My first build in two years!
For my hobby-time, I have been concentrating on my travel and landscape photography, but with Brickfair Virginia finally taking place after being cancelled last year, I got the Lego bug again. It took seven weeks to produce this 112 x 48 studs x 18 bricks high beast. It has 104 minifigs and is based on a real battle during the Peninsula War, in Portugal near the border with Spain. It did well at Brickfair Virginia, was nominated for Best Battle Scene (but lost to a massive World War II MOC), and I did a Beyond the Brick interview for it. This build is 100% Lego.
THE HISTORY: The Combat of The Côa was a wild running battle that took place on July 24th, 1810, not long after the French had invaded Portugal. The British Expeditionary Force's Light Division, under Major General “Black Bob” Crauford, was deployed separately from the main Allied army across the River Côa in order to support the fortress town of Alameida. The Light Division consisted of approximately 4000 elite soldiers from Britain and Portugal, including the famed 95th Rifles and their hard-fighting Portuguese counterparts, the 1st and 3rd Cazadores ("hunters").
Part I: "Math is Hard" (prior to the events in this build)
The French, under Marshal Michel Ney, were determined to take Alameida, and waited until there was a heavy morning fog to strike. 25,000 French troops came marching out of the fog and surprised the Light Division, but Black Bob ignored the Duke of Wellington’s orders to redeploy across the River Côa and instead tried to hold his position against the French.
The highly-trained Light Division held out until a flanking attack by French Hussars all-but wiped out an entire company of the 95th. Outnumbered 6 to 1, the math caught up with Black Bob and his left flank started to crumble under the pressure. Crauford then finally ordered a retreat across the Côa, and a race to the bridge was accomplished with several counter-charges taking place to slow down the advancing victorious French. Due to their modern tactics, the Light Division made it across the bridge with only 300 casualties, a relatively impressive accomplishment when so badly outnumbered.
Part II: "Quit While You're Ahead" (this build here)
The French had achieved their goal of sweeping the smaller British and Portuguese forces off the field, with few casualties compared to the allies’ 300. They should have quit while ahead, but then Marshal Michel Ney recklessly sent the 66th Régiment de Ligne and the Chasseurs de la Siège to take the bridge. They were attacking in compacted formations against the greatest sharpshooter units of the age, the 95th Rifles and Portuguese Caçadores, along with men from the 43rd and 52nd Regiments of the Light Division. After three courageous assaults and over 500 casualties, the French gave up, and the value of light infantry equipped with rifled muskets became clear to both sides.
Comment: The bagpiper should not be there in the MOC...he's a refugee from my Scots Guards unit :P

Finally finished! this was one tricky build, but I think it came out awesome. the interior is small, but I was able to put in the driver's compartment, some equipment, and an ammo rack. this Wil be in my upcoming MOC.
You ask, what is our policy? I will say: It is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us; to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark and lamentable catalogue of human crime.
The Battle of Budapest was the 50-day-long encirclement by Soviet and Romanian forces of the Hungarian capital of Budapest, near the end of World War II. Part of the broader Budapest Offensive, the siege began when Budapest, defended by Hungarian and German troops, was first encircled on 26 December 1944 by the Red Army and the Romanian Army. During the siege, about 38,000 civilians died through starvation or military action. The city unconditionally surrendered on 13 February 1945. It was a strategic victory for the Allies in their push towards Berlin.
With this build, I tried to be as faithful to the actual terrain and bridge that is there in Portugal. I had to compress the area a bit, you almost always have to with Lego and historical builds, but the terrain itself is accurate. It's very rocky with huge boulders which the real soldiers did hide behind as they took their shots.

