Hi everybody! (Hi Doctor Nick!) After searching for months, I wasn't satisfied with any designs for Lego Kubelwagens I found online, so I set out to make my own, and I love it! It took plenty of experimenting, but it's finally finished, and you're all among the first piece to see it! (By the way, this is now my avatar.) First up, a WWII-ish photo of two my new Brickarms germans out on patrol. They're the ones who dubbed her "Elsa" Oh, and in this photo, my new gold MG42 prototype!!!! :-D http://mocpages.com/image_zoom.php?mocid=75977&id=/user_images/15952/1223423254m_DISPLAY.jpgNext is a shot of the front. Here you can clearly see my use of those little clip pieces for tow hooks, or what ever they're called. http://mocpages.com/image_zoom.php?mocid=75977&id=/user_images/15952/12234232571Next up is the left side (Mods, see note below.): http://mocpages.com/image_zoom.php?mocid=75977&id=/user_images/15952/12234232602A shot of the back and left side: http://mocpages.com/image_zoom.php?mocid=75977&id=/user_images/15952/12234232643And lastly, the right side: http://mocpages.com/image_zoom.php?mocid=75977&id=/user_images/15952/12234232674A note to the mods, there are Brickarms incorporated to the build. There is a monopod connecting the steering wheel to a 1x1 clip plate. You can see it on the picture of the left side, at the base of the steering wheel. It was the only piece that worked! :-)

THAT IS AWESOME! I love how incorporated so much detail into something so small, and great use of BA!

You continue to amaze me RoA. That looks awesome, and the detail is amazing. The slanted front is pretty cool. 10/10.

In many photos I've seen of Kubelwagens, they have mounting racks/clips for weapons. The decision to include that feature was actually made while I was photographing it. It added a little "pizzaz", if you will.

Wonderful, just wonderful! Can we possibly have a reference pic?
Please let me shoot you.
