Building military LEGO models with a good camouflage is very difficult. The issue gets even harder when you're working on a small model. Luckily there are some talented builders out there like BrickArmy that have the skill to pull it off. I've posted LEGO humvees on jpBRIX before, but they were both constructed in one color. Here we see an example of that along side one in a very nice woodland camouflage.

I've had the opportunity to ride in these a few times, and they're very different from your normal car. These things are the definition of utilitarian. The seats are basically inch-thick pads that are not comfortable at all, and everything else is just bare metal. When you're running convoy operations though, they do what you need them to. This LEGO Humvee version captures that attitude very well.

This week's Work In Progress is a WWII vignette being built by Jackbrick101. I bet this is going to look cool with some WWII tanks and paratroopers on it. He definitely has the Minifigs for it, click through to his flickr photostream and see what I mean.

One of the best themes that The LEGO Group is missing is World War II. Judging by the amount of MOCs made by the AFOL community, it has a huge audience already. For a small glimpse of this following, just check out this excellent anti-aircraft gun made by flickr user Carpet Lego.

Scrolling on through his flicker photostream, you'll see even more examples of WWII models built by him. All of them contain the same level of detail seen here.
