Solscud007 Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 (edited) When I saw the accessories for the POTC sets, I had to get one for my Musketeer. Now he has a proper Rapier holder!!! Edited May 29, 2011 by Rufus Indexed Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Nice simple upgrade, the sword holder is indeed a neat additional accessory for the musketeer fig. Quote
Masked Builder Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Lookin good! Why didn't I think of this? Quote
CMP Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Lookin good! Why didn't I think of this? A better question is why LEGO didn't think of this. Quote
Solscud007 Posted April 23, 2011 Author Posted April 23, 2011 (edited) Yeah, it bugs me that the Musketeer has a printed cross belt/holder. It doesnt make sense for him to have it on his right side. Unless he is left handed. I also added a main gauche. On Dealiest Warrior I saw a weapons expert talk about Musketeers and he said they carried a main gauche along with their rapier.

Gryphon Ink Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 I'd just like to give my Musketeer a musket. Because he's a MUSKETEER, yanno? I have one of the old Pirates muskets, but it really doesn't look right for him. It's kind of silly that he didn't come with a firearm. Quote
Brickdoctor Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Nice simple mod, Solscud. Looks great. Is it possible to slightly angle the blade downward? I think that might look better. Quote

Solscud007 Posted April 23, 2011 Author Posted April 23, 2011 "I know something you do not know" Why the secrecy? So I gave the musketeer a make over. Captain Jack Sparrow's face is a perfect match for the Musketeer. And likewise for Captain Sparrow. Brickdoctor: I could angle the blade more downward but then that raises the hilt of the rapier and the Musketeers hand gets in the way. So I would have to raise the hand rather high to accommodate the raised hilt. Quote
The Legonater Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Why the secrecy? Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's a Princess Bride quote. That's a nice, simple change you've done! I'll probably do it myself if I egt my hands on the musketeer. Quote

So I would have to raise the hand rather high to accommodate the raised hilt. I see. Looks good both ways. Quote
Flare Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 Nice upgrade, its dumb that LEGO couldn't have thrown that one piece in with the musketeer "I know something you do not know" "Oh, there's something I ought to tell you. Tell me. I'm not left-handed either." Princess Bride is a movie that everyone should watch... good stuff, good stuff... Quote
Captain Bayonet Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 Great MOD! I think it might look better in white but still, great idea! Quote
