|
|
Two great versions of the WWII Japanese warplane posted on brickshelf on the same day--hurray! I've been wanting to build one of these to dogfight with my P-61--now I have two great inspirations. Check these out: Zhod's version is based on Mattias (...) (20 years ago, 10-Jun-04, to lugnet.build.military, lugnet.adventurers, FTX)

(...) I'm looking forward to seeing the MK2 etc. (...) I definitely wouldn't want to deface or use stickers with my minifigs either. I don't disagree with others making their own sticker designs etc and I have seen some great designs and some great (...) (20 years ago, 9-Jun-04, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.build.military, FTX)

(...) Thanks. I'm currently working on a Mk. 2 version of the 25lb field gun, with the gun having a mounting that looks closer to what the WW2 ones had. I am also trying to get the traversal wheel to retract for transport. At present the wheel gets (...) (20 years ago, 9-Jun-04, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.build.military, FTX)

(...) Joey, This is cool, there are so many strange planes out there that were only made in ones and twos, it's nice to see them made in Lego. Thanks, George (20 years ago, 8-Jun-04, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)

Hi Benjamin I like the barracks building and the 25lb Field gun. Your models could be really improved with better pictures if you have that possibility. It takes some real creativity to create 'modern' armies that don't look like Johnny Thunder (...) (20 years ago, 8-Jun-04, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.build.military, FTX)

Hi Joey I was waiting for you to post something about your latest MOC. Otherwise I would have had to highlight it again! ;) It is brilliant! Fantastic detail and proportions, and your signature means of assembly: (URL) You have GOT to keep these (...) (20 years ago, 7-Jun-04, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)

| | Convair XFY-1 "Pogo"
|
|
Chris Paton's terrific Prototype Hunters series inspired me to build my own historic aviation one-off--the 1950's Convair XFY-1 "Pogo" plane. This unique craft was the first VTOL aircraft to successfully fly in the history of aviation. Powered by (...) (20 years ago, 7-Jun-04, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)

G'day all, I've finally got some piccies together, and thought I'd try and get some input from other Lugnet-ers about what I've built (It's not all that much), and any ideas that could be used to improve the models. Although there's not too many (...) (20 years ago, 31-May-04, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.build.military, FTX)

(...) Looks awesome, as all your MOC's One tip: the original rotor blades seem to be longer. Perhaps a Technic 3-blade rotor with some 1*8 tiles would do the trick. Other than that again you managed to capture the feel of the real machine judging by (...) (20 years ago, 30-May-04, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.build.military)

| | Focke-Wulf Fw-61
|
|
It has been a "mid-exam" productive weekend and the result is my version of the Focke Wulfe Autogyro Fw61. Like my earlier Kolibri I was hoping for a "as-near-as-damnit" representation. I am quite pleased with the result but, as always, welcome (...) (20 years ago, 30-May-04, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.build.military)

| | Dornier Do 335 Pfeil
|

What happens when you spend less time on detail and more time on fun? Well, a stunted Pfeil for one thing! I was going for a Dornier Do 335 Pfeil (Arrow) and I ended up with what looks more like a boxy Republic Thunderbolt. Oh, well. Maybe a (...)

(...) Hey Soren, I really like the APC, but that probe...when I first saw it I didn't think that much of it, but it has some kind of formal color/form composition that keeps me coming back and falling more and more in love with it. Very cool colors (...) (20 years ago, 22-May-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.military, FTX)

Just want to announce that the Chinese Super-Tank that I've been working on is nearing completion. Im basing the MOC on a pic I found in a Chinese military forum. Janes.com has also made mention of this super-tank around last year. It is said that (...) (20 years ago, 21-May-04, to lugnet.build.military, lugnet.build, lugnet.gaming, lugnet.town)
