NEW RELEASE: M1 40mm Anti-Aircraft Gun
The M1 40mm Anti-Aircraft Gun is an automatic cannon designed for medium range anti-aircraft defense. It’s high explosive shells packed much more stopping power than smaller caliber weapons and the automatic feed was fast and reliable. Water-cooled variants were mounted on all US Navy warships in single, dual and quad mounts from 1042 well into the 1950s. The M1 40mm Anti-Aircraft gun was regularly referred to as the “Bofors Gun” after the Swedish company that designed the original weapon.
This model builds the towed version of the M1 40mm Anti-Aircraft was typical for American anti-aircraft units in all theaters of operations in World War II, used by both the US Army and the US Marines. It would common by towed into position by a CCKW truck, halftrack or other prime-move. It’s cruciform base would then unfolded and wheels jacked up for firing. It could also be fired while in the wheels-down position, but with far less accuracy.

Van Gogh Mosaic Build at MIA – To Be Continued November 7th @ Brickmania Toyworks
Last night we participated in the Minneapolis Institute of Arts’ “Nerd Thursday” event by hosting a mosaic build of Vincent Van Gogh’s “Olive Trees.” Well over 1000 people attended the event and our building tables were definitely the most exciting place to be during the evening. In spite of poor lighting, obnoxiously loud music, shortages of crucial pieces and not enough tables to build on, we still managed to complete about 80% of the 4 x 5 foot mosaic piece in the three hour time frame.
Brickmania would like to invite everyone to complete the mosaic at our next Brickmania Toyworks Open House on Thursday, November 7th, from 5-9pm. Our open house is free and we have tons of great displays built by Brickmania and other local LEGO enthusiasts. Brickmania Toyworks is located at 1620 Central Avenue NE, suite 170, Minneapolis, MN 55413 (note our building address is on Central, but we actually have our own street entrance on the north side of the building near the intersection of 18th Ave and Jackson Street NE).
The finished mosaic will look like this, but MUCH bigger!
