A theme that I have not yet covered on this site, the Third World War! Weird War is a theme taking up the context of the 2nd World War which did not end in 1945, and which continues in a post apocalyptic / science fiction / techno punk / Zombies universe.... Basically a rather complicated theme to define, but you will quickly understand with the photos of Hammerstein NWC posted on his FlickR. Great job!

July 14 in France is the national holiday, celebrating the storming of the bastille in 1789 and the end of the monarchy. Since 1880 it has been celebrated with a major military parade in Paris, and creates a day where the army is honored. Festi’briques, a French association for the promotion of Lego distribution, took these photos of a giant diorama exhibited during one of their events. It’s beautiful, well done, and full of fun details. Can you find them? 🙂

Superb diorama by Chris Woolsey which perfectly transcribes the “game of hide and seek” between American troops and the Vietcong. The presence of the “Huey” adds a dimension to the scene. The American combat helicopter has become a symbol of this conflict through all the missions carried out (troop transport, medical support, heavy weapons support, etc.). The veteran squad is also magnificent.

The Roman Soldier is one of my favorite Lego minifigs. And legophthalmos knows how to stage them! When they are not in combat, the Roman legionnaires ogle the little Roman girls! And Alexander the Great strikes the pose... Great quality photos, you're sure to like it!

The Audi Quattro is a road and rally car, produced by the Audi brand. This model was shown at the Geneva Motor Show in 1980. Production of the original version continued until 1991. The word quattro is derived from the Italian word for "four". The name was also used by Audi to refer to the quattro four-wheel drive system, or a four-wheel drive version of an Audi model. The Audi Quattro was the first rally car to benefit from the rules which allowed the use of four-wheel drive. To commemorate the success of the original vehicle, all subsequent Audis with their trademark four-wheel drive system were badged "quattro" with a lowercase "q" and a distinct font that has remained virtually unchanged since its inception.

"Muscle Car" is an American term used to refer to a variety of high-performance cars. Generally on a 2-door chassis and equipped with a large V8, the Muscle car period is distinguished by low prices accessible to young people, at a time when young people are "kings" and when Detroit is the reference in the automotive world.

Who hasn't had a poster of the Ferrari F40 in their room or as a miniature car? The Ferrari F40 is a sports coupe built from 1987 to 1992 (until 1994 for the LM and 1996 for the GTE). The successor to the Ferrari 288 GTO, was designed to celebrate Ferrari's 40th anniversary and was the last model personally approved by Enzo Ferrari. It is the symbol car of the 1990s and 1311 F40s were manufactured in total.
Aaah Gladiator, this film is a true masterpiece. Particularly the opening battle against the Germanic barbarians. A great moment in cinema! We could almost smell the blood and mud on us. Legophtalmos (his nickname is not obvious) reshot this particular scene in Lego format, with successive takes. Truly immersive!!

The BTR-80 is an 8×8 wheeled amphibious armored personnel carrier designed in the USSR. It was adopted in 1986 and replaced the previous vehicles, the BTR-60 and BTR-70, in the Soviet army. He was deployed during the Soviet war in Afghanistan. Seven firing hatches specially designed for AK 47s are present on the sides. In the event of an ambush, infantrymen can insert their assault weapons into these trapdoors and return fire while remaining safe. The traps are very simple to use, infantrymen simply insert their weapons horizontally and, once inside, straighten them vertically to clip the weapon into a ring. Once clipped, the weapon pivots on a spherical bearing which provides great maneuverability and also great precision because the weapon is less likely to rear up when fired.
