  1. I rebuilt the Speed Champions Bugatti Chiron model in 8 stud width in red and black paint, now the new model is more detailed, has undergone a complete restyling and as the original vehicle is two-seater, with a very large and comfortable interior for two minifigures. This model will soon appear in a small Speed Champions themed diorama that I will publish shortly.
  2. Thank you @paintballman ! I'm working actually at other set of minifigures, military-civilian and special military sets of minifig. Stay tuned!
  3. Hi mates! Recently I started to group my military minifigures based on pre-established themes (such as urban war, desert, etc.). Each group is representative of only a part of my army, so there will be many other similar minifigures of the same theme in my collection. In each group there are different operating classes, such as support class, assault class, scout, etc.
  4. Thank you guys!! I'm obsessed by building very accurate models from real vehicles. I'm happy that you like my creations. Soon I'll publish another series of my mocs.
  5. I'd like to see in future Lego City sets also: Office building (a building with a minimalist and essential style); Stage for concerts / stage for political meetings (maybe aggregated to a public park); Capitol (with politicians, police and demonstrators); A proper metro station; Plumber works in a house or street; Chemical plant / factory; A new modern and detailed train station (with a modern architectural style); Art gallery.
  6. I agree with you, it would have been fantastic. However, it is interesting to note how Lego in recent years has started to produce sets that are very close to the military world, such as this set, making life easy and inspiring us moc creators.
  7. Hi guys! Here is another series of my MOCs of military vehicles. SDP Mk. 3 "Tyrant Kite" UCAV Fighter Jet AFJ-S4 "Arkangel" MRAP "Cougar" JERRV 6x6 BAE Amphibious Combat Vehicle ACV 1.1 V-150 Commando
  8. The "Leviathan" Heavy Helicopter is a mod from Lego set 60166. This aircraft is a troop transport heavy helicopter that can operate in all battlefields where rapid deployment of troops is required. In the troop transport configuration, the helicopter can deploy 12 soldiers (pilot and co-pilot are not counted) with their equipments. Moreover, it can also act as an assault helicopter as it is equipped with a winch and gatling guns on the side. In addition to being able to transport soldiers, its internal space is large enough to deploy even small light military vehicles, making this helicopter very versatile.

  9. Soon I'll certainly post other my creations!
  10. Thank You! It was particularly difficult to be able to make the forward swept wing using legitimate techniques and without forced joints, but I'm happy with the final result, everything is solid and functional. And yes, I immediately fell in love with that set, and I understood its potential to transform it into the fighter jet of my dreams. I am hopeful to have given you an inspiration to make your jet, and I can't wait to see your other creations!
  11. I've never been a big fan of Speed Champions as I thought the 6 stud width of his cars was too unrealistic (like the fact that all the cars were single seaters) and also because many details were often made with stickers, instead of real construction techniques. Now, however, I am very impressed with this new series and the techniques used to make the details, and I will certainly follow the theme more (already bought the F8 Tributo). I personally hope that a Koenigsegg may be present among the next cars in the series.
  12. I really like your creations, specially the FREMM, that creation is incredible, you managed to condense all the functionalities of a real frigate in a small space.
  13. Nicely done! Given the size of your creation, in my opinion it would have been better to allocate it as an STOVL aircraft carrier. At least that this was your initial idea, in this case, you did it very well!
  14. Hi guys, today I'll share with you one of my recent creation. The "Ragnarok" Advanced Fighter Jet belongs to an innovative class of fighter jet that it is characterized by the presence of a Forward-swept wing configuration. This aircraft can reach over 2 times the speed of sound, and being equipped with the most innovative avionics and stealth technologies, it can operate in the most sensitive missions and comnforntare on par with its fighters from all over the world. This stealth aircarft is equipped with the most modern avionics and military technologies: aerial supremacy, low observability, situational awareness, multispectral sensors, extremely connected, network-centric warfare, 360 ° vision. Its particular profile makes it suitable especially for aerial superiority. Also is equipped with modern weaponry suitable for a 6th generation jet fighter: two cannon and retractable pods (to minimize radar track) for air to air missiles, or air to ground missiles. For other images, visit my flickr.
  15. Thank You! I came up with this creation by analyzing the tank scale from real photos with those of the soldiers and nearby objects. The width of 8 stud (plus two lateral ERA studs, therefore a total of 10 stud) seemed to me the best to get the right proportion and more similar to the real one.
  16. Hi guys! In the past I posted all my military creations in the old section, if someone has lost them or not seen them, I will post them here. Let's start with all of actual of my military tanks from around the world!

  20. The C2 Ariete MBT has been developed at the end of Cold War, to replace Leopard 1 and M60. After an initial offer, Italy decided to achieve the development of a battle tank by financing its industries. The main armament of the C2 Ariete is a 120 mm smooth-bore cannon, which is able to fire APFSDS-T (Armor-Piercing Fin-Stabilized Discarding Sabot Tracer) and HEAT (High-Explosive Anti-Tank). The MRS (Muzzle Reference System) system is also present on the muzzle (on the end of the barrel). There are 8 GALIX launchers for 80 mm smoke bombs (4 per side of the turret) capable of firing FUM-B grenades which generate an effective smoke screen both in the visible and in the IR. The front and side armor of Ariete is made of steel and composite materials; the turret is built with the same technique as the hull and has, on top, additional armor to protect the crew from missiles with a high profile flight path. The C2 Ariete is equipped with the TURMS OG-I4 L3 system by Galilelo Avionica (periscopes, COSMO MP501, meteorological and ballistic sensors, gyroscopic device, MRS, coaxial auxiliary telescope).

  22. I would very much like to see a theme focused on journalism, both paper and television, with journalists, a diversified fleet of vehicles of all kinds, and buildings such as editorial offices and studios. I imagine as big sets of this possible theme a great event that interests the whole city, perhaps on election day, or a large buillding like for the 60204 Hospital, if not bigger, and with many functions, such as a typography.
  23. The Black Night Challenger 2 is an upgraded version of the British army Challenger 2 MBT. The new version of the Challenger 2 features many new improvements mainly mounted inside and outside of the turret. The new combat equipment of the Black Night MBT turret is equipped with a Safran Paseo commander’s independent sight, Leonardo thermal imager for the gunner, and Leonardo night sight DNVS 4 to provide hunter-killer thanks to thermal imagers for the gunner, commander, and driver. Uses the same turret as the standard Challenger 2 that is mounted in the center of the hull. Main armament includes consists of one BAE Systems L30A1 RO Defence 120 mm rifled tank gun fitted with a thermal sleeve, fume extractor and muzzle reference system.

  24. I advise you to take 60234 fun fair people pack, because in my opinion there is more diversity of pieces and opportunities for customization, compared to 60230 which you can retrieve most of minifigures and pieces directly from the other sets from his reference theme.
  25. This is a little piece of art! I love how you manage to insert so many functions in a very small build. Also I appreciated the use of classic fireman minifigures!
