The M113 has always been one of my favourite APC's..pretty much one of the most widly used around the world even now..On the right we have the standard M113 with new BA M2..on the left theres the upgraded M113 AIFV "Gavin" ..we can all see where they were going with this design..lots more armor..addition of a turret with Cannon..firing ports even! There are a few varients even within the AIFV type but i prefer this one..got a few more UN projects on the way! ..and yes you called it jeff bud..the tops are interchangeable and fits 6 crew inside with separate storage for weapons and gear..some call the Gavin a YBR in Holland(Thanks Ralphy)..or ACF in turkey..other countries have symbols i don t even know what they mean..its used that much around the world.
just saw the Black Mass trailer and it looks soooo BADASS!!! love howtthe Johnny Depp looks in this movie so I decided to make a quick custom :)
I am working on the Building instructions of my last MOCs and am trying to make It more professionnal for a project with @elevenbricks11 (Stay tuned for that! 😉). I change my software. I will use Stud.io so I try different things as the Render FUNCTION!

Just messing around and thought id show a shot of the willy in the LVT, so as I said in the jeep pic it is still same length as before but just looks longer due to hood changes mainly, so it still fits the LVT.
Been a while since I got the LVT out, I think amphibious warfare vehicles/models are some of my all time favourites type of military vehicles along with armoured personnel carriers, so the LVT is naturally one of my favourites as it combines both. I still don't see these made as much as say the Sherman but that's a good thing IMO as too many can become boring. I think this is the first time I've shown some of my CB Marines on the LVT, really cool figs imo.
Terrible pic again, i got a cold still so better then nothing!
My collection of modern military run arounds ; )
Massive thanks to all the Military service personnel and Health care workers who were at work today..your not forgotten.
Once again hope you've had a Merry Christmas.
The planet Mimban possesses deep hyperbaride mineral deposits making it a strategic location to own.
The 224th Imperial Armored Division was deployed on Mimban to subjugate the Mimbanese and ensure Imperial energy mining operations continued unabated.
The battle conditions were terrible: the ionized atmosphere prevented air support most of the time, the surface was muddy and sliding so it was really hard to progress, the Mimbanese had the unsettling ability to disappear in the mud and murk of their homeworld...
Because of that the Empire quickly realized that it wouldn't be easy to defeat and dominate the Mimbanese so they decided to use the trench warfare strategy to defend their own position strongly…
Imperial gunners were operating Howitzer to fire high explosive shells and smash enemy guns and critical positions. The Empire army used as well lines of barbed wire to slow down and entangle attacking infantry while shooting them with E-web repeating blasters, protected within their bunkers making it very difficult for the Mimbanese to get any success!
Despite all those defenses Mimbanese were attacking the Empire positions!
Their trench raids aimed at forcing temporary entry into the enemy’s line in order to destroy fortification and artillery. The Mimbanese attackers were wearing camouflaged uniforms in order to get as close as possible without being seen in order to cross the worst place to be: the area between opposing trench lines known as “no man’s land”.
Attacks, even if successful, often sustained severe casualties because of being fully exposed to gun fire from both sides.
So even if the Mimbanese were very brave, they seem to be fighting a losing battle…
（〃￣∇￣） Second Starwars build of the year! This was a nice little build to do after BFVA 2022, thanks in small part to the brown tooth element being very inspirational!

