The Battle of Hagelberg is also known as “The Battle of the (Musket)Butts”. That’s because it rained all day, the powder was wet and muskets and pistols were of no good use, other than to be used as clubs. Aalak grew up close to the former battlefield so it’s a wise choice for him; he probably knows a lot about this battle. He did a great job with many minifigs with custom-made decals and he very clearly shows us the chaos in big battles like this.

Austerlitz, 1805. Austrian an Russian soldiers are on the Pratzen heights. They can’t see much through the fog. Suddenly the fog disappears and they see a giant French army! But it’s too late already and Napoleon wins this part of the battle.
This is the scene michaelozzie has made with Lego. The soldiers are made with the smallest details and there is a lot of smoke and action in it. It looks very realistic, there’s even a soldier who’s leg is shot off! This is again an entry you can’t miss!

Eurobricks member Burman has made a fantastic MOC of a battle in the Crimean War. There is a lot of action going on in this creation so it’s definetely not boring! The images are of a very fine quality and it’s exciting to follow a few soldiers through a hole in the rocks on to the big fight. You should really take a look at this MOC if you want to vote in the contest.
So check out the Siege of Sevastopol by Burman in the forum!

Look at those lovely windows!
EB-member Kerntechniker has made a lovely building. It’s the house of a naval admiral with a big anchor in front of it. The windows are made in a very nice way and you should also take a look at the magnificent interior (on the bottom of page 1). Overall this is a good way of making an 18th century residence and it also provides lots of ideas to other MOC’ers.

Updated HMS Leopard!
Captain K. had been updating his splendid vessel the HMS Leopard, for the better! A powerful looking ship is the result, still on the prefab ship hulls! You don’t see much 60 gun ships on them. With a nice rigging this ship is surely worth to take a look at!
