Hello, I'm back with a new building, I tried out the light a bit and this time I took the photo outside, luckily for me it was windy haha ​​:) I had also ordered a new part for the soldiers standing on the moc. The inspiration comes from MW2 and I will try to build a second part to it. See you soon guys.
Hello guys new building from me
It took a week to finish
hopefully I can get another one soon
thanks for stoping by me.
Just some random mix of modern warfare models I've built a while back, thinking of turning the Raptor back into the version with rear open trailer so it looks more like a Technical..but not for a while.
Medium-sized four-legged drones - gundogs - are the most popular type of land UVs out there. Even though they usually more akin to deer in size the name "gundog" stuck. There are countless models for every task possible.
This heavier gundog is equipped with a 30-mm cannon, but instead of direct fire support for troops this one is a hunter.
It either hunts alone or as a part of spec-ops squads, hiding in the rubble, waiting for a perfect moment to strike. It takes out enemy equipment, light vehicles, exosuits and other heavy troops.

Yet another "tablescrap".
Custom parts modeled after Sluban used.
Crab is a superior form not only in nature: turns out it is efficient in combat as well.
Callinectes, nicknamed "siege crab" by NMC personnel, is heavy-armored all-terrain walker with two main purposes.
First - to clear the way of rubble for advancing troops, dig trenches and make other defensive structures.
Second - to provide those troops with artillery fire with its 155mm howitzer.
Six main legs provide substantial mobility to Callinectes on difficult terrain.
Two giant manipulators resembling crab claws not only can lift, cut and tear heavy debris, but also act as movable shields for covering the chassis - or personnel on the ground.
Two hands at the back are used to dig and plow, above them are separate set of optic and other sensors. That makes moving back almost equivalent to moving forward for Callinectes.
Other than heavy armor the Siege crab has only one machine gun turret and active defense systems - it mostly relies on ground troops and light vehicles for protecting it in close combat.

Heard about carcinisation? I bet you did. Time for Crab is all about it.
I pretty much thought about making something like this since the first time I saw this event. This time I take part in it myself. Enjoy!
Also it is sort of a spiritual successor to Mudcrab - chech that out if you haven't.
Length: 232 m
Width: 151 m
Height: 116 m
Although the word "littoral" doesn't mean anything in regards to space and this ship ain't even a cruiser - "Capax" is quite a capable little fella.
It should be classified as a frigate based on its' size, but the marketing team decided that selling a "cruiser" to small home-defence forces and corpos would make it more desirable. And the word "littoral" sounds better than "short range".
Even with the mislead it was a good ship for its' designated role: system defense. It has decent sublight speed, formidable weaponry and a small protected hangar to house a fighter squadron.
It performs well both on its own - for small tasks like pirate/smuggler hunting - and as a part of a fleet. But in one-on-one combat against a similar sized frigate it can fall behind: it lacks a punch in heavy weaponry. But it is very effective against groups of smaller vessels - like corvettes, pickets and starfighters.
It was developed during the Insectoid War for corporations and far-off systems to defend themselves - and although it was no hero of major battles it was important for holding The Federation together behind the frontlines.
The Federation Navy wasn't really interested in Capax class - they had their own ships, but interestingly the Army ended up using a lot of these. They didn't need long range to protect military installations but they absolutely required the versatility.
Capax class became so popular that it still produced to this day - long after the Insectoid Wars ended.

Just a nice small ship for you to enjoy. I used some custom parts here - all modeled after Sluban sets. Why doesn't Lego have them - is a mystery to me.
I’ve had this jeep based off of Andrew Somers’/ Chris Cowgill’s design built for almost a year but only just got around to adding rear suspension, rounding off the rear mud guards and optimizing pieces in the chassis. Lowkey flexing the official Lego Revan fig in the background
all out assault vehicle with a turret, machine gun, and 8 guided missiles.

