Dave, (...) Thanks for your kind words. Interiors on any minifig-scale vehicle are tricky. because as soon as you want to fit minifigs inside, you start wrestling with all sorts of scaling issues. Ultimately I go for a compromise between aesthetics, (...) (18 years ago, 27-Nov-06, to lugnet.build.military)

Also, the presentation is good and gives a nice view of the the vehicles from all sides. I also like that you (...) (18 years ago, 27-Nov-06, to lugnet.build.military)

Greetings all, Here are a few more military vehicles I've built recently. The Raider and Invader light armored vehicles rely on their size, low profile, and speed to keep their crew safe - their armor will defeat small arms and shrapnel, but offers (...)

Aircraft are difficult to taxonomize on LUGNET. This isn't a military plane, but military fans will recognize the "gooney bird" - the military's version of the DC-3 - so I included that. I decided to post it mainly under Technic because of the (...)

(...) Sort of. Howitzers were developed to fire at high angles, but were generally transported with the cannon horizontal. Nowadays, the word "howitzer" seems to be used for just about any cannon-like artillery. ROSCO (18 years ago, 12-Oct-06, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)

(...) This is the best home-brewed cannon I've seen so far. It's quite perfect and still simple, very much to my taste. I would love you to do a diorama around this. I do have a question however, isn't a howitzer some form of mortar? In the game Age (...) (18 years ago, 11-Oct-06, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)

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)

(...) 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)
