Wow, your work is unbelievable! Have you ever thought of sending some of your pics to the LEGO company along with how you built it? I remember when I was younger and got LEGO Magazines that some people made really cool projects and got them turned into official LEGO kits.

Unfortunately, LEGO doesn't make military set, and I understand why, they want to stay a non violent toy, and also "modern" conflict like WWI, WWII and the Cold War, are still relatively recent and the wounds are still open in some country. But with the release of the Indiana Jones series, LEGO as made Russian Soldiers, Russian Officers and German Soldiers, so I'm really happy for this. They don’t sell military kits, but they sell all the pieces to build your own, that is what I do. I know a guy that sell custom military kits on the internet, but they are very expensive www.brickmania.com/I'm not there yet, I'm very attach to my LEGO, specially my military vehicles, I can't imagine myself selling theses. My dream would be to receive a call from LEGO, telling me that they are starting to make military kits and that they want to work with me. Dream, dream, dream...

Well, you may not be able to release the tanks, but your aircraft could definitely be sent in. The LEGO company has released all sorts of war planes, such as the Sopwith Camel, Fokker Triplane and a limited edition Spitfire. They even still had their MGs built, not censored. zaltar

Those are great! Man, you are really into Legos. I have found them too expensive, and have settled for 1/35 models, which are cheaper and more realistic, though of course, are not such a challenge to design and build.

Hey thanks for the comments guys, it much appreciated
I like LEGO because for me it's much easier to build with those than to use glue and paint, for which I have no patience at all.
The T-72 turret is almost done; I had to rebuild the mechanism for the gun because it was moving to fast; now it's OK. I'll post pics here when it's done (1 or 2 weeks). Also the building is a little bit slow down, because I'm playing WWI from 1C, while waiting for Kosovo Sunrise...

I'm assuming all the smaller models were not RC... LEGO is an entirely different relam of skill from plastic modelling. BTW, I still can't figure out how to paint camoflauge... ;D

Ocelo: Do you use an airbrush or paintbrush for camouflage?

I'm assuming all the smaller models were not RC... Yes, only the T-62 is RC This B-17 has a motor inside to rotate the propellers, but it’s not RC, the ON/OFF switch is inside the plane. All the other have no motors Good luck with camouflage paint, I bet it's very hard and required a lot of touch up. I'll stay with my little plastic bricks
