I’ve been talking with some friends lately about building a joint post-apocalyptic diorama. I started thinking about various factions that could do battle in the wastelands, and came up with several ideas. One was the Iron Mountain Legion.
The Iron Mountain Legion is intended to be the remnants or descendants of an elite military [...]
The year: 1953. The US and Soviet space programs are in full swing, and a war rages for control of earth’s only natural satellite, the moon. Shannon Ocean has the full story.
See many, many more awesome Battle for the Moon creations by Shannon on MOCpages.
This rusty grenade by Victor Vitale is da bomb. No, really, it is! The color scheme really works well and using a keychain ring is very clever. My question is whether a rusty grenade more or less safe than a new shiny one?
Ciamoslaw Ciamek gets a head start on commemorations for the 70th anniversary of the September Campaign (the invasion of Poland by both Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union) with a Polish PZL P.11c fighter.
The PZL P.11.c has the distinction of being the first Allied plane to shoot down Axis aircraft during World War II. Unfortunately, [...]
It would appear that both Ralph Savelsberg and I have been busy building aeroplanes this weekend. I assure our loyal readers that this was a total coincidence and not a cunning ploy on my behalf to cut down on the number of blog posts.
Ralph has added to his military collection with a BAE Sea [...]
Larry Lars has been on a bit of an Aliens kick lately.
His Colonial Marines APC is the latest in a long tradition of LEGO creations inspired by this awesome vehicle, but Larry’s version has some excellent turrets and sweet angles.
The Power Loader looks ready to take on the alien queen.
It might not be enough on its own to challenge the massive air superiority of her husband, but Mrs. Monster has built her first airplane.
This jet is based on the Royal Air Force Red Arrows. I love the angled vertical stabilizer.
Flickr newcomer mad_a0 recently exploded onto the scene with this awesomely detailed minifig-scale tank.
Very cool, certainly, but what sets this tank apart is that mad_a0 has built a fully detailed interior. Most LEGO tanks are lucky to fit a minifig driver, much less components like a removable engine.
The exploded view itself is a study in [...]
Carter Baldwin presents a jungle ambush scene involving the attack by two suited mechas on a tank. The action is well defined and the jungle ruins atmosphere is no short of exotic.
We generally don’t blog two planes by the same builder two days apart, but this Spitfire by Ed Diment (Lego Monster) is too gorgeous to pass up.
The plane has a three-stud-wide fuselage, great camouflage, and a beautiful profile.
With the second LEGO Military Contest wrapping up tomorrow, it seems that it’s a week for planes.
Motor.On’s entry is the Douglas C-47 Dakota transport, used by Allied forces during World War II and the Berlin Airlift.
It seems to be a day for airplanes! This gorgeous B-25 Mitchell, by Dan Siskind, is a great one. Besides the plethora of dark green, the details on this lady are spot on.
Justin Vaughn has posted a stunning rendition of the E-3 Sentry AWACS. Great looking creation and excellent presentation. I also like that the radome actually rotates.
David Luna took the honors in BrickMania’s Custom Brick Community Building Contest with this WWII battle scene. He packed quite a bit of action in there!
Ralph Savelsberg gets ready to put the hurt on with this gorgeous rendition of the M1A1 Abrams. Can I use the word ‘gorgeous’ to describe a tank? I think so…
Warpath would have been blogged just because it transforms with splitting track. The fact that Alex Schranz (Orion Pax) has made a beautiful model is the icing, cherry and other delicious foodstuffs on the cake.
Tyler Clites has built the space marine light assault vehicles (SMLAV) inspired by the Warthog from Halo. By popular demand, Tyler created a set of quality instructions available for purchase at a very reasonable price of $5. Having built the SMLAV from his instructions, I can say that parts for the model are easy to [...]
Ralph Savelsberg (Mad physicist) proves once again that he’s one of the best LEGO aircraft builders with this B-26 “Marauder” bomber from World War II.
An entry for the second LEGO Military contest on Flickr, and has working landing gear and bomb bay doors.
I also realized recently that we’ve never properly blogged Ralph’s minifig-scale vehicles, so [...]
