December challenge -- Veteran's Day - Brickiwiki: For LEGOs Fans

Army - I built a tank, not really modeled after anything specific. When I built the Marines vehicle and the chopper, it looked a little dwarfed so I added a Howitzer-type cannon in tow

Navy -- Originally, it was a really simple, vague ship with some guns. Again, it was little, so I revamped it to be an aircraft carrier

Air Force -- this ended up resembling an F-16... Actually, it's quite Easy to make an F-16, just get the blue X pod, the one with the jet, and make that jet. Only, when you make it, switch the intake piece and the exhaust piece.

Marine Corps -- I had a hard time figuring out what to build for the Marines. They pretty much use what everybody else uses, and I didn't think I could pull off the hovercraft. Maybe... Anyway, I did some research and found a craft pretty much only used by the Marines, the LAV 25. Then I tried to replicate it. This is where the models got bigger. I also ran out of the right wheels...

Coast Guard -- I thought it was going to be difficult because of the colors, orange and white, but then I realized I had plenty of orange from Sebulba's Podracer. Of course, I accidentally made it really really big, but oh well. And the coloring scheme is not actually how coast guard choppers and ships are painted, but pulling off a diagonal stripe was not going to work out well. This one is like the tank; not really based on anything.