Thought I'd try another Afrika Korps captured vehicle then I just decided to modify this older model. Will take a better pic later when its dark outside. The 75mm defo packs a punch for sure and yeah I doubt they fired this one while driving lol ; )
I added the flag as i saw a pic of one on a DAK Captured Tank, kinda fitting imo as they did have to use what they had and take over equipment and vehicles just like Pirates of the desert! and here is a perfect example, I also note that the skull and bones symbol was used by many German units and armed forces around the world so adding it from multiple references.
Help from Todd as always, Thanks bud
Another variant of the RSO, I keep trying to snap this one outside but weather just keeps changing so this will have to do for now, my pics have just been terrible lately, the ones of figs outdoors have come out quite nice IMO, the ones of vehicles not so much both in studio style or just with natural light and background, when I get more time I will work on it ; )
Another Incom design seen after the Yuuzhan Vong War. It was the choice starfighter of Rogue Squadron.
I have completely re done this model from scratch and lost a lot of extra parts not needed and made it shorter in height yet tougher, also made particular areas different like the wheel mud guards that are a different shape then the older D&1/2's. In Old Dark Grey none of this is easy when nobody else has done it that i have seen. Got a little Jeff Churill sticker in the side too, and the "Beat up" Star on the front is an Archer decal, I really like it this way, looks battle worn. The Name "ACE" on the side comes from a real life Gun Truck as most had names. I think it fits the truck well given the "Ace of Spades" Death card Nam thing, also goes well with the helmet on the fig. The whole rear clips on and off to have different configurations on the back if wanted for say troop transporter or the Gun truck that uses the M113 top, which seeing as my M113's top does come off in one piece it can clip onto the rear of the truck very easy, I'm sure i will show that at some point. Found another usage for a BA Barrel too ; )
Most later Nam Gun Trucks were painted Black and had a yellow nose but the early ones were Olive and i can say there are many that were left Olive still, and being that i prefer to build in ODG which is as close to Olive drab as you can get IMO and makes for more challenges for me, i went with ODG, just thought i would mention that before somebody jumps on the "They were ALL black".
Bit of info
On September 2, 1967, a particularly devastating attack killed seven drivers, wounded 17 and destroyed or damaged 30 trucks. To remedy the obvious vulnerability of the supply convoys, a "hardened convoy" concept was implemented, protected by a new type of security vehicle. This gun truck, as it became known, was based on the two-and-a-half-ton cargo truck, protected by a barrier of sandbags, and armed with two M60 machine guns. Hardened convoys were smaller than previously, being composed of only 100 trucks, and their security detail was increased until there was one gun truck for every 10 transport trucks.
In the event of an ambush, their role was to drive into the kill zone during the first few minutes of the attack, and saturate the attackers with their firepower. Early designs proved flawed, as the sandbag protections quickly became waterlogged in the frequent rains, weighing down the whole vehicle. They were later replaced with ad hoc steel armor plating, salvaged from scrap yards. The crew consisted of a driver, two gunners, a non-commissioned officer in charge (NCOIC), and sometimes a grenadier armed with an M79 grenade launcher. In October 1968, the factory-made hardening kits arrived to replace the sandbag and wood gun trucks
Messed around with most of my ODG models changing bits of tech around..added the new BA M2HB and i think it fits great! Always good when you can have a steering wheel..if you can..im very lucky to drive past an M3/M2/DUKW most mornings..all fully restored so the M3 has always been a fav WW2 vehicle. feel free to add me to pics..i know some don t like it..but i don t mind..will help where i can..but don t ask for breakdowns of my work during that..please remember that i may still miss work as i don t have the amount of time i had before on flickr.
Built for the Brickarms "Tremendous Technical" Contest over on the BA Forum.
The Snatch Land Rover has got to be one of my favourite Technicals, the Land Rover originally being only a civilian vehicle used on farms mainly, was never designed to take the role an APC should be doing, however costs meant it was pushed into military service as far more then just a troop transporter but as a fast reaction Technical used to get in and give the bad guys hell! Sadly it was used in many instances as a general patrol vehicle which it was never designed to be as it's not armoured enough. However when used as a Technical it performed very well and there are several versions.
The Brickarms parts usage is as follows(I'm sure I will forget a few)
3 BA MCH Helmets..the Snatch fits 4 figs
Spare tyre held on by a BA monopod
Front bumper features the BA Minigun Handle on the top corners
Two frontal aerials on the hood are BA Minigun end caps
The snorkel in right side is a BA under barrel grenade launcher
The windshield is held in place by a BA Monopod and the snorkel and aerial are held into the windshield by 4 BA U-clips
The aerials on the roof are connected to the roof by a BA 50cal tripod piece
One aerial itself is a BA 50cal firing pin
The gun is a BA LMG..one of my first weapons ; )
The side camouflage netting is made up by using BA U-clips connected together and connected to the vehicle with BA monopods. 96 U-clips used..can't say I've seen camo netting done like this..the actual tech is what the clips were designed to do so credit to Will on a great design..not sure why some people like to take credit for putting them together..you know given that's what they are supposed to do..just odd
Lots of NPU for these great BA parts!
Maybe time for a rest as it's quiet