The MH-6 Little Bird is a quick and fast helicopters that goes Brrrrrr.
It's the favorite used by the Oceanic urban assault teams, allowing them to quickly ingress and egress.
Built for the World in Darkness group
What's WiD? - well I actually wrote a whole article about it today on BrickNerd: bricknerd.com/home/visors-in-darkness-how-i-found-out-i-a...
It was definitely a fun challenge building this iconic helicopter in sand blue, thanks to Toby in particular for some great suggestions and advice during the process.
And shoutout to Tanner for the awesome V3 visor casts.
Casca class long-range communications and reconnaissance ship
Length: 264 m
Width: 54 m
Height: 84 m
Casca class was a pre-war design - by the time the Insectoid Wars begun it was already decades in service.
It was lightly armored and had only missiles to protect itself - but it was quite fast to compensate.
Either way these vessels usually didn't partake in direct combat - their role was to provide reliable comms to attack fleets. They often served as command ships and sometimes as frontline recon - in this role though they were much more vulnerable.
When the Insectoid Wars begun Casca was one of rare ship classes whose role didn't change much - they didn't perform spectacularly nor did they show obvious signs of aging. They continued their service in the Navy in pretty much similar fashion as before the war - but on much bigger scale.
These ships weren't the heroes of massive battles but they reliably provide stable communications needed for the war effort. Eventually they were supplemented and replaced by newer vessels but they stayed in active service up until the end of the Insectoid Wars.
CM-900MC Mercury carrier refit
Length: 505 m
Width: 120 m
Height: 95 m
By the time the Insectoid Wars started CM-900 Mercury was a very popular and widely used cargo ship. Although its was a civilian vessel, it was pressed into military service. It was armed with 2 PDCs and 2 twin plasma cannons for self-defense, but it performed mostly the same duty as in commercial use - transport supplies for the military effort behind the frontline.
High degree of unification between Gandhi class frigate made Mercury easy to maintain - and often a valuable parts donor for those frigates.
But the shortage of combat vessels pressed Mercury in yet another role - one of an improvised carrier. It obviously had no internal hangars - but docking clamps for starfighters were installed in the place of cargo containers. 6 docking bays present on the original cargo hauler were also used to tow heavier attack ships.
Additional crew compartments were also added just behind the frontal section of the ship. A control tower was installed just before the back section. All cargo holds on its sides were switched to carry large fuel tanks.
This carrier refit was a stopgap solution. It was very vulnerable but allowed to carry much needed strike craft into battle in smaller fleets.
When proper carrier designs came into service in large numbers these refits were quickly fazed out from most fleets. But they continued to serve in small ragtag fleets that fought against the Insectoid-controlled insurgents popping here and there around the Federation territories.

Just a two lil' ships that were present on the last two Brutus class renders.
I think those are pretty but each one of them didn't deserve a dedicated post.
... aaaand another lore dump for you. For those one-and-a-half people that actually read all this and (maybe) enjoy it. :P
Thought I'd see what it looked like in Tan and Black, in use by my USMC figs here ; )

In a decade of great conflict, it only took a bit of chaos to cause widespread havoc and to push us over the brink of global pain. That day, time, day and night lost their meaning, for the years to come both, our life and the maps we then were so concerned about had to be redrawn. But what prophets once called the end of days, wasn't quite that, but rather another nasty morning to wake up to in the dirt.
Almost a year ago I began trying my luck at building some modern architecture houses... and ruining. This time I definitely wanted to go a bit bigger (to be exact 64x48 studs). Another idea which I am increasingly tried to work with is to primarily use dark color variations outside of the standard greyscale stuff. That probably also helped to create the dark mood of some of the pictures. Also special thanks to Julien for editing this one.
By the way, this is my entry for the Inspirational Lego Contest and I am glad I got it done in time, because I suspected I wouldn't at times.
All the best for 2016 guys..who knows what awaits us all, let's hope it's a good year.
Old photo I found on Google, the tank was broken apart for another project, cam was too spaced out..should have done it in chunks..well hindsight is a great thing. Maybe I will re-do this one in the future.
I've not been on Flickr much and it's due to a great opportunity ive taken that is a challenge of a lifetime, will explain later next year all being well ; )
I am still alive though lol and checking builds when time permits quickly but often it's just extremely quickly, hopefully I do get to build a few models in 2016, I'm going to try focus on a few older models I've never finished and you guys have never seen..fingers crossed on that lol, I've built a lot of work I'm extremely proud of and others I'd like to try in the future and I'm still a Lego addict so will be going nowhere. Don't like me or my ways or stream it's simple...go away and waste your own time being a bee-otch and a hater..I will lose no sleep over it but I might from your momma ringing me for some sweet loving 😉
You'll find if you only fave my work you will get the same back for 2016 😉
NTERRAs new wave of industrial grade rovers have arrived!
Introducing, B400 MEGA HAULER. No longer is there a need for multiple container trucks, its massive 38 x 44 stud cargo loading platform is built to transport bigger payloads through long distances. One of its unique qualities is its revolving mecanum wheels which allows multi-directional movement while keeping itself straight.
NTERRA, just one of the many industrial corporations of the lunar colony that operates on the moon. Its main functions are cargo transport and wreck salvage.
On the open roads of Mare Serenitatis, a heavily travelled route and a long journey. The destination, the ULC Imbrium Gate between the Apenninus and Caucasus mountains. These open roads are patrolled hourly but ambush attacks are still probable and it’s still 140 clicks to the gate.

