This is the best lego army I have ever seen! Fantastic work! *y*

Mmmm..... a very rough estimation: $1300.

You are one lucky person, my friend.

Bonaparte, as someone who has been trying to build up an army myself, I am also very impressed at the size of your Napoleonic troops. The imperials aren't getting any cheaper after all. ;-)

Have you added more soldiers to your army since you posted this?

Posted

indeed, they aren't getting cheaper. But I stopped buying them myself as I have found more accurate ways of making French troops.

a marvelous army indeed Mr. Bonaparte but I have some questions:

-Only 2 men per cannon? Crews could sometimes have 16 men

-The torso for the cuirassiers, there is a blue version of this torso, why then use the black version?

TT

That is beyond incredible! WOW! I'm speechless. Where the hell did you get all of those men from? There are so many there it is difficult to comprehend. Wow!

Regards, Captain Zuloo *wub*

Your army is quite large. You should add more calvary men and artilary because of the battle of the Waterloo.

P.S. I made a guilottiene out of lego's to celebrate Bastille Day even thought i'm not french.

Wait do you live in Europe. Because I'm an american so sorry I have no euro's. I have a few but not alot. Sorry :pir_bawling:

I'm in the mood for bumping some old threads tonight :pir_laugh2:

No, serious, the reason I bumped this one is because I'm working on a decent band for my Napoleonic army.

Two musicians for an entire army is not enough, so I'm targeting at least 8 or 10.

I don't remember seeing your army napoleon, that's Huge !!!!!

and... [stupid joke] why do you need some more musicians with the speakers there is behind it ? XD [/stupid joke]

can't wait to see your new musician troops !

Seeing the state they were in last weekend, i'd say they are more in need of a medic and some decent food before marching off again! :pir-grin:

I'll be paying a visit shortly and I bring some food and medicin for the men, so maybe I can convince them to start a mutiny and to let me take them with me for some "healthcare" :pir-grin:

If I only would have known what they would cost now a few years ago...

Nice army Bonaparte! Maybe if my army grows it can fight side by side with yours as Grouchy's corps (in Wavre, while yours is getting defeated in Waterloo). :pir-tongue:

Yes, currently the army is stored in some plastic boxes. Space is an issue for the moment, but I'm working on that :pir-classic:

Fancy that!!! :pir-wub:

I truely love the cuirassiers, standing in a row shoulder to shoulder which makes them very impressive! I also like the huuuge ammount of infantry. I thought I was doing nice with my army. :pir-grin: , which is French too so I don't have to be scared. :pir-sweet:

You should add some detail to your cannons, maybe some sticks onto it so it can be carried around with a horse?

- Just an idea, although I don't even see how you can improve this Grande Armée. :pir-laugh:

Cheap shako's don't exist anymore. Today normal prices are $5 :'-(

I think that everybody agree with that... but it is not possible that we do an action and with that money we go to a company and let them create a "shako-mal" (sorry don't know the correct word for 'matrijs'). Simply thought, would not know if this is feasable.

I just used my cheap HP printer. The decal is available in the torso lib.

Has somebody already used a airbrush (buy a blue or red soldier torso, us masking tape and spray) ??? Or is this killing lego... :pir-laugh::pir-wink:

You are right. I should expand the band a bit. Add some different instruments maybe. I'll look into that.

Would be great.

Grtz,

kurt

The problem is that:

- LEGO is the owner of the design

- a form costs some thousend EUR

But the new shakos should be available soon, isn't that an oportunity.

I also had the design already available for 3d print but I didn't test it for copyright reasons and availablilty of the new pirate series.

In princible it's also possible to use my french shako as basic and make an shako which comes very nearby.

If that's wanted I can make a test version ...

Looks very good, Woody64, just like all the rest of your helmets and hats, what do you think it will approximatly cost?

I'm working on the shop version but based on the experience from french shako I assume $2 - $2.5.
