The arch-enemies of Captain Redbeard (called "Kapitein Knoest" in Dutch) and his Pirates during their first few years as part of the LEGO line were Governor Broadside ("Gouverneur Grootzeil") and his Imperial Soldiers!
Under the leadership of Governor Broadside, the Imperial Soldiers had amassed a large gold treasure, stored safely away in their "Eldorado Fortress" ("Soldatenfort 'Schatwacht'", set 6276) and were hunting down the Pirates with their flagship, the "Caribbean Clipper" ("Soldatenschip 'De Overwinning'", set 6274) to prevent Captain Redbeard from stealing their treasure.
There were several smaller Imperial Soldiers sets too, but the "Caribbean Clipper" and "Eldorado Fortress" were the only two sets that featured Governor Broadside, making his minifig much rarer than Captain Redbeard, who appeared in most Pirates sets.
Most of Governor Broadside can be considered a "repaint" from my other papercraft LEGO minifigs: he has a different face with a moustache, stubbles and sideburns and an elaborately decorated jacket and bicorne, but one new part will be the Triple Feather Plume, in addition to the simpler, Small Feather Plume of the Forestmen and the Dragon Feather Plume from the Black Knight!
But first, the "old" parts that just need repainting:
Stay tuned! ;o)
Yey. Met de zomervakantie over 2 weken denk ik dat ik deze ga maken.
ReplyDeleteIk weet niet of ik hem dan al helemaal af heb hoor...! ;o)
ReplyDeleteMaar omdat veel onderdelen hetzelfde zijn zou je tegen die tijd alvast kunnen beginnen met de witte benen van het Spook bijvoorbeeld, de armen en handen van de blauwe Vrijbuiter (Forestman) en het zwaard en pistool van Kapitein Knoest (Captain Redbeard): http://ninjatoes.wordpress.com/category/lego/
Die onderdelen zijn namelijk hetzelfde, de andere moet ik eerst nog aanpassen met de nieuwe textures/kleuren enzo, dus dat duurt nog wel even omdat ik er niet de hele tijd aan kan werken natuurlijk... (maar in de zomervakantie moet ik hem toch wel af kunnen krijgen denk ik! ;o)
Ja, 2 weken is misschien een beetje snel. Dan denk ik dat ik inderdaad alvast ga beginnen met de delen die hetzelfde zijn.
ReplyDeleteCant wait to see the new character!
ReplyDeleteHe's a lot like Captain Redbeard of course, so most parts won't be a problem! ;o)
