The Brothers Brick

Jas Nagra’s latest tank is smooth and shiny:

See the Brickshelf gallery for more pictures, along with all of Jas’ previous tanks.

Justin Vaughn (Mainman) put good use to some brown Brickarms weapons by putting together a muddy vignette of two soldiers wading their way through the thick mush.

I think it’s come up a couple times.

Ralph Savelsberg continues to amaze the world not just with the quality of his creations but the sheer quantity. The kicker is obvious from the picture above. He keeps many of them built!
His latest aircraft include an AH-1W SuperCobra and F-5E Tiger:

US Navy Sea King and HH-1N […]

If you keep an eye on my Flickr ’stream you might have noticed a couple of work-in-progress shots appearing lately. It’s rare that I’ll do more than one but sometimes I like getting advice along the way. Anyway my model of a Rooivalk (”Red Kestrel”) is now done and I’m pretty happy with how it […]

Smells like…creativity!

Joriel “Joz” Jimenez (MOCPages) has been hard at work updating his Flickr photostream lately. I keep bookmarking stuff to blog, and then he posts something even cooler.

With squad after squad of great minifigs, Joz is clearly a man after my own heart. Unlike too many “army builders,” he peppers his multitudes with unique units like […]

At BrickCon in October, I learned about the Halo-inspired weapons and the M1 Garand rifle that Will Chapman of BrickArms was working on at the time (see First look at new BrickArms weapons).
Last week, I received my shipment of new 2008 BrickArms weapons, and I’ve been eagerly building and waiting for a break in […]

Andrew Lee gets in on some RAMM action with this awesome hovertank:

Brian Kescenovitz (mondayn00dle) is one of the few builders who usually doesn’t put much color into their models, sometimes conveying the iron/steel utility. Unlike his bulkier mechs, Brian’s latest work is a spindly scout walker called the Sandpiper, constructed with focus to fine detailing mechanisms rather than heavy armor.

Magnus Lauglo adds some serious hardware to his semi-futuristic military with a pair of Jaguar A1 main battle tanks (above — love the arctic camo!) and Dragon helicopter gunship (below).

Brickarms, the popular provider of quality custom minifig guns has recently released new designs available for purchase.

In addition:
-New weapons are available in silver.
-The BrickArms Medkit is also available
-Check out new BrickArms t-shirts

The diversly talented Shannon Young builds whatever he wants, gets whatever he wants, and certainly destroys whatever he wants. This is Shannon’s demonstration of his power, to put a random nameless city to rubbles. He quotes Machiavelli that “whoever conquers a free town and does not demolish it commits a great error and may expect […]

Tyler (Legohaulic) constructed an accurate model of the UH-60 Black Hawk. This is the first time Tyler produced a work based on a model in real life in a few years, but the result looks like he’s been rendering models in LEGO for his life.

From barbed wire, constant explosions, mud, rats, and blood, Harrison captures the brutality of trench warfare in World War II.
The combination of brown, tan, and dark green works very well to denote a denuded landscape:

I wish I had a weapon with all these bells and whistles…
Update (April 2): April Fools!

Jarek’s Swiss forces now has a powerful ground vehicle in its military dispersal called the Jormangund battle tank. The construction of this model is so articulate, as is Jarek’s style in general. The tank accomodates two minifig operators.

Ralph Savelsberg (Flickr) may live somewhere in southern England, but that doesn’t mean he can’t join us on the highway to a KOA hookup somewhere south of Yosemite — at least in spirit.
Check out his Ford F-150 pickup and Winnebago RV:

Don’t miss the bike rack and lots of other great details in Ralph’s Wheels photoset.

Ralph Savelsberg (Flickr) makes amazing airplanes, to be sure, but I also love his wheeled vehicles.
His latest car is a 1946 Mercury “Woody.” Perfect for that trip to the beach you’ve been planning for the first day of summer.

Here’s a bonus creation for all of you pining for a new airplane from Ralph — […]