Perfect mini figure scale kettenkrad from girls last tour (shoujo shuumatsu ryoukou)
Complete re-design from our previous version. Now it is wider, it has functional doors and plenty of space and easy access to its cabin.
When Johnny comes marching home again
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We'll give him a hearty welcome then
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The men will cheer and the boys will shout
The ladies they will all turn out
And we'll all feel gay
When Johnny comes marching home.
The old church bell will peal with joy
Hurrah! Hurrah!
To welcome home our darling boy,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The village lads and lassies say
With roses they will strew the way,
And we'll all feel gay
When Johnny comes marching home.
Get ready for the Jubilee,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We'll give the hero three times three,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The laurel wreath is ready now
To place upon his loyal brow
And we'll all feel gay
When Johnny comes marching home.
The most difficult part of this build was that angle on the bridge. The actual bridge over the Côa is still there, and has this 30˚ angle over the river that made for quite a challenge. It really wasn't a problem where the angled bridge elements joined back into the left half of the model, but creating the angle itself over the river was a challenge as there's little depth to the bridge at that point. I used hinge plates in a 3-series row supported with tiles to provide some strength to the build. As I had to move this to Brickfair Virginia at the Dulles Expo, and I had to put minifigs on it, there had to be some real support to this area. It all worked out though, no breaks after I got it all together!

Those from Whiskey 1-6 who had made it to the parachute landing zone unscaved proceeded to rendevous before heading into the mountains to flank around the enemy battalions below...
AMV Patria APC version with twin 120mm AMOS self-propelled mortar system. AMOS has automatic ammunition handling and electronic target engagement and firing systems. Full 360-degree field of fire at elevations of −3 to +85 degrees. AMOS is capable of both conventional indirect fire and direct fire for self-protection. When the round is fired, the case exits the breech system automatically. The twin barreled AMOS is able to keep up rate of fire of 12 rounds per minute. Using its computer-controlled MRSI feature (multiple rounds simultaneous impact) it is possible to set up a burst of up to 16 rounds that hit the target simultaneously. Thanks to Simon T James for inspiration!

The Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausführung B Tiger II, scale: 1:24.
Size: 44,1×16,5×15,4 cm
piece count: 2372
Starting production in 1943 the Tiger II was armed with one of the most powerful tank guns of the war, the 8,8cm KwK 43 L/71. Also featured with a great amount of armor for its time, the Tiger II is to this day one of the heaviest tanks of all time with 69 tonnes. Even the modern Leopard 2 A7V weights only ~65 tonnes, making the Tiger II even heavier but because of lack of modern composit armor, why less protected.
The heavy weight was also its biggest problem. Using the same Maybach HL230 engine with 700 HP, the Tiger II was a very slow vehicle having ptoblems in difficult terrain.
When the men ran dry of ammunition, they used their blades...and when the blades ran dull, they used their hands...
We fight in the shadows, to protect the light...
This AWESOME figure comes from Minifigures.com. I was lucky enough to pick it up at Brick London.

The 10.5cm gun can be oriented in all directions, thanks to the bionicle parts.
Well, i placed an order for some minifigures about a week ago, as i needed some that would look good for the late war MOC im currently building (pictures to be posted soon). I ordered 11 figs, the 11th being the General minifig. I really liked how they look, and cant wait to add them into my MOC!
Reinforcements finally arrived at Dusk, after a long day of fighting. We had suffered casualties - and the once great West Side of the city had suffered irreversible damage, with many great buildings damaged. Our UN Taskforce was stretched - desperately waiting for some kind of support.
Heavily inspired by Christian's new post - check him out in the tagged section!

-SideSaddle Shotshell Carrier
-Shotgun Shells in a variety of colors - red will be the first and we are looking at possibly making blue, green, yellow, mil spec OD…
Let us know your favourite color of shells, so we can try and release these colors first. Also looking to possibly make a premium shell version either with painted brass ends or over molded... that is if we get enough interest.
(parts fit both BrickArms and Si-Dan tactical shotguns)
Its ___dark.lego___ from Instagram I thought that I would give flickr a try so I'm new, probably gonna mess up on a lot
I’ve updated both models significantly, most notably stickers on both models. Several aspects of the Seahorse are taken from both maks and Ralph Savelsberg, and the huey is directly inspired by Project Azazel’s amazing huey
