 USD at a flea market. The hat is almost identical to the lego version, so I thought I would make a little thread about it. I know, I'm makin' a big deal over the hat. Oh well! :-P Here is a picture of my parrot and the hat. Why my parrot? 'Cause she is both piratical and parrotical! :-D Overveiw: Another side shot: Front: Close-Up Front: Notice the real one has yellow tassels in the front. As a side note also, this specific hat is supposed to be worn 'vertically', like Goveronr Broadside, as apposed to Admiral Woodhouse's, worn 'horizontally'. Leading Officers: Scale Comparison: Lego Version Side: Lego Version Front: Lego Version Back: And now Admiral Davenport will wear the hats in the three different 'styles': Also, here is a picture of me wearing the hat. (Yes, my face is blocked out.) Head-on: 'Sideways' And there you have it: The Admiral/Governor Bicorne! EDIT: And as requested by Mr. Phes:

I agree, many overseas items are great, and sometimes they are even cheaper, but it is just easier to only purchase in the u.s.

Well see, I don't want to buy any peices from other countries. I live in the U.S., and those goveronr torsos are rare. I bought the only ones in the U.S., so they are rarer for me than they are for you. It really depends on location, I guess. (Same with the admiral bicornes)

Thanks chewie. I used a 1 x 1 headlight brick to connect the sheild.

Welcome to EB! Here is a link to the ship index in case you're wonderin': http://eurobricks.hosting.ipsyn.com/eurofo...?showtopic=7440 I can't see your picture, have you attached it?

I don't know, i've never tried. It may, but I'm not sure. And next time I use it, I'll be sure to soak my figures overnight, so thank you! My hands hurt so bad from all the extra scrubbing! :-D

Nice ship, Mister Tiber! I like the classic white stripe along side your ship! Well done! P.S. Instead of posting in the Person above you thread, I took your advice, and I built myself an imperial soldier ship, i'll post pics when it is fully completed. X-D

Cool! But I also think you should use decals. (personally, I don't like to customize any of my figs, but thats just me) If you want to get rid of original paint, you could also use Brasso! It works well, especially, say, if there is a plain coloured torso you need, but you don't have it, use brasso on it, and WA-LA! A plain coloured torso.* *(VIGOROUS SCRUBING REQUIRED) :-(

Actually, my hat is on the wrong way and its the wrong colour plume! :-P Close enough, I'm not gonna complain, even if I already did! :-D Does that make sense? 8-|

I love your entry Zeeky! I'm in it, yay! (My sigfig's facial expression works well in your scene too!) Great job! :-)

Thanks.

The person above me agrees that I should stop posting in this thread. :-( EDIT: I've run out of things to say, 112 posts later! :-D (Finally!)

Why doesn't LEGO makes this available on shop.lego.com? Is it a LEGOLAND exclusive?

Again, I don't mean to double post, but this one deserved his own post: Pillsbury Doughboy: My sigfig: Me:

Here's a picture of me: (I had a plume upgrade: yellow to blue) Here's a picture of me with my broken computer. (Some assembly required) ok, ok, I'm not really a lego minifigure governor. Here is a real picture of me: (No, I'm not Ron Weasly, and I'm not drunk)

I don't get the person above me. 8-|

Yeah, I don't like the skull and crossbones, but it is still classy and classic. And I clicked your sig, Mr. Tiber! *sing*

The person above me is a famous comedian playing a villian in a series of unfortunate books. X-D

The person above me took that the wrong way! 8-|

The person above me should reward me! :-D

To the person above me: "Thank goodness, because if I wasn't, I would have never danced like a monkey!"

The person above me should prepare......... OOOO-EEEEE----AhHHHHHH-AHHHHH! Good? ;-)

The person above me knows that I would appreciate that.

The person above me is amused.
