Willys Jeep

 Hello again, today I am posting another model. This jeep is almost an exact copy of BRICKMANIA©'s Jeep but it is entirely made of my pieces I have found in my storage boxes and salvaged from other models.

 
This Jeep was mostly used in WW2 in almost every country. It was customised in every way to make it better in battle. The Jeep was very cheap to make and easy to maintain.

These are figures use Brickmania©'s US Minifigure Pack to help them look more like the real thing, We have a Medic, Communication and Infantry.

CCKW with M45 Quadmount

Although it's been a very long time since I've posted a new model this is my new CCKW. Built in the US in 1940 this spectacular truck weights 5.05t, 6.5 meters long, 2.2 meters wide and 2.7 meters high. The model includes an M45 Quadmount, opening doors and a winch.

 I am currently working on a very
strong frame for some
 fragile bodies so if the model does fall not all will be lost.

M101A1 105 mm Howitzer (Back)

Hello, it's been a while since I have made a new post. Here I bring you the M101A1 105 mm Howitzer that has taken me a while to create. The M101A1 105 mm Howitzer was in production since 1941-1953.

World War II
Korean War
First Indochina War
Vietnam War
Insurgency in the Philippines

Mini WWII Planes

Hello, my fellow friends! Today I will be showing you my "Mini WWII Planes". I will show you them in categories as you will see later on. Let's get started!

Auspicious Cloud & Pearl Harbor

 These are the E16A & D3A planes. They are both Japanese planes, The E16A is a low-wing monoplane equipped with two floats. The D3A had taken part in the attack of Pearl Harbor.

Battle For Britain

These two RAF planes were one of the most successful against  the "Luftwaffe". Behold the "Supermarine Spitfire".


















When you get a good guy you need a bad guy, in this case the good guys are the "Allied Powers" and the bad guys are the "Axis Powers". So if the RAF are the good guys the Luftwaffe are the bad. The "Messerschmitt ME Bf 109

 

 

 

Britain's New Allies

When you think of  WWII it wasn't one or two countries but the whole world. After Pearl Harbor America joined the war. Here is the "Grumman F6F Hellcat"

Into the Future 

Blue Sea Harrier, vertical take-off and landing. Interesting? 

 F-22 raptor, supermaneuverable fighter aircraft?, Stealth technology?, sounds fun!!!

The M4 Sherman was an American medium sized tank, It was manufactured between 1940-1941 in WWII, this tank was in service from 1942-1955 which is three years in service.

MB Willy's Jeep & M2 American Half Track

First lets start with some back ground information about the MB Willy's Jeep. The MB Willy's Jeep stands for "General Purpose", as you can see that it is spelt differently. if you divide the word Jeep into "Jee" and "p" it sounds like "G" and "P". The MB Willy's Jeep was manufactured from 1941 to 1945 which is four years being manufactured. Now onto the M2 American Half track, the M2's were manufactured between 1942 and 1943.

Douglas C-47

Hello, this is my Douglas C-47 model that I made in the past few weeks. Of course, I know that its not made in Lego as you would expect.

Here is how I made the C-47 / DC-3:

First I used my computer to manufacture the actual fragments for the plane. I used the real blueprints of the C-47 and after that I scaled it down so that the proportions would remain the same.
 
Afterward I cut out the fragments from the PVC foam board.

Wheels & Elevators

Wing & Engines

Fuselage & Rudder

After I glued everything together.

Later I painted the the top green and the bottom grey.

And lastly, I had to put on the stickers. I drew these stickers on my computer by myself. I also used PVA glue to put these stickers on.

  And here is the finished product:
