  Re: F/A-18 Hornet
 
(...) Thanks for the comments. The camouflage obscures the shape somewhat. Of course, in real life that's part of the point of having camouflage, but it doesn't help with my MOC. It is not unlikely that in the future I will change the colour scheme (...) (18 years ago, 3-Oct-06, to lugnet.build.military)
 
  Re: F/A-18 Hornet
 
Sweet! Although, I'm a fan of the overall-grey scheme used on fleet aircraft. You really captured the shape, and it's more obvious in the pic next to the F-16. (18 years ago, 3-Oct-06, to lugnet.build.military)
 
  Spirit of 76
 
I've been reading a lot of American Revolutionary War history lately, and in a small burst of patriotism, I built this small vignette based on the painting of the same name by Archibald McNeal Willard.

  F/A-18 Hornet
 
Yesterday I completed my lastest military MOC, an F/A-18A Hornet. It's on brickshelf: (URL) on MOCpages: (URL) colour scheme might take some getting used to, but it isn't all that different from the real aircraft. Anyway, please let me know what you (...)

  Re: 18th Century Howitzer
 
(...) It's three-wide (four with the wheels). I don't remember how big the Lego cannon is but it's probably a bit bigger. I might work on a smaller version but it's a bit difficult working out what to do for wheels. Tim (18 years ago, 1-Oct-06, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)
 
  Re: 18th Century Howitzer
 
(...) Very cool! How close in size is it to the standard Lego cannon? -Elroy (18 years ago, 1-Oct-06, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)
 
  Re: 18th Century Howitzer
 
(...) Hi again, I decided to take your idea and make a ships version. I have no idea how authentic it is. (URL) Tim (18 years ago, 1-Oct-06, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)
 
  Re: 18th Century Howitzer
 
Great work! I posted this over on EB so all the pirate fanatics there can see it. Nice to see a such a 'simple' design. God Bless, Nathan Visit my brickshelf gallery: (URL) (pic=link) (18 years ago, 1-Oct-06, to lugnet.build.military, lugnet.pirates, FTX)

  Re: 18th Century Howitzer
 
(...) Hi Elroy, This is an excellent cannon. I love simple but effective designs and this one rates highly. Reminds me of some of JoJo's furniture designs. You can build them out of your pieces, but you'd never think of hem. Tim (18 years ago, 30-Sep-06, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)
 
  18th Century Howitzer
 
I was playing around with guns for an American Revolutionary War project that I'm working on when I came up with this. I thought I'd share, since cannon designs seem to be in short supply. (URL) Ideally the gun carriage should all be brown, but I (...) (18 years ago, 30-Sep-06, to lugnet.build.military, lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.pirates, FTX) !! 
 
  Re: *Almost* full-size submachine gun
 
(...) Very neat indeed, exactly how I would think a mini version of the AR15 would look, nice to see one of my all time fav's minified :). Kind of reminds me of the 5.56 Colt Commando. (URL) (18 years ago, 29-Sep-06, to lugnet.build.military)
 
  *Almost* full-size submachine gun
 
I saw a bunch of life-size guns popping up on brickshelf recently, and decided to give it a try... (URL) actually started out as Han Solo's blaster, but along the way i thought i'd try something bigger and went for one of my favorites, the AR15 As i (...)

  Re: T-104 in Tundra Camo
 
Very nice! I don't think I would even attempt that colour scheme, and you pulled it off wonderfully! The model itself is also beautifully crafted. Keep up the good work. God Bless, Nathan Visit my brickshelf gallery: (URL) (pic=link) (18 years ago, 25-Sep-06, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)
 
  Re: More armored vehicles
 
(...) Thanks Tim, I do like to have space inside the vehicles for the figs. The downside is that it makes them all a little too big scalewise. Building military vehicles for me has been all about balancing scale, aesthetics and functionality. (...) (...) (18 years ago, 23-Sep-06, to lugnet.build.military)
 
  Re: More armored vehicles
 
Hi Magnus, I love how you manage to get ample space for your figs in these models. It's a really nice touch in such detailed models. They're all great models without it and it just adds that extra touch. I might steal your idea of using the new 4x4 (...) (18 years ago, 22-Sep-06, to lugnet.build.military)
 
  More armored vehicles
 
Hi all, I'm gradually getting around to up loading pictures of military vehciles I've been building over the past year or so. Here is the most recent batch. I built the Conqueror Main Battle Tank almost a year ago now. It has suspension on its (...) (18 years ago, 22-Sep-06, to lugnet.build.military, lugnet.announce.moc) ! 
 
  Re: T-104 in Tundra Camo
 
Tim, I'm always happy to see other builders venturing into the military theme. Very nice work, indeed. I like how you made the turret look a little rounded through the use of different slopes and wedges. Nice to see a tank done in arctic/mountain (...)

(...) Thanks (...) Excellent. Just the response I want :) Tim (18 years ago, 21-Sep-06, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)
 
  Re: T-104 in Tundra Camo
 
Very nice, Tim. The color scheme and the nice use of low slopes in the turret give it the perfect "future feel". The renderings are superb as well. The shading evoked an emotional "Anime!" response from me for some reason. ---Will (18 years ago, 21-Sep-06, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)
