Lego Micro-Military

Over the last couple of days I've been looking for some inspiration for small-scale Lego builds, for a challenge in one of the many, many Lego groups on Flickr. I was going back through some of the things I'd done in the past, and came across my micro-military models from a couple of years ago. I thought that it might be fun to share them here. The pictures link through to the original images on Flickr.

I started of with this - a Generic Two-Seater Biplane

But the basic design got me thinking, and over the next couple of weeks I came up with variants. Here they are.

And I even managed something that wasn't a WWII German aircraft. This is one of my favourite Lego builds ever - despite being about fourteen bricks in total.

  2. Those are fantastic! That really reminded me. Back in the day when they didn't have any of the modern "special" pieces, we used to make battleships, aircraft carriers, and little aircraft to fight Pacific theater style games. Thanks for jogging the old memories!
