I've resized the photos, so it's easier for everyone to read ;)

Hi, I've been a Villa fan for nearly a decade, been through glory times and really tough times. I've always wanted to do this, so recently, I've combined my love for Aston Villa with Lego, and made some new designs for other teams too. Hey? Any Villa fan in here? To start off with, of course: I've done, in total 4 designs, an Aston Villa 13/14 home shirt, England 2014 world cup home shirt (men and women), and Arsenal 15/16 home shirt. I haven't figured out how to make the 15/16 Villa shirt, so it's still in experimental process, as for why I chose the 13/14 one, but not 14/15 one or earlier. It's because this is the design I like most in recent years. One other thing I did was the Acrons logo, I prefer not to help the betting company to advertise, and I've always wanted to help promote the local hospice. Ever since I did a year of volunteering in a hospice, I've always had many respect with the place, and wanted to help promote this practice. And of course, Acrons is the main charity sponsored and promoted by Aston Villa, as all fans know. So move on to the 3 Lions (England) shirts. It's a hard design, as all things are white. But I've managed to make one for my gf and one each for Gerrard and Rooney. And as all who follow English football knows what Gerrard is famous for.... XD Rooney: You do not flipping slip!!! You do not Flipping SLIP!!!!! Gerrard and Rooney discussing how to take the free kick. He is also famous for being a very efficient person, and can get done by 38 seconds :grin: I meant to do Arsenal players, as I was going to make one for Sanchez, but I ran out of white legs, so they became the top-4 glory hunters (Arsenal fans).... with selfie sticks!! I really think they should be banned in the stadium... don't you agree? The guy can't resist to take a selfie while being chased by a maniac (me) OMG Rooney got into the act! Thanks for reading, tell me what you think :)

Not really... Red coats rule XD

Brilliant! I like the texture of the water and the walls. Great stuff

Thanks consider it done :), in fact I've re-sized all the above pictures, using the re-size function on photobucket... hopefully it will work. Funny you mentioned, because that's what I've aimed at.

And a small update requested by my friend: I really should have done it earlier, since this is Victory and it's Lord Nelson.

Thanks everyone for the comments, I really appreciated them. And thanks hobbes5a/avatar for your dedication to comment on two forums :thumbup: And to my friend, Cpt Becker, I've used my all my legos for the outside of the ship already, so.. um... I guess the interior design is just... um.. less impressive :p :p

[pid][/pid] 141B Hi guys, I haven't been around for a long time. I was in the process of sorting out all the Legos in my home, then I thought to myself: Let's build something out of it :) So this ship was built from really limited resources, and I do know Victory got 3 decks, but again... sadly not enough bricks :( First thing first, I've uploaded a video on YouTube detailing the working rudder. Please go and take a look: (It's only 2 minutes, so it won't take you very long :)) And I understand there are many photos so if you can't load them or for any other reasons, please go to my album on photobucket: http://s225.photobucket.com/albums/dd213/alextam93/HMS%20Victory/ And actually I've edited many of my photos and added captions on them using the edit function on Photo-bucket, but I don't understand why it doesn't show up on here... And to the photos, here you go: A view of the port side: A view of the starboard side: The bow: And the stern: This time I've tried the new "cheese slope" mosaic at the back. I've tried to make the back as "Victory-ish" as possible, but as you can see, it's still a long way to go. Here are some bird's eye views as well: To make this ship more user-friendly, I've adopted a modular building style. Starting from the bottom without anyone: Now fill up the bottom deck... with a gold philosophy... (In case you can't see it, it's "No Port, NO Life") And as always, a tiny problem between our small friends and everyone else. Okay, second floor. Some closeups: And again my philosophy is quite popular among the sailors. (And in case you can't see it, it's "The best way of life is being drunk") Well... someone got to work: On the same floor towards to the front of the ship, we have the kitchen: Not to mention the not so fancy captain's cabin: Here you could have a guess on how my rudder actually work. The doors: And just to show you that there are 4 lamps in the cabin: After finished with the inside of the ship, allow me to show you the deck: I've got many muskets let lying around, and I don't like the idea of bucket. I just wanna show you Lord Nelson(the guy with a blind eye and only one arm.) hehe Just want to show you the anchor(one per side): Now the mast and rigs of the ship: Here are some other views of the ship: Last but not least, please please please leave me some comments. Thank you for reading.

No, you misunderstood me. I meant the grey gun muzzle of the 32 pounder, I think it might be better if it were to be in black. Since you can only see the gun muzzle from an outside view of your ship, hence you won't have a row of cannons in grey, then black.

don't think your 12pounder will move very well :P The others look very good btw, would it look better if all cannons are in the same colour tone?

