[MOC] White Eagle Knights

[Ayrlego]

Just a quick build to show off the new White Eagle/Red Falcon torsos available from build your own minifig stations. I was very excited to see a new castle faction, especially one that appears to be be a variant of the (best faction) Black Falcons!

 

 

[royalstick]

They look like Polish winged hussar! With white&red flag and white eagle coat of arms!

[danielwerner]

This is awesome! Any chance of instructions? :)

[SirBlake]

That looks great. The torso works really well reversed. 

[brimbolet]

Great idea! Hopefully I can get some of the torsos too.

[GeoBrick]

Nice little scene here. The wore-down look of the roof is quite the finishing touch.

Can I take it some of the equipment worn by the soldiers isn't regular lego (wide-rimmed helmets, halberd, flag spear)?

[Professor Thaum]

Awesome as usual !

Spoiler

Burn in hell with your fleshy figs, you heretic !

 

[Shroffy123]

Looks great. Hopefully I can snag some of these torso. Thanks for posting!

The guy with the crossbow his helmet is custom.  

The guy with the large hammer the hammer is custom

The flag spear is lego   At least it looks like to me.

Yes, I think a lot of Polish AFOL castle fans are very excited!

Thanks, when I first saw them I didn't think it was going to look very good reversed. I'm very happy to be wrong!

Thanks Professor! It's ok, they aren't fleshies, most have light 'nougat' heads - just ask TLG!

Thanks. @zoth33 is pretty much spot on. The Crossbowman has a BrickWarriors Kettlehelm (painted silver). The warhammer head was a custom piece from a third party store in Singapore that I'm pretty sure no longer operates. I think they were called CrazyCustoms or something like that. The red falcon shield was from a Polish Bricklink store back in the days Bricklink could sell custom items. The flag spear is Lego - but modified. I cut off the head of a spear and it is joined to a lance by the flags. I felt the lance needed to be slightly longer and have experimented with different ways over the years (usually using telescope and bar pieces). I have quite a few of the new type spears (and I think I prefer the old type ones anyway) so I decided to sacrilegiously cut one short.

Fine scene, nicely built.

So, I understand, I have to visit the next Lego store as soon as possible 

[Khorne]

Nice straightforward scene to showcase your figures, which look excellent! I had seen the new torsos floating around in other people's MOCs, but I thought they were customs. Good to learn that these are official ones that can be bought. Hopefully they'll be available on Bricklink as well (but the prices will probably make me tear up ).

[Ravelino]

Nice job Ayrlego, I’m amazed at how many MOCs you manage to produce with such constant quality!

I think you’d have to be quick, I know 2 of the 3 stores in my vicinity have already sold out.

Hahahaha far yellow extremist! I used to be in your camp as well but find more and more reasons to let go of yellow heads every now and then.

Not that it makes any difference, but the warhammer head company was called Custom Crazy. It was Malaysian, not Singaporean, though its parts may have been available in Singapore. You’re correct that the company no longer exists. It disappeared some years ago. It also made custom hafts, hilts and chest pieces. I would post a picture of one of its more interesting hilts, but EB is stopping me from posting the picture.

I faced the same problem as you and came up with a similar solution when creating a knight’s lance. I would post a picture, but again, EB isn’t letting me.

Thanks for the warning - but the store in Cologne had plenty of those guys for me

First of all, @Ayrlego my friend I am envying you for getting those torsos! Drool, drool and drool! I guess we must put some pressure on those certified LEGO store of us to keep up faster... 

Secondly, once more I am loving that specific building style of yours. It walks effortlessly between classic builds and overly detailed builds. Not so many builders can achieve that with such consistency. But I have already told you so many times before, so I can proceed to the third and last comment: Bury those fleshies under tons of TLG wheels and tires (I am sure there are tons of these, readily available everywhere)!!!! They are sacrilegious. Vive le Roi classic yellow (and medium nougat because you know, sometimes it is lovely bearable)! 

Oh, and boo on that cut spear. But at least you've created the perfect lance...!

Your MOC is as amazing as the torso figs.  It has a great balance of detail and charm.

[LEGO Train 12 Volts]

Outstanding MOC, very neat construction!

[Kwatchi]

Anyone know if this torso has a code assigned to it?

It doesn’t appear to be on Bricklink yet.

Great looking build.  I like how you reversed the tunic.

One modification I did that seems to fit well is swapping the arms out for ones that match the tunic's color. How would that look with this layout?

Example:

How do we get these figures? Are they still available?

[MontyMatte]

Good job! It's amazing.