* My apologies for the 3x3 round corner bricks on the GENIX canister not being rendered properly. There is a problem with the eyesight renderer not smoothening out curved bricks.
* This build has 3 custom parts made: 2 1x1 tiles and a 5x5 quarter round tile. Ill link the download files for the 1x1 custom tiles here soon.
* I have always wanted to try this type of mecanum wheel builds as it gives this very chunky and heavy feel that compliments large rovers. Plus the wheel build is really simple it just uses a 2x2 octagon and clips around to position the 2x2 round bricks. The drivers cabin had to be taller to contrast the flat and low feel of the rover and using flextubes and the 3x7 flag peice was just right. It’s been a while since my last massive project and this is kinda of a rebrand and restart of the NTERRA line, so here’s my first entry for Febrovery2023 with more on the way :)
Build made with Bricklink Studio 2.0 with existing/custom parts and image enhanced and edited in Photoshop.
Early Spring 2039:
American soldiers utilize underground water systems to supply fresh water to the Southern US and to parts of Central America under American control. The use of these systems provides water more evenly and efficiently and also reduces any risks from the effects from Project Washington. Along with that, it allows the US to control much of Central America with ease, and surveying and studying areas further South near the Dead Zones becomes easier to do without much military risk whatsoever. Much of these underground areas are overgrown however. Due to lack of proper maintenance and suitable growing conditions for plant life. This does present the only major hazard for the safety of military personnel and the only obstacle in maintaining the health of the water.
Neolith military corps use not only a lot of terrestrial drones, but flying too.
Close air support of Neolith troops is mostly done by plethora of autonomous VTOLs: some of them bigger ones are tank hunters carrying big guns. Medium ones mostly survey and attack lighter vehicles. And they are always accompanied by swarms of small drones, that serve as all-seeing eyes right above the trenches, and carry a lethal charge to pray on any individual enemy soldier that dares to raise their head above cover.

This diorama actually started with the idea of building a ship. That actually sounded like and in fact was a fun new thing to do for me, but once I was done, I felt like I should add a diorama around it. The final thing was inspired by a few things, primarily by Crysis 3 though. Yet again I tried to avoid the heavily overgrown and swampy look of Crysis 3, instead going for a more flooded kind of design. The boat´s design was sort of based on Armidale-class patrol boats, but taking their looks to a smaller size.
Finally finished making my Arctic Warfare Humvee I call the "Snow Cat" which is based on the one seen in the film "Inception" with my own changes here and there. Advice from Mark of Falworth on the tech for snow on the tree's..so thanks Mark pal. Edit by Todd, thanks very much Bud. !your skill always amazes me! Plenty of help and advice aswell..so thanks again..this ones for you! Ski mask heads from CB Joe..great gift..so a massive thanks ; )
Another quick shot, plan on making a civilian version of this with a different cabin set up, defo a personal favourite of my own builds as it achieves everything I want in a vehicle and at a smaller size then I'd managed in previous years/vehicles. Still forgot to put that red light on in the hood that lights the cabin up..oh well another time!
A bizarre, yet beautiful craft that is neither a plane nor a boat, but instead something in-between.

This nimble UAV is deployed in large quantities over the battlefield to solve different tasks, primarily - asserting dominance over small air (i.e. shooting down UAVs and guided ordnance), performing tactical air strikes and real-time recon.
With it's length under 5 meters "Chaetura" is too small for standing against enemy fighters on its own - but a swarm of these UAVs which are essentially expendable can effectively control the sky on lower echelons.
In basic layout "Chaetura" has two internal rifle-caliber machine guns and two external weapon hardpoints.
With its small size payload is limited both in quantity and assortment but a dozen of these UAVs can cause serious damage to the enemy.
"Chaetura" UAV is not that impressive on itself, but versatility and relatively low cost placed it firmly in Neolith armed forces for decades to come.

