We'll Fight Them In the Trenches......

Check out THIS unique MOC. Its this kind of cross-genre building that I love. From transformers to warhammer, starcraft to D&D....this stuff always inspires to (think about) building some of the classic licenses from my childhood.




Remember blowing up green army men with black cats? We used to have huge campaigns with our army men and GI Joes, I wince to think about how much money was blown up in my back yard.

Blast From the Past

Since there is so much nostalgia going on in the comments, I figured Ide dig out THIS beauty. This was actually the first "real" set I remember doing as a kid.



6 minifigs and 2 horses, plus a bunch of great roof and wall elements. Flag, bows and pennents. Theres much to love here. This is (was) a castle builders dream set. Would still love to get my hands on a mint set...