Project Thunderbird (2071 – 2085)
Developed by Ætheon (a high-profile "private military company"/"PMC"), Project Thunderbird was the first successful of instance of “jet trooper” (colloquially known as “jetters”) being deployed into combat. Using cybernetically enhanced pilots (most of which were former US Air Force and Marines), the company was able to find work in conflict zones all over the world.
All jet suits contained an exoskeleton, joy stick controls, and numerous intakes and jets that could be adjusted in real-time for maximum maneuverability. Jet suits varied wildly according the pilot’s rank and personal preferences. Though the suit’s weaponry varied between pilots, the most popular weapons were twin rapid-fire plasma cannons and two pairs of missile launchers.
The most famous Jetter was Ariel Vazquez. Joining the program in 2072 at the age of 25, she displayed immense prowess with the suit and made headlines for her heroics in the Long Beach Excursion (2073), in which [REDACTED] surfaced off the coast of Long Beach, California and attacked the water front. Were it not for the timely intervention of the “Jetters”, the [REDACTED] would’ve wreaked untold destruction on the city proper. Vazquez would also participate in the Battle of Bend (2079), in which the nation states of Cascadia and Greater Idaho fought for control of a newly-discovered (and incredibly valuable) lithium deposit on the outskirts of Bend, Oregon. Being a PMC, Ætheon sided with the highest bidder (in this case, Greater Idaho) and wreaked massive casualties on the Cascadian military with their superior airpower.
Though effective, Project Thunderbird’s heavy and unwieldly jet suits would ultimately be phased out as the technology improved became more compact. However, it would leave a lasting impact on military combat (even going into the intergalactic age centuries later), with similar technology being deployed by the Royal Cobalt Space Navy (RCSN) via their “Gunzerker” program.

My custom Lego minifigure of ️Darth Talon - a female Lethan Twi'lek who become a Sith Lady. From The Star Wars: Legacy comic series.
Her Lekku is wholy made by myself! I don't use Lego one or any molds. I modeled it in plasticine which dries on the air Paulinda. Painted by Citadel and Game Color acrylic paints. Skirt is made from faux leather. Also used a chest from Ninjago, but don't really like it( A little later I'l make some photos without it)
So, I got inspired to make a Batman fig after seeing Gab's Joker. Seriously, I'm not even joking, my first non military figure. I made a batman custom, of course It would be Deathstroke, he's a friggin one-eyed ninja badass who uses a katana. I re-designed him based off his looks in the latest Arkham Knight game, which is a must play I must add.
The figure is pretty basic, with a sculpted body and a TLG Katana painted up. The back has a sculpted sheath for the katana, but it does'nt raelly work.
The colour scheme I changed a bit, making it more red than orange. And I added the 2 splinter-cell looking goggles into his mask. The left arm I changed a normal shoulder pad to a feudal-japan styled shoulder pad, cuz it looked cool.
A sneak peak on my next figure would probably come up pretty soon and I have a COD scene to upload soon too.

Let me introduce Commander Pixel.
After a rough day on Endor he survived wounded from fights with rebel scum. Many of his comrades have fallen or been wounded. But he did not let anyone escape.

This is my first ever custom Lego Minifig i've done. I've made the shoulder Pad, the headtorch and the back parts with fimo and paint the fig with some acrylic paint.
[https://www.flickr.com/photos/137947086@N04] inspired me to make the custom display stand for the minifig. Thanks for that :D
I’ve received a digital badge of scorpion in the game. But I like real badges, so decided to make my own.
The wooden version of Scorpion ‘s badge, painted by acrylic.
This was someone I've wanted to make for a while, I didn't think Lego would make variants of some of the characters, so I decided to do one of course. This might be the only variant based off an existing Overwatch minifigure for a while though. I got his head and hair from Bricklink and modified them, I decided to give him goggles that stick out like TLBM Robin, I don't remember who came up with that electric wheel piece, but I think it works pretty well. One of my faves to make.
Building something using only pieces from the Pick-a-Brick wall at your local LEGO Store can be fun, but building something that looks good is quite difficult. The limited palette of basic bricks, plates, very few SNOT pieces, and almost no slopes or wedges made this a challenge.
I'm just happy the Pick-a-Brick wall always has a few really useful pieces for advanced building, such as plates with clips which made the tail, fins, and mouth able to move.
I've been getting a lot of questions lately about paints and painting techniques, so I'm putting together a few of the most common questions and tips in a single post.
This is not intended to be a "Painting Guide" (I'll leave that sort of thing to the pros!), but rather just used to answer a few basic questions. Hopefully as others add comments and questions to this thread, it will develop even more.
Q&A:
What paints do you use?
Acrylics only, no enamels. Acrylics are water-soluable, so they mix and wash-up easily. There are a LOT of different paints on the market and no single brand will be favored by everyone. I actually use a variety of brands, depending on what I'm doing, certain color needs, etc.
On the more expensive side:
Citadel, P3, Vallejo
Cheaper brands:
Folkart, Americana, Apple Barrel
Do you thin your paints?
Yes, almost always. The ratio depends on the paint in use (some are thicker than others right out of the jar) and how many coats you want to use. You can thin Acrylics with water. A couple brands also offer acrylic thinner or mixing medium, which is intended to mix even more smoothly. When in doubt, go thin. Nothing will ruin a custom part quicker than thick globs of paint. :)
Do you mix your paints?
Sometimes, but not always. You basically have to finish that part in one sitting, or use a wet palette if you are mixing.
How about primer?
Yes, always.
Citadel Black spray is my favorite for priming (or white if you are working with brighter colors). Some people use brush-on primer, but I use spray whenever possible.
How about sealer?
Yes, always. If you spend this much time working on something, you want it to last. Sealer should be the last thing you do to your custom, painted parts before they are complete. I recommend an acrylic matte finish, but some people use gloss for certain things (it is supposed to protect better). I personally don't want a "shiny" look on finished parts. Another option is to use a gloss coat, allow to dry, then apply a flat coat for "maximum protection without the shine" (sounds like a commercial!), but I usually just stick with flat sealer only.
Any other tips?
Take your time and be patient. A good custom isn't done in 10 minutes. The basic order of operations is primer, paint, wash, detail, more details, highlight, sealer, done!
Have other questions? Feel free to post them here...There are a lot of talented Lego painters here in our community, all of whom have unique insight to offer. Hopefully they will also join the discussion and assist along the way.
Got tips of your own? Post those here as well.
Thanks!