Just a small fun one-evening build. I'm pretty much sure that I ripped the overall design either from other MOCer or concept artist but I can't remember which.
If you recognize it - leave a link, I'm curious too.
In opposite to common assumptions, the fully advanced military of Greater Argentina is not far behind the world market leaders in terms of infantry technology. In fact, its small troop size is a result of its degree of infantry augmentations and the high costs per unit. In worldwide comparison, Graeter Argentine troops are close to on par with their Pan Asian and European counterparts.
Dark green and fully dark bley is optional and can be used depending on the environment.
Fun little build! My UN forces needed a new armoured car so i went with this as i've always liked it's shaping. The build is 6 wide and has room for 3 figs with posable steering.
I don't see very many of these made in lego and after starting to build it i realised why lmao. I would guess it's due to the complicated sloping all over and hatches that open in difficult ways. Window area is smaller on the real vehicle but this was the best choice at this scale while still wanting internal details like a steering wheel etc.
There will be upgrades to this later on like always.
Hatches all open...and close of course. 2 on the hood, 3 on the roof and 3 opening doors in total.
Bit of info on the real vehicle
The VBL is fully amphibious and can swim at 5.4 km, it is also air transportable by C-130, C-160 and A400M. It was developed during the 1980s and entered operational service in France in 1990. It has a fuel consumption of 16 litres per 100 km.
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.

Operation: Jungle Throat
Commanding Officer: Advanced Infantry Field Commander Locke
November 2038:
The government of Greater Argentina shows up to no interest in cultural goods of the jungles located in the west and north of their recently fortified territory. Sub-maritime carriers transporting advanced stealth aircraft can be used to establish the requested outpost at the given location. The exact position is to remain confidential.
December 2038:
As expected, the Greater Argentine military did not notice our presence, additionally the nearby Dead Zones still disturb satellite surveillance with non military satellites. LZ has been established. Brittle structures require structural reinforcements, stone bridges are significantly damaged by nearby waterfalls falling into lower levels of the canyon. The ruins provide cover for the ongoing construction of the underground outpost which remains under the protection of the 3rd Advanced Infantry Division.
January 2039:
Outpost Jungle Throat is operational. Emergency reinforcements have been assigned, in consequence a sub-maritime carrier is to remain in the South Pacific. A covert extraction of the VIP target in Rio has been authorized, a Commando strike team is standing by and awaits further orders."
2036
Rio Nuevo, formerly known as Rio de Janeiro, a city once found in Brazil and now in Greater Argentina and the city now controlling most of South America. Brazil, weakened by the effects of Project Washington lost it's power to Greater Argentina supported by Sharp Sky. Sharp Sky, recently bolstered by rich individuals during it's stay in India is providing adequate military support while Argentina's ISF keeps most of Rio Nuevo's streets clean. Sharp Sky is utilizing new soldiers known as the Sharp Sky Tactical Force. These elite soldiers utilize heavier armour than regular Sharp Sky Operatives and are highly advanced.
The DARKWATER Baal APC is the PMC´s main ground transportation vehicle by 2029. It was developed to suit the role of an urban combat vehicle perfectly. Considering the crowded cityspace of 21st century cities, it was relatively hard to deploy big scale ground vehicles in urban space without making them easy targets for more agile units, such as enemy aircraft and light assault vehicles. DARKWATER´s solution to the risk of losing their soldiers during ground transportation was to increase the armor of their vehicles and to include more exits to a single vehicle. The Baal APC, having multiple hatches on the back and both sides, allows soldiers to leave and enter the vehicle fast while still providing enough cover. Additionally, the vehicle has smoke launchers on both sides, allowing the vehicle to cover whole streets in smoke in order to provide a safe exit during ambush situations.
The remote turret ontop of the Baal APC inculdes a .50cal machine gun intended to be used with explosive rounds and a multi-purpose grenade launcher battery, which could for example be used to launch tear gas as a matter of crowd control. Given the fact that DARKWATER´s common combat vehicles are airborne, the Baal APC can often be seen used as IFV when neither Cerberus MBTs nor Gunships are deployable.
A new APC based on a few LEGO vehicle designs, most notably one of Steelharbinger´s APCs and my TAV´s frontal design. The first line of wheels features steering and suspension, the whole APC features seven hatches. More pictures will be added later! Oh and this will be my entry for the Cyberpunk Contest vehicle category.
