Product Information
Q: What is included with a MECHANIZED BRICK custom kit?
A: MECHANIZED BRICK custom kits include everything needed to build the model, as pictured on the site, using all new genuine LEGO® parts & minifigures, decals [depending on model], and high quality printed 3D rendered step by step building instructions. In addition, kit orders come packaged in a sealed box with the MECHANIZED BRICK logo.

Q: Are glue, paint, or special tools needed to assemble the kits?
A: No glue, paint or modifications are made to the stock LEGO parts with the exception of LEGO tubing which is sometimes pre-cut to length and/or bent to shape when needed. For kits that include decals, scissors and/or an exacto knife may be needed.


Model Information
Q: What scale are the models?
A: The models are approximately 1:35 scale, while still allowing minifigures to completely fit inside enclosed turrets and vehicles. This is also known as building to minifig scale.

Q: What color are the models?
A: The Series I models are built with original LEGO light grey pieces as seen in the T-74 model and original LEGO dark grey pieces as seen in the Sherman model.
The Series II models now use the new grey and dark grey colors that LEGO replaced the original grey colors with in 2004.

Q: Are the tanks and vehicles capable of being motorized?
A: Yes, the T34, T-74, Tiger I, Greif and M8 models have all been motorized using stock LEGO Technic motors and parts.
A fully wireless remote controlled version of the T-74 has been made using components available from HiTechnic.com. Update: Unfortunately, HiTechnic has stopped production of their aftermarket RC components. Motorized versions of the kits using alternative methods may be added as an order option in the future.
