We’ve featured custom LEGO kits by Brickmania many times over the years, but Dan Siskind‘s small business has grown considerably since the last time we reviewed one of the company’s kits. Most notably, Dan himself is no longer the sole or even primary designer — great LEGO builders like Cody Osell now contribute many of the custom designs to the company’s products. While Dan is best known for tanks, Cody has designed most of Brickmania’s airplane models, including the F-4C Phantom II we’ll be reviewing today. The packaging, instructions, and sticker sheet Small-batch custom LEGO kits do not, of course, come in the same kind of mass-produced packaging as official LEGO kits. Most Brickmania kits come in folded cardboard boxes with the custom kit’s details printed on the front and back, and unnumbered bags with the parts.

Professor Dumbledore is one of my favorite characters from the books and movies of Harry Potter (but I will say, I preferred Richard Harris’ portrayal over Gambon’s).

Sprawling across multiple base plates, this staggering LEGO sci-fi display is the brainchild of builder Marco den Besten. Taking inspiration from the Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun video game franchise, it depicts a bustling military complex and its numerous support vehicles, mech suits and space fighters. The glistening yellow, white and grey colour scheme, borrowed from a Nexo Knight shield, gives it a crisp and clean futuristic feel. The large woodlouse-like Harvester 2 rovers are great models in their own right, doubling curved elements to create their distinctive shells. There are many more highlights to be seen, including several animated components. These allow the row of spaceships to be raised to launch trajectory and the base’s radar dish to spin.
