The United States of America is 250 years old! Which makes it not quite as old as this TLCB Writer’s church. Still, a quarter of a millennium is worth a party, and what better way to do that than by renaming an airport, starting a war with Iran, and putting a slightly crap fair on the National Mall. Or, alternatively, building a giant gatling-gun-armed mech with George Washington’s face on it! Flickr’s Julius von Brunk knows how to celebrate a semiquincentennial anniversary and you can join him on the Whitehouse Lawn via the link above! USA! USA!

M3 Halftrack
This WWII vintage M3 Halftrack is the work of Swedish builder =DoNe= (a.k.a. Viktor). The Elves were attracted to it as, despite it only being seven studs wide, there was loads of room in the front to drive it and even more space to climb in the back and play with the machine gun. We at TLCB Towers liked this MOC because of the neat techniques that Viktor has used to get the shape right for the front of the vehicle. The use of plates with clips to make the mudguards and radiator grille works very well. There’s also some nice parts usage in the running gear inside the tracks and the Technic pins in the windscreen frame. You can see more details of this build by clicking this link to its MOCpages listing. In the meantime, can anybody lend The Lego Car Blog some scissors? An Elf has got tangled in the Halftrack’s working winch and we’re going to have to cut him out…
