This Siege Tower built by Knight Eklund is a very interesting entry for the CCC IX Siege Weapon. The archers tower are in fact my favorite detail about the whole construction.

December 3, 2011Fort Legoredo
November 22, 2011Fort Legoredo was one of my favorite LEGO sets during my childhood and was a pleasant surprise when I discovered this wonderful tribute from Franko Komljenovic and Matija Grguric to this set from the year 1996.

WWII Micro airport
November 4, 2011I’m passionate with micro constructions and this small world war II airport built by Henning Birkeland ia a delight.
I also suggest that you take some minutes and appreciate all other his work. It will be a time well spent.

War Elephant
September 30, 2010After the great LEGO news of the past days, I’ll come back to the presentation of historical MOCs. Today’s MOC is an interesting construction by Wami Delthorn of a War Elephant commanded by a Spartan Warrior. It’s unclear if the Spartans have ever used war elephants but is known that some Greek armies had.

Airborne in Normandy – 1944
September 1, 2010Ciamoslaw Ciamek (aka PigletCiamek) has done another excellent layout, this time showing the war scenario of the airborne in Normandy at 1944.
There a lot of cool details that is hard to point out the favorites. I will suggest a close look to the German tank, infantry and the anti-aircraft machinery.
Here is the Ciamek’s description of the diorama:
Diorama shows US airborne troops landing in Normandy.
At night of 5/6 June 1944, as a prelude to the landing in Normandy operation an airborne troops assault was made. The work is inspired by the events from St. Mere Eglise town described in a book and depicted in the movie “The Longest Day”.It is a “loose” presentation of the subject , as despite the quite “idyllic” atmosphere, there is also an unexpected gathering of German military equipment:
- Tiger tank
- Flakvierling anti-aircraft gun
- Anti-aircaft searchlight with a generator
- Wehrmacht post

Indiana Jones – Tank Battle Overview
August 29, 2010It’s good to wake up in the morning and see a great MOC like this. Brian Williams made an excellent job recreating the adventures of the young Indiana Jones when the British met with failure in the initial assault on Gaza in 1917. This diorama includes both tanks featured in this Young Indiana Jones episode: The British Mark V (green) and a Fiat 3000b (tan – portraying a French M17).
Of course, I can’t close this post without mention the incredible technique he applied to build the smoke and fire of the green tank. I classify it as a 5 star masterpiece.

Enemy Ace in No-Man’s Land
August 24, 2010Hound Knight built an incredible scene that shows Rittmeister von Hammer attempting to take out an easy target. The construction has awesome details. I’m not sure, but it appears that the nose of the plane was built with a Bionicle facemask, I loved the way he represented the black cross in the airplane wings, and the ice-cream bricks are a cool representation of the bullets hitting the ground.
The battle of Cherbourg
August 23, 2010Andrew made a cool representation of the Cherbourg liberation day that took place some days after D-day. Chergbourg was a strategic point of the Allied campaign to reconquer Europe from the Nazi occupation. The diorama illustrates French civilians emerging from their hidings to welcome the allied troops and the heavy damage in the buildings caused by the long days of battle. This construction deserves that we take a few moments to explore all the details, such as the bullets holes, the damage walls and the high-detailed M4 Sherman tank!
