Beloved by American ground combat troops, the A-10 Thunderbolt II, or Warthog, is now a kickass toy thanks to an enterprising Lego aficionado. The YouTube

I based this figure loosely off of the US Assault model from Battlefield 4, mainly seen in the backpack, I started it a little under a year ago, and I am constantly updating it, so any ideas are welcomed!

With LEGO refusing to sell products modeled on today’s military, DIY enthusiasts have been creating their own elaborate war machines – and then selling the sets for thousands of dollars.

i'm absolutely in love with the panzer commander and especially the cap!

Well, now I'm back in the game I figured I'd have another attempt at the P-51. I've had a few goes at this over the years but none worthy of sharing. Ever since seeing LEGO City's new cockpit I knew this had to be done. A good chance to crack the decals out too. I'm aware I'm missing a few crucial markings - perhaps I'll add them on once I figure out a way to make these weird angles without studded plates. This was a particular challenge as I wanted to get the wing dihedral, the rearward angle on the wings, the sloped nose, straight tail, and tapered fuselage, but alas! I managed it. Lots of subtle angles in this model. Hope you enjoy it! P.s. The 2x2 angled light bluish grey plates are the result of part 51739 meeting a craft knife. Cheeky.

This Juggernaut Army of Two Custom Minifigure looks amazing! The Ballistic mask and Interceptor vest are Modern Brick Warfare exclusives while the Ballistic mask has been modded. The fit was not that great, so G-Bricks did a bit of drilling on the inside so that the eye's would show through the eye holes properly

This is a figure that I've been meaning to do for ages. It's based on an S.A.S. "inspired" figure from Hot Toy's, that pretty much looks like a badly thrown together kitbash. I just quite liked the idea that an S.A.S. officer given the choice to select his own kit, would kit himself out from head to toe in U.S. gear XD The gas mask is sculpted from scratch (apart from the filter which is a modified Minifig.cat filter). Also, I can't seem to do without a few Tiny Tactical accessories lately. I just love that Carabiner. The Leg assembly and torso assembly and hands are from my G-Bricks Custom Military Figure set and I tried this figure out with a few of my other cast head pieces and it looked pretty cool. Lastly, I finished it off with a quick custom base for display. Quite happy with how this turned out and I'm looking forward to adding a few more military figures to my own collection.

R.Goff1 is pretty new to the custom LEGO Flickr community however the quality of his custom minifigures is a very high standard, so be sure to check him out.

It has been a while since I last wrote a post. Suffice to say I've been busy (building, and travelling). Furthermore there simply weren't all that many military MOCs in the last few weeks that tickled my fancy, apart from the ones Chandler already blogged. That I am writing this post now is due to me seeing a very nice representation of a LEGO HMMWV built by legohaulic this morning. One could argue that the 'terrorist' being crushed by the model is a tad distasteful, but I like the vehicle. The grille is nice, I like that it has working suspension and I love the use of curved bricks to build the lip of the hatch in the back. They are small details, but add a lot to the model. Legohaulic remarks:"I know that there are many LEGO versions of the HUMVEE out there that are almost identical." With many builders having tried their hand at building Hummers, it has become hard to build one that is obviously different, apart from changing the scale. Because of Legohaulic's model I decided to trawl flickr and brickshelf looking for Hummers and Humvees. There are a lot of models of civilian Hummers out there as well, but since this is a blog about military LEGO I'll focus on the military versions. The HMMWV for High Mobility Military Wheeled Vehicle, known to troops as the HumVee, was designed in the late 'seventies as early 'eighties as a replacement for a range of different vehicles in use with the US Army. This included various development of the classic Jeep, but also a number of different light trucks and a wonderfully weird six-wheeled contraption known as the Gama Goat (I don't think I've seen one of those yet in LEGO). The vehicle was to have an exceptional ability to drive off-road and replacing light trucks meant that the vehicle was going to be considerably bigger than a Jeep. I doubt anybody would call the result pretty, but the trucks did the job. The US Army uses thousands of HumVees in a bewildering variety of types including fairly basic pick-up trucks, versions armed with anti-tank or surface-to-air missiles, long range patrol vehicles for special forces and ambulances. During the recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan vehicles such as HumVees have proven very vulnerable to mines, improvised explosive devices and rocket-propelled grenades, leading to efforts to add more armour but also to finding replacement vehicles. Regardless, I think we can expect HumVees to remain in service for a long time still and to see many people try to build LEGO versions. I think that Mike Yoder has influenced a lot of other builders with his 8-wide Hummer. Some of the people who commented on Legohaulic's HumVee that there are a lot of people who seem to copy what other people have done. This seems to be the case for 8-stud-wide models in particular. I'm not going to post all the other 8-wide HumVees that I came across that were obviously inspired by Mike Yoder's, but they are numerous. Instead I'm going to focus on other 8-wide models that do manage to be different (and not suck while doing it). Like LegoHaulic's HumVee, the 8-wide model by urthedead has working suspension. Brickshelf user sfzdk also has an 8-wide model, which manages to be different once again. (edit: I replaced a picture with a thumbnail, because the original is too large. Clicking the picture takes you to the brickshelf folder.) Mike Psiaki acknowledges Mr Yoder's influence (and it is obvious in the construction of the chassis), but manages to give it his own twist by choosing to use aircraft windows that make it look much more like an up-armoured Heavy Hummer. Obviously if you have different but roughly similarly skilled builders take on a similar subject, you'll end up with similar results. These models are all variations on a theme, perhaps, but you can see that much of the construction of these vehicles is very different, and yet they manage to look similar. Isn't LEGO wonderful? There are so many different ways of achieving a similar effect! Now I'm going to turn towards different scales and I'll start with a tiny little model built by brickmania It is only four studs wide, but it still manages to capture all the salient details. For those of you who follow this blog or with whom I've discussed the issue on eurobricks (ad nauseam) it will be no surprise that I tend to opt for the smaller end of minifig scale. I think that 8 studs wide is a bit to much for a HumVee. The real vehicles are wide, without a doubt, but part of how wide they look is caused by the fact that the cab is fairly low and sits high above fairly chunky wheels. When I tried my hand at a minifig scale HumVee, I opted for six studs wide. Unfortunately, in order to be able to fit at least a driver in there, it ended up with a cab that looks too tall. Using my design as a starting point, channaher built his own six-wide HumVee and by using a few tricks (a plate here and there and some door rails) he managed to make it look much better. Moving on towards a larger scale, for a long time I've been building cars to the slightly unusual scale of 1/22 (although I am pleased to see that it seems to be catching on!). On that scale HumVees end up being 12 studs wide. To me the old-school technic tyres I used seemed made for this vehicle. Showing that size matters, rabidnovaracer built a whopping 34-stud wide monster: I am sure that there are some worthy and original models of LEGO Hummers out there that I overlooked (if you know some, please leave a comment), but I hope I have given you a nice overview of the various ways in which LEGO builders can make a box on wheels look interesting.

While looking through some old pictures, we found this guy and decided he was good enough to post. Modcom is fun to work with :)

Sometimes the simplest of customs looks the best! This Future Urban Combat Trooper Minifigure uses some great combination of pieces, including the Citizen Brick boonie hat, eclipseGrafx head, BrickForge body armour and BrickArms OC Auger (with the detailed ACS drum which I think clips onto the Auger) The grey and blue camouflage looks great and
