Hi everybody!

Hello all!

I'll first introduce myself: I'm Stefan and I'm from The Netherlands. I'm also probaly one of the younger members here, since I'm 13, and my birthday is in 2 months.

I actually liked WWII for a very long time, but never as much as I do now. I recently visited Liberty Park, which is a Dutch WWII museum, they had all kinds of vehicles and artillery from WWII, oh I enjoyed myself there so much. I also bought the game Medal Of Honor: Allied Assault just a week before that.

I've also been modeling Revell kit's, mostly from WWII. I'm recently building the LCVP Hiigins Boat from Airfix which is my first WWII model in a very long time. I also own some planes like the Spitfire and Hurricane, but I made these when I was young, and you've guessed it, I just painted them how I liked it and then added some stickers where they looked nice. I wish I could do that over.

The part of WWII I'm most interested in is probaly the Europe and Africa Military part, from both Allies and Axis. I know the basic things about all, but not very much details.

I'm also a very big LEGO fan, so I though, Hey, why not combine them? That's why I'm working on a Ohama Beach scene. I've planned a LCVP with Allies jumping out, a part of the beach with obstakles and some germands with a MG in a bunker. Any refernce about Ohama Beach (a bunker plan is what I'm really looking for) is very welcome.

I also have a question: Does anyone know and good WWII avatar's or pictures that could be made to an avatar? It could be anything from Tanks to airplanes to boats.

Well, that was it.

 

Welcome Lt. Pineapple! You will enjoy your time here! I applaud your efforts to learn more about WWII and to apply your knowledge to your other creative activities. Bravo!

 

Howdy and welcome to the forum. Legoland dioramas would be neat. Post some photos when you get done. Happy posting.

 

Thank you for the warm welcome!

 

welcome aboard there young fellow
a fine place here..you will enjoy your stay
cheers krieg

 

Welcome aboard, Pineapple! Good that you're here!

 

Thank you!

 

Allo, welcome and have a hobnob.

 

Haha! Do they taste good?

 

welcome Stefan, Yes you are one of the youngest members here. Your English is Excellent for someone who uses it as a second language. If you browse in our photo galery you may find some avatar ideas. I even remember someone opening a thread about WWII vehicles made with lego. it's somewhere on the forum, don't ask where though.

 

Thank you, I get the response quite a few times.

I already searched for an avatar and I found this nice drawing of a P-38 Lightning.

And I'll search for that tread, what would be a good place to start?

 

Great P-38 in aluminium version (no cammo paint) . I will try to look for the lego thread. We have a search section on the forum , I will try the word Lego first .

 

No need to, just a 1 min search in the modeling section (without using the search function )

WWII Vehicles in Lego

 

Bingo! Glad you found it .It was posted by Ceraphix a while ago.

 

Those are indeed very good tanks, I've also seen other good ones.

 

Glad you enjoy them. Apparently there is a yearly contest

 

A WWII Lego contest? Where?

 

Well on the site it says this it is their tenth yearly contest (or show if I have misread) so I thought there must have (and will be more of these) and I doubt one single person can make all these alone. There is got to be a lot of research , time, imagination etc..

 

I don't know, you just have to seach for some good photo's.

 

Yep, they're the marine of dunking biscuits.
