Chris Churchill's Mechanized Brick is a commercial venture, selling WWII-era models of his own design for prices between $20 and $240. That may seem a bit on the expensive side, but bear in mind that purchasing individual blocks for custom models can get very expensive very quickly. If you'd like to try to save a few bucks, Churchill also offers an Instructions CD with detailed diagrams and parts lists for his first twelve models, including the Lockheed P38 Lightning pictured above.

We know that Lego has had a long standing policy not to make modern military models, but they certainly aren't averse to weaponry as long as it's older (muskets, cannon, bow and arrows). Although we can understand why a European company would still feel sensitive about building models from a war that was fought on their own continent—especially the German models—we can't help but wish that Lego would create a WWII series of their own. In the meantime, we've got Chris Churchill's models to lust over.
