[MOC] Siege of Toulon Collaboration Display

[berninhr]

I thought I would share a recent display me and  Franco Clarke did at reading brick show this year.

Its the Siege of Toulon (1793) base off the recent(ish) napoleon film.

The ship of the line and the frigate were mine and Franco Clarke built the fiery brig and the very impressive fort.

Please let you know what you think or if you have any questions

Looks impressive! Glad that Napoleon Bonaparte is not using Assassin's Creed tactics in this scene. 

Are there more close ups of the fortress and the battle itself? Would love to see it. Either way, good job, ye two!

Great build and collaboration to make it all work. I like all the fire on the ships.

Impressive fleet and fortress! I like that you used all those yellowed and outworn bricks for the fortress! The French even bring a mobile guillotine The chopping bears no delay!

Got a few more shots showing a few other details, glad that you liked the guillotinemobile.

An overview looking North.

Sailors hard at working warping HMS Agamemnon out of the line of fire.

Smaller vessels burn under revolutionary mortar fire.

Bluecoats storm the batteries atop the fort, scaling the walls and climbing up inside.

If you want any other specific views, we intend to take this to some shows later in the year, and should be able to take more then.

OUTSTANDING, and very impressive.

This is so cool! Do you have any more pics of the largest ship?

[Franco Clarke]

Glad you like it, we ran the display again this past weekend in Coventry, and have a couple more photographs from it. 

A slight variation from the previous iteration, I brought along a Spanish frigate, whilst Berninhr provided a brig to burn.

Massed ranks of Bluecoats storm the fort.

A wider view of the assault.

The last Redcoats cling on in the tower.

Gunner's view of the action.

Barges haul the Agamemnon out the line of fire.

One final shot from the other side. 
We're planning on taking this to the Swindon show in a couple of weeks, if anyone's in the vicinity.