British Redcoat of an oversea battalion. Got funding and support from the British government, so don't really care on my allies. We would only make friend with the following people in the list if they offer free service. For example, supplying new boots from a merchant called Clerks for us to kick the megablocks out of any Bluecoats. The list of possible friends: Pirates! Merchants! Spaniards! Mermaids! Privateers! French! (If in non-blue coat) Chinese! Red Coats! *Edit: Nearly forget about this. I am in war with anyone who is in my way! :pir-skull:

I can't see the kiss mark on his face This is very funny and well presented.

you'd never fail to get my vote :)

wow this is very creative and nice. keep up the good work :)

Anyway... Signed! The line have many many potential to expend and kept for at least 4 years. I can't see why they have to do this.

Thanks for the replies. And sorry for the late reply. to muffinman42: Thanks... I don't know... but being such a small scale, if I add the Sporran, it isn't quite visible, so I decided not. to Joey: Thanks, I will try some of those heads next time.

Hi, This will be my last MOC until October or Christmas... at most Easter(next year) cos I will be going back to my horrible boarding school... Anyway, I have updated my Scots company. And a little story goes with it as well. Somewhere in the frontier between Portugal and Spain... A Scottish company was checked by the French and they were outnumbered. The French were the blue coated army who marched in great columns and great numbers, and each regiment carried a golden eagle given by the Emperor himself. The Scots were outnumbered, but their spirits were still high, the spirits of wearing red. They marched into thin red line and shouted their war cry: "RED COAT RULES!" To accompany the soldiers, there were the bandsman who play the bagpipes and beat the drum Then... A blue coat colonel talked to his fellow ensign who was playing the trumpet. Colonel: After this, lets go to a tavern and get some port, what do you say? Ensign: Oui, oui, oui! I must say the waitress wears a very short skirt! And... Of course, the Scots heard a different story. The captain of the Scots encouraged them more... Captain: Lads! They say we are wearing skirts! What do we do? The word "skirts" provoked their fury, and they charged like a running bull The blades struck home with them screaming:"This is not a bloody skirt! It is a kilt!!!" And the Blue coat infantry did what they were born to do, they broke and fled The colonel didn't response quick enough and was rewarded a blade struck into his mouth with a sergeant screaming:" This is not a bloody skirt!" The best thing of all, they have taken an eagle! Thanks for watching/reading. Hope you like it and please please leave me some comment, as this story and the decal, bagpipes, drums, flags... did took me some time to write and make. Thank you

I'm sorry, but it seems to me that, the folder is not yet public. Another way of doing it is to post the link of your photo in this format... [ img ] your link [ /img ] (no space between [] and img

It is just fantastic! I love everything , the shield is awsome , I like how you make the kilt too , and the coat It is just so beautiful. I reckon if my black watch see him, they will point their guns against me....

Great! I love how you make the shako , but I am not quite sure that the red plume thing(whatever) is on the centre of the hat... But still, I would say you did a better job than me

yup... maybe, I will join the tournament of green verse yellow... you never know... I think your suggestion might work, if you can cover the hole and make the arm looks like an elbow...

Thank you everyone's comment, I made a mistake... I don't know that he isn't fat, as I use this picture as my reference: Maybe it is just his hand... And, that's the problem with lego... can't create a perfect Blown-a-part, because you can't make the hand in the suit... Thirdly... what'd I do to make him fat like that? I make him go to MacDonald every meal for a month....(joking) What I did is use double sided tape btw, I am not part of the Tournament

Vig. 86a As you know, I am always on the side of the Redcoats, so when I make the leader of the bluecoats, It would be in a suitable look, in the redcoats point of view. :pir-skull: So lets have a look... One day in somewhere near waterloo... Marshal MacDonald is talking to Napoleon... Marshal MacDonald: Votre Majesté, Your cook told me to transport this massage to votre Majesté, he said that he could not prepare RRRRRroast beef as you had ordered, because we were short of cattle and those cattle we had were not fat enough. He told me to ..... Napoleon: Did you look at me when you say short and fat?! I can have your head cut off in seconds!!! MacDonald: Non! No! Nein! I did not do this! Votre Majesté must trust me! I.... Napoleon: Ok! I let you go this time! I will cut your head myself next time! MacDonald: Oui, oui, oui! Votre Majesté, it won't happen again! Here is the decal I used: Hope you like the story and any comment is appreciated, thank you

Wow! I would love to have those wig!!!! http://www.flickr.com/photos/model_gal/376...in/photostream/
