WWII Locomotives & War Series nº 86 - by Carlos Briz

Veichles and figures - Minifigs

(Class BR 80 locomotive - German State Railways)

Well, we are fast approaching the magic 100 number, related CB's to WWII posts, not to mention the dozens of other posts already placed, related to other historic periods.

This guys is a machine!


Awsome pic!

This pic allows for a thorough read of some of CB's modelling expertise.



Who knew that on the back of that factory, a guy would find a rocket propelled fighter (Heinkel He 162)?

The Germans were miles in front of the allies at the end of WWII, when it came to the use of that technology. Fortunately, at that moment they did not have the resources or the time to used it properly.

WWII Locomotives & War Series nº 85 - by Carlos Briz

Locomotive - Shapeways 1/148
Vehicles - WGS
Figures - Minifigs

Close up and details!

That's right, CB sent us some nice looking pics, but none where a guy could identify the locomotives (armoured trains) involved, and I am just too lazy to search for it on the internet...


Check this out: rolling armour aplenty!

The armoured trains were put to good use mainly in the eastern theatre during WWII, were it had a good cost effective weapon against the partisans.


Great job CB!


By the way CB: 

Do not forget that CHRISTMAS in coming up, and you already know the kind of present(s) that we want...