So I saw Joe (tagged) make this guy, and that helped me remember that I used to watch some of this show when I was younger, and by some of it I mean part of one dvd that I never finished watching, and a clip of a scene my cousins were watching, the primary religious show I watched was VeggieTales, which I'm pretty sure a lot of you guys have watched or maybe heard about, but for now I decided to make this guy because I have also found out that he had become more popular in the meme culture. I wanted to modify a Batman Cowl because I really wanted the details of his mask to show, and I think I did a good job on that, I of course also gave him his offbrand lightsaber.
"C'on Detective solve this !!"

The Landing Vehicle Tracked (LVT) was a class of amphibious warfare vehicle, a small amphibious landing craft, introduced by the United States Navy, Marine Corps and Army during World War II. Originally intended solely as cargo carriers for ship to shore operations, they rapidly evolved into assault troop and fire support vehicles as well. The types were all widely known as amphtrack, amtrak, amtrac etc., a portmanteau of amphibious tractor.
The LVT 1 could carry 18 fully equipped men or 4,500 pounds (2,041 kg) of cargo. Originally intended to carry replenishment from ships ashore, they lacked armor protection and their tracks and suspension were unreliable when used on hard terrain. However, the Marines soon recognized the potential of the LVT as an assault vehicle. Armored versions were introduced as well as fire support versions, dubbed Amtanks, which were fitted with turrets from Stuart series light tanks (LVT(A)-1) and Howitzer Motor Carriage M8s (LVT(A)-4). Among other upgrades were a new powerpack, also borrowed from the Stuarts, and a torsilastic suspension which significantly improved performance on land.
Had a few changes here and there..im re shooting some older models at better angles..my stream has already halfed over last few days..most of the older pics are still available on Brickshelf under "Clausewitz" but theres no point keeping them on here.
So I actually had the idea of making him a few years ago after my brother and I watched the 2014 reboot with Nick Fury and corrupt business man, it was a pretty good film, I'm trying to record the Original movies too. one thing I waited for was the armor piece on him because I didn't want to draw all of the detail on some simple body, he is of course based off his appearance from that reboot, except he's the silver version because I wanted to combine the classic version a little (even though that guy is slower than Internet Explorer, don't worry guys this guy is fast!!!), also because I felt like if I did the black version (which I won't lie, actually looks pretty cool), it would look a bit less detailed. Maybe I'll make that version soon but right now I like this version. His gun is basically the closest thing to his actual gun, if you know a piece that would work bettwr let me know please.
My (current) final Bendy character, Bendy's final form in Chapter 5. It was pretty difficult to figure out how to build him, bit I think that this looks pretty awesome, not sure about the legs, but the rest of him is amazing! I painted some of the fingers and claws because I didn't have enough of the black ones, but I still think overall, one of my best builds. I'm trying to get pieces to make more Bendy characters, but just know, Bendy will return...
The third section is depicting the area between opposing trench lines known as “no man’s land”. Attacks, even if successful, often sustained severe casualties because of being fully exposed to gun fire from both sides.
Mimbanese trench raids aimed at forcing temporary entry into the enemy’s line in order to destroy fortification and artillery. The Mimbanese attackers are wearing camouflaged uniforms in order to get as close as possible without being seen.
To counter that, the Empire is using lines of barbed wire to slow down and entangle attacking infantry while shooting them with E-web repeating blasters, protected within their bunkers!
Even if the Mimbanese are very brave, they seem to be fighting a loosing battle…
This is the final section I will be making, I hope you like it, any shares and feedback will be really appreciated! Let me know if you would like to see the three section combined!
