This is amazing!

 I actually wanted to try the roughs and these torsos with armada figs!

 Hope they are heading back to a modernised armada flagship!

 Oh,  a marvelous conquistadores expedition force. I'm quite jealous of your older minifig torso's, and the use of the more recent parts is nicely done.

I thought I'd slap some Bluecoats up here as we can never have enough of those! Some of you will recognize these already but this is for those of you who haven't been playing BoBS. These were some of the units I raised for the Role Building Game, Bretheren of the Brick Seas (BoBS), hosted here on Eurobricks. Era 3 is rumored to begin this coming summer. Mayhaps you too will join us!

LGM2 Local Counterattacks

Line Infantry Advance

Provisional Shore Party No.1

Naval Shore Party

Provisional Shore Party No.2

Penal Legion

4e Regiment de Triallieur Dionysian

Bluecoat Militia

Oleonic Gun and Crew

6 Pound Field Gun

As you can see, BoBS' Bluecoat faction Gran Oleon takes all sorts of coats. More info and figbarfs on the best faction's glorious soldiers may be found here! If Redcoats are more your thing, I don't know why they would be, BoBS' redcoats can be found here. Era 3 of BoBS is meant to focus more on storytelling and roleplaying than previous iterations, so do consider joining us. Specifically, join us at Gran Oleon! Happy holidays and Vive le Roi!

Great stuff - I like the field gun with its crew the most!

These totally purist Spanish Armada figs (six soldiers and one ship's captain) are to be used with my copy of the vessel in set 76440 (Triwizard Tournament - The Arrival) from the Harry Potter theme. The ship won't be built for another four months, but modifications are being planned to give the Spanish treasure ship brick-built sails, cannons, and printed shields - among other things.

Thoughts?

I like that ye used classic smiley faces, many people find them too bland, but that be not the case with me. :cannon: They look good! :pir-thumb: If ye are planning to use them for yer Galleon, I suggest a few more soldiers.

Unfortunately, I can't make more soldiers @Jack Sassy. I cleaned out the last seller of the pants with more than 1 in my country (USA). I really don't want to spend a arm and a leg on shipping from Germany (or wherever) for parts that cost a buck each or less.

Ah, the ultimate sacrifices one must make. :pir-grin: Often I am annoyed by the fact that sellers from USA offer so much more than in Europe (not just LEGO, but things like boater hats too, yer country has so many of them, while Europe lacks such quantity :pir-cry_sad:). And yet, I do like the diversity of European market, so would not trade it for the world. Yer point is fair enough, perhaps a few regular sailors would do the trick of more crew?

I could, but honestly the size of the ship is so small, it might look silly with even these seven figures aboard. Thanks for the idea @Jack Sassy, but I'll just have to wait until the ship is built to see if your idea if feasible.

Aye, it is yer vessel after all. :pir-triumph: The amount ye have at the moment will work just as well. :steve:

Now that I've built the Redcoat ship of my dream, I think I should post a picture of her new crew here! 

From left to right: the Lady, the Captain, the Lieutenant, the Admiral (my younger brother, having read books by Patrick O'Brien, suggested to make him an oppressive grumpy man), the Drummer, the Observation Officer on a Montgolfier and, of course, the Pirates of the Children seas! Sadly, the Quartermaster and Cook aren't shown, because they are still stationed ot the ship's quarterdeck, but you can see them on the pictures in the beforementioned topic

Lovely crew for a lovely ship my friend! Love all of the character designs especially the pirates! Absolutely love that era of pirates.  Fantastic job!
