Astute Class submarine (1:200)

To go along with the Vanguard Class i posted last week, i decided to take a crack at an astute class again but at 1:~200 (20.2in/51.4cm long). There are likely better techniques i could use to bring down the price but they are for someone more talented than me.

I dont plan on doing another sub for a while, atleast at this scale, they are quite big and too expensive for my purse.

As always, instructions will be updated once the set has actually been made and tested :D I hope you all enjoy it regardless

Cobi vs. Aliexpress Shermans

I've been getting more and more into ww2 brick stuff and I'm currently considering between the cobra king 1:35 as well as a couple of aliexpress tanks. Could you guys check out the links and give feedback? (I'm aware that the aliexpress links are most likely just rebrickable mocs stolen)

Link 1- Sherman crab tank

Notes- This seems to be more "legit" as I've seen brands like brick block army dropship them which I imagine should be a good sign for the product maybe? Overall shop ratings for this product don't seem too shabby.

Link 2- Easy eight

Notes- This product seems a LOT more suspect given the shop is below average for every single category on the shop. Also, there are a lot of fishy 5 star reviews all over their shop. On another product where there was also a sherman, I saw the rating tank due to what I perceive as actual reviews saying that the sherman sucks.

I think I will purchase the COBI sherman if it is on sale for memorial day, and perhaps the Crab sherman if it is deemed legit enough.

Clash Of The Big Cats, Tiger 1: 12GO VS TK2. Review!

Two Tiger 1s, one is early(TK2) other is late(12GO) production. Both Tigers are command tanks and represent two tigers that were used by Hauptsturmfuhrer Michael Wittman.
I thought about writing one VS. other review, but;
TK2 is showcase of what can be done with bricks: great quality, model that is stable when finished, excellent details of exterior and interior, makes TK Tiger a superb set.
So, turned out to be a appreciation post for the 12GO: One excelent set, that looks better live than on photos, and it has that brick tank charm. This set was pure joy and fun to build! Good build technics, and instructions make the build feel fluid. I ordered this Tiger after i finished TK2, and im plesantly surprised with quality and how it looks when finished. This set is a must-have for any collector!
12GO 9.5/10
TK2 10/10

My take on a Fallout Vertibird

Not an IRL machine, but still iconic, IMO. Still tweaking the design some. Only non-Lego piece is the BrickArms minigun mounted at the left door.

What’s a military vehicle feature that sounds simple in theory but becomes a complete nightmare to engineer in Lego?

Vanguard Class Submarine (1:200)

First post and big design here :D this is my semi-finished semi-wip design of a vanguard class submarine with moveable stern flaps and rudder.

Made completely from scratch with many many many redesigns and while not as smooth as my initial designs it should be very stable and well fitting (curse hinges).

I am hoping to get all the parts soon (and test the instructions) but as you can imagine for a build of this size, it is not cheap even when "optimised" ;D
