evancelt Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 Captain Brickleton and Lieutenant Tennyson enjoy some fresh melon that Trooper Rolston has halved during his solo sabre drill. Captain Brickleton instructs the hussars to drill regularly to stay in tip-top fighting shape, never knowing just when they will be called upon to ship out in the fight against Oleon. OOC: I wanted to try out a new kind of SNOT base. It isn't as sturdy as the one I usually use, but is nice for change of pace. Quote
Count Vroskri Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 I like this new style base, and a great build over all. We'll have to call it the ' @evancelt SNOT base'! Quote
evancelt Posted January 29, 2021 Author Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) Idea for build is based on a cavalry drill at West Point featured in the 1985 TV series 'North and South': Spoiler Edited January 29, 2021 by evancelt Quote
Khorne Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 Clean build, with an interesting base and some great minifigures. It first I didn't get that the spheres on the sticks were watermelons until I read the text. Now the pink stuff they're eating makes sense . Quote

Haha if you look closely in the Produce Farm build, you can see these exact melons being grown! Benedict Thorpe had so many extras, he donated a few to the Hussars. Quote

Capt Wolf Posted January 31, 2021 Posted January 31, 2021 Wonderfully posed scene, and the melons are great! Quote

Yeah with like 75 - 100 people total on the island, these guys should be chipping in to build some stuff! 17 hours ago, Khorne said: Wow, that's really neat to see this sort of continuity! I had to look super close to spot them, though . I don't always do a good job with it, but I'm trying to string some sort of a rough narrative together with all of my builds. I happened to find those round 2x2 dome pieces in this mixed tupperware last month and tried to think what I could do with them... melons! 6 hours ago, Capt Wolf said: Wonderfully posed scene, and the melons are great! Thanks! I've been featuring the 26th Foot in recent builds and wanted to give the Hussars some love Quote
Bregir Posted February 1, 2021 Posted February 1, 2021 Excellent training scene. I have seen the Danish Royal Hussar Guards exercise with melons too. Very dramatic! Quote
