Lego Vietnam - Battle of Ia Drang Stopmotion

''I love the smell of burning Lego in the morning. You know that burned plasticky smell? Smells like...Victory''. Great work with the Huey chopper and fighter jet models. Instant Vietnam atmosphere!

If anyone wants to know more about La Drang, The Operations Room covered it very nicely. It is worth noting that this was one of two engagements, the other that happened later was a lot more of a mess-up. I love the attention to detail, such as the white phosphorus round landing right before the helicopters move in!

Realistically, mud, soot, gunfire and the jungle itself made the Vietcong invisible. That what makes their ambushes effective

Except for the RNVA all being white. That was confusing and made it look they were fighting a British army from the 1890s.

[@LFPAnimations]

The animation of the helicopter landing is just so good! I can't imagine how long this thing took to make. Such precise and skillful animating!

[@end_oh]

Watching those Lego WWII recreations in the early 2000s was one of my favorite things to watch when I got home from school. This throws me back to see that these are still being made, but those videos from my childhood cannot compare to this masterpiece. Thank you.

[@ezrasimagination]

Ok, I can not begin to even describe how stellar this was! The explosions with the bricks is incredible, and every little detail shows the insane amount of effort you put into this! Even the grass shaking under the helicopter is an effect that showed how much you cared. I greatly look forward to your next project!

[@davidpowell6098]

My grandfather was involved in the training of the Viet Cong. He is from the USSR, Perm. He showed a video. He showed a video. He said that you repeated everything exactly, almost exactly. Unfortunately, he didn't finish watching everything. For him, this is the most traumatic event, except for Afghanistan. Well done, keep up the good work. You know how to make cool movies.

Well done! The 1st (Air) Cavalry Division deployed in Vietnam was the commitment to an experiment in mobile warfare which was part of a long transition from being a mounted cavalry division formed in 1921 or 1922 then an infantry division during WW2 to an airmobile formation during the Vietnam War to finally, in 1986 onwards to a cavalry division which is a full armored division with 3 armored brigades and a full aviation brigade today as part of the III Corps. A salute to you @JDbricks and a salute to all those who served our nation in both war and peace!

Ia Drang was the first test of a new concept in warfare: Air Cav. Lessons learned here would influence air-ground ops doctrine for the remainder of the war.

[@SammyLange]

Love how the grass moved when the helicopters went to land amazing detail ❤

Using Huey choppers as a modern cavalary was a new thing during Vietnam war. I was three years old when that war ended but this video really made it come to life.

the fighter planes were so well done! this could easily be in a movie. I remember when you just posted the verdun video and thought that was the most revolutionary stop motion you had made, but it's only gotten better. keep it up :D

this is especially good when the beltfed comes out. and the grass blowing from the choppers

[@karel3183]

The Verdun video was my first experience with this channel. The production keeps improving with time, but nothing ever matched that first video I saw. Nothing could ever match its gloominess and heaviness and shell-shock effect of artillery and the sheer sadness and brutality and loss of human life. I don't know. Maybe it's just my subjective feeling.
