"Vive L’Empereur!" 200th Anniversary of Napoleon's R

[Mr. Townsend]

An excellent built Gary! I love to get a good dose of History with a good MoC. I'm currently reading my first book on Napoleon though I've not gotten to this event. Great work sir.

This build is at another level. It is fantastic. I assume the french flag is custom made, if so, was there no possibility to fold it?

What a great idea - this looks fantastic.

Sorry it took so long to respond guys, busy-busy!

Thank you Mr. T, glad to help visualize your reading! I love history, it gives you a greater understanding of everything, really.

Palm-to-forehead moment, you're right kinggregus, I should have folded it for effect! Yes, it's a Cape Madness product. Normally I'm 100% LEGO purist, but flags at minifig scale just don't work (just try and build a recognizable Union Jack at that scale....good luck--you'll need it...). Your Fort Portugal is awesome, BTW!

What a great idea - this looks fantastic.

Thank you AF, I appreciate it.

Thanks for celebrating this important day in my life!

If only I could have finished the damn English at Waterloo we'd be having this conversation in French.

Any chance you'll be visiting Belgium in the future? I'd be happy to give you a tour of the Waterloo battlefield.

Thank you Bonaparte for that great laugh! Humor is a beautiful thing....

I sure wish I could come to Europe again this year and be at the celebrations there in June, that would be such a joy. It would be awesome to get a tour from you as well! Originally I had planned to be there for the 200th Anniversary, but I had to switch jobs last October at much lower pay (but now have real job security) and now the money's too tight to afford the tickets from Virginia right now. Also my 17 year old son would come with me, so two tickets... Anyway thank you for the offer, it's tempting to go into debt and do it anyway,...

****So instead I will be building some MOCs to go with it. Next up is a 1-stud per foot build of La Haye Sainte Farm, along with the orchard and garden. This below is the plan I intend to build. I believe the main farm is about a 98 foot by 98 foot area. You'll have to let me know that you think:

I blame it on the belgians too...
