Hi,
One of my colleague (not an AFOL) is a great fan of Napoleon. As he knows
about my strange hobby (“laygoz”), he asked me a MOC some months ago.
I’m not a great or prolific builder (and I feel good with that) so I took a
look at Allan Bedford’s book for some ideas.
The miniland people in chapter 4 caught my eyes so I had a try at a miniland
scale Napoleon and decided to make (another) building instruction to share
it :

Regards,
Didier
PS : MisaQa great hair style for miniland charachter is also very
inspirating , be sure to check her BS gallery :

PPS : I haven’t been able to find a more suitable FUT group, if
build.minilandscale doesn’t exist, it should be created.

Good stuff, Didier! Thanks for sharing - I’m a big Napoleon fan as well. I
have a print of David’s Napoleon
Crossing the Alps hanging in my dining room.

(Side note : I have a print of Edward Hopper - the long leg :

trans-atlantic painters for our dining room ;-))

Was your depiction based on a
particular image of Napoleon?
|
Yes, my colleague gave me a picture of a figurine. It look more or less like
this one : http://www.napoleon-prints.com/images/dhm_206_small.jpg
Seeing this particular picture I’m realizing I should have added a sword.

It’s a shame that his right hand is hiding the red and white shirt (vest?).
Perhaps you could extend that bit another stud upwards so that they are
visible above the hand.
|
Maybe not extend upwards but shorten the arm...well many things are possible
with LEGO parts but become more and more difficult when scaling down :)
Thanks.
