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 in dark gray but not in tan so therefore I made in multicoloured version instead. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=31055 The model half-track SdKfz 251 is based of an innovative design by Sasaki Nobuyuki. http://homepage1.nifty.com/sasapon/lego_s251.html The little armoured car SdKfz 222 is a design of my own Both vehicles have modelled in a slightly larger scale by Shaun Sullivan earlier. On his pages there are also a number of reference pictures. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=377 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=275 My friend Dan Gieselsson have kindly taken the photos with his new digital camera. I wish I had one also. Please let me know what you think Regards from a white and cold Goteborg, Sweden Mattias

(...) <snip> Mattias, I have heard people at my local Wal-Mart comment that 'they couldn't build military vehicles from LEGO®, so they bought megabloks instead'.

Beautiful! Great SNOT work on the half track. The camoflaged version is especially cool. My favorite build detail is the use of the bottom half of a 1x2 hinge on the armored car. I'd never thought to use that element. Bruce (22 years ago, 9-Jan-03, to lugnet.build.military)
