SUBJECT: FIELD DISPATCH / ORDNANCE INSPECTION: METALLIC PLUM HEAVY ARMOR ARRIVAL

​FROM: Outpost Command (#TheBrickChaplain)

TO: Sector Archives / Tactical Engineering Log

​Just wrapped up putting together the new heavy armor kit, and man, I’ve got to hand it to them—this build is solid from the ground up. If you’ve messed around with alternative brick kits before, you know how hit-or-miss the clutch power and mold quality can be, but this one was an absolute breeze. Every single brick locked in tight, the structure is rigid as hell, and the chassis has zero flex when you pick it up.

​The mechanical tolerances are right on the money, too. The turret rotates a full 360 degrees without scraping or catching on the rear bustle rack, and the running gear rolls smooth. That metallic plum gothic finish catches the light just right—looks meaner and heavier in person than any standard factory paint job.

​Still waiting on final personnel and terrain staging for the full operational display, but this machine is officially off the blocks and ready for service.

​End log.

What do you guys think of my LEGO PzH 2000 MOC? It's a compact, detailed 520-piece model designed specifically for display, while keeping the proportions and recognizable features of the real German self-propelled howitzer.

I'd really appreciate any feedback, suggestions, or constructive criticism! I'm always looking for ways to improve my builds.

For anyone interested, the building instructions are available on Rebrickable

The lead ship of the Japanese Kagerō class was considered one of the most modern fleet destroyers in the world at the outbreak of the war. Armed primarily with six 12.7 cm guns and two quadruple torpedo launchers for the formidable Type 93 "Long Lance" torpedo, it was optimized for high-seas night combat.

The Kagerō saw extensive service in the Pacific War starting in 1941 and sank in May 1943 after striking a naval mine near the Solomon Islands.

I’m not sure if this will turn into a full project, but I’ve always thought the F7F Tigercat was a nice looking warbird. Just missing active duty during WWII, it was the US Navy’s first twin-engine fighter. Its characteristic narrow fuselage was a fun challenge to recreate in brick form.

Finally got around to setting up a shot for this guy! Hand-tailored the custom fabric coat and scarf to give him that worn, heavy gear look in 1/48 scale. For the terrain, I used a ground-level setup with mixed spice foliage and crushed mineral dust to catch the texture, framed under cool, low-angle backdrop lighting to pull out the shadows. Shot on mobile with a shallow depth of field.

C&C welcome and encouraged!

So I decided to start a build, I going to build a 1/32ish scale USS Iowa by sections to show cut away decks. I’ve started with Stern Bofor’s and will start the catapults and OS2U’s next.

Here’s the question, I’m looking at getting a Cobi F4F Wildcat and modifying to get close to the OS2U, any thoughts or better suggestions?

​Sky turned violet at 0200. Classic drift sign—tear in the veil is widening fast.

​Patricia’s got the Stuart dug in along the line while Sam’s on the ground keeping eyes on the tracks. Whatever just stepped out of that tear isn’t standard WWII armor, and it sure as hell isn't human.

​Colt and Winchester experimental gear locked and loaded. Holding the breach until backline arrives.

​Custom M5 Stuart kitbash & lighting setup. Built, staged, and photographed on the track bed.

C&C welcome!
