Hi all Happy new Lego year to you. I have opened 2003 with some new models of German WWII vehicles. The half-track SdKfz 251 and the armoured car SdKfz 222. I have been experimenting a little with different colours. Nowadays most parts are available (...) (22 years ago, 8-Jan-03, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.build.military, lugnet.loc.se) !!

(...) Hey Ryan, welcome to the board. You've got a very nice model there. I'm really getting an F/A-22 meets F/A-18 vibe off of it but that's probably intentional on your part. Your use of the slope parts really help to give your model a "blended" (...) (22 years ago, 5-Jan-03, to lugnet.build.military)

Wow. Very nice tank. I'm curious to what "snow camo" looks like. Is it just all white or a mix of white and light gray? I'm really interested in seeing more of your MOCs. Are you sticking with ground vehicles or going to do a mix of air/land/sea? I (...) (22 years ago, 5-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.military)
