    Here’s the Soviet S51 SPG, it’s based off of a KV hull and has “Stalin’s Sledgehammer” (203mm howitzer) on top. This would have provided more reliability since it was more maneuverable than the other platform and could use the same parts as other KV1 and KV2s.

      Just a prototype, the massive gun proved to be too powerful for the KV1s chassis.

      Ah okay... yeah that is one big gun

    That looks great! Any plans to get them onto the battle field? I'd love to see them in action!

      I only have 1 player (myself) so I will try to go to the world war brick next year in Minneapolis and bring all my custom models. Not sure if it’s going to get canceled or not yet, but I hope we can have it.

      We hope that we won't need to cancel it either, but even if the world won't let it happen next year, we will definitely have a World War Brick when we are first able to, and I can't wait to see your custom builds! Also, don't hesitate to set up and play a solo game or two, they can be tons of fun! It also allows you to play with more narrative elements that might not be as well suited for a more competitive match up. In any case, can't wait for a Micro Brick Battle reunion at World War Brick, and if you do wind up playing some solo games definitely let us know!

    A new post on my Instagram profile... Im having a MicroWeek going on there.
    This is the US M8 Greyhound. This was a very challenging model to design in this scale but I think Ryan (who is on this forum to) did a great job on it! And I absolutely love the small details as the two black parts in the front to simulate the two open hatches that a Greyhound has in real life, and the hand piece as a machine gun on top.

    I made a late WW2 moc, it has a light brick in the tunnel. The Germans set up a Marder III to ambush an American M4 easy eight.

      I bet that German isnt that happy with that light on top of him... makes his hideout a pretty easy shot for that Sherman!

    My goodness that looks amazing! I think one of my favorite things to see is unique obstacles and town builds etc, I'm a huge fan of the micro buildings that Omaha Bricks has for that reason! There's so much room to customize and personalize the battlefield! Not only does it make the battles more memorable but its so much easier to build "head cannon" and a narrative around the action! Thanks for sharing!

      Brickmania should do micro brick battle buildings, like smaller versions of Dan’s castles that he used to make, and historical buildings in movies and have a battle pack for the band of brothers or something like that. Customize the Brickmini figures by printing on them and change out the helmets and weapons on them to fit different nations too.

    Hi! I just wanted to show y'all what I am planning to do.

    I'm planning on making a "Hold the Line" scenario (with some tweaks) using fictional vehicles and infantry.
    It will involve a made-up country that I came up with some time ago called Proveskia, and it would take place during its civil war (I call it the "Proveskian Civil War").

    Background Information:
    The territory under Proveskian control, Pery, wanted to secede from Proveskia, but after failed negotiations and incidents at their border, the Perians finally decided to take arms and declare their independence. At the start of the war, the Proveskian Army fielded their new tank divisions, the 1st and 2nd Armored Divisions, along with three other infantry divisions during "Operation Reunion," a plan that called for a combined-arms attack that would weaken the rebellion and ultimately result in their swift destruction

    This scenario would replicate what Operation Reunion would have looked like.

    The Proveskians would have "Lp. A" tankettes, "Lp. I" light tanks, and "Lp. II" light tanks. The Perians would have imported "RU-I" light tanks, which were light tanks from the Republican Union (another made-up country a friend of mines made), who secretly supported the rebellion.

    I based the Lp. A on your L3/35 tankette instructions and the Lp. I and II were based on a slightly modified model of your T-26 light tank. Finally, the RU-I is basically like the T-26. The gun barrels of the Lp. I, Lp. II, and RU-I are not final as I will replace them with either minifigure hands or flex tubes. Right now I'm just waiting on more building supplies.

    I'm still working on the details with the infantry and the map itself but I hope y'all like what I have so far!

    Here’s some Cold War-/Modern-era vehicles I made!

    These include the British Challenger II, German Leopard 2, German Kanonenjagdpanzer, German Raketenjagdpanzer 2 HOT, and Indian Arjun tanks.

    I had to search online for ideas and a way to improvise the tracks since I didn’t have the flat beams required for them.

    Hope y’all like them!

      I posted something on my Instagram account that fits here to again.
      This is the French Potez 63/11. The plane in the background is the French Br 691. And finally the tank in the background is the French R35. That tank is originally designed by Yitzy but I gave it some camo.
      I hope you like the models and the little fellows around them.

      I really wanted to do this since I got my Brickmania Huey from many years ago. This is my Bell UH-1 Iroquois. Many more updates and versions coming out soon! Also, I was listening to CCR while making this

      I have finally acquired the required pieces to make more of the Lp. A and the Lp. I! Here are some pictures of a recent battle between my brother and I. It was a whole lot of fun and I hope to have another one with the micro infantry!

      I made some tankettes that are somewhat based on the Polish TKS.
      I call it the Lp. AIT (Anti-Infantry Tractor).

      This is an example of my idea of mounted infantry. The APC in this picture is called the Personnel Tractor 1 (PT-1), a modified version of MMBChris’ Sd.Kfz. 251 Halftrack.

      In the movement rules for infantry, infantry can walk or sprint. However, my idea of mounted infantry will allow a third movement option for infantry: APCs. This option is the fastest option and provides more protection to infantry too, but like sprinting, the infantry would not be able to attack in that turn. In other words, mounted infantry is a fast, efficient way of bringing troops to battle.

      The US M40 GMC. One of my personal favorites just because of how the gun turned out.

      Ok, I finally got around to making a doors open version. The rotor blades still need to be bigger tho. Since Dan made an amazing update to the Huey I thought I’d make this as a MBB tribute.

      I was looking through my Youtube videos on which one was the most popular in 2020. Seems that my micro LCM Landing Craft was number 5 in the top 5! Pretty good score among all the 1/35 scale stuff that is normally more popular. Therefor I thought it would be nice to show the picture I posted on my Instagram yesterday, here to.

      IMG_4398.jpg

      All the positive reactions on Instagram to this picture and the DD Shermans, made me want to build another Landing Sherman... this time with snorkels!
      I thought that would be an easy fix, but it took me more time then I thought it would, and even several diverent designs, but I ended up with this being the end result:

      IMG_4420.jpg

      I might do a little tutorial on that little "add on" in the future.

        Wow that looks great! Maybe you could try and make a Tauchpanzer III or a Tauchpanzer IV, which were basically Pz. IIIs and Pz. IVs designed with a giant snorkel on the top of the turret for the Invasion of England.
    Working...
