Currently, Team KB (Kiwibricks) consists of a small team of friends and family who are looking to produce the highest quality & value military themed building kits using the medium of LEGO® and its various building systems, to offer a middle ground between high-quality, highly detailed, and highly printed models, and affordable, low-cost and easily accessible models for all demographics in the LEGO® community.

 

Founded by Jack Smith, Kiwibricks was born after his entry into the LEGO® military community, after discovering the community during the boredom brought on during the first COVID Lockdown in New Zealand. Originally posting much simpler MOCs than compared to those seen as kits or digital renders now, these builds, include builds of aircraft such as the Avro Lancaster, B-17, P-51D, and C-47 Dakota. These builds quickly advanced in quality as he adopted Stud.io as his primary format for designing builds, removing physical and part restrictions when designing whatever came to mind. Currently, he has designed pieces of military equipment from a range of recent historical eras and conflicts, with a major focus on the Second World War and the modern conflicts that followed it. 

​

Since then, he has gone on to design multiple models for sale via Kiwibricks, alongside multiple commissions for both individuals and companies, with one, in particular, resulting in a massive batch of 50 kits being sent out to multiple industry leaders in the field that our client resided in, a proud achievement for Kiwibricks. Jack has also gone on to design two kits so far for Brickmania®, using the profits from the sale of these designs to directly fund the next Kiwibricks kits.

 

Since then, Kiwibricks has released multiple sets representing vehicles of the SAS, aircraft of the RNZAF and minifigures produced by ourselves and by United Bricks©, all while attending and selling at the Christchurch Brick Show - the largest brick show in New Zealand - displaying our products and MOCs to the public to help inspire more into this niche of the LEGO® community.

​

We aim to continue to push the boundaries of the LEGO® brick and how we can use it to represent equipment that shaped the world that we see today, finding ways to capture the most intricate details and to educate those who purchase our products about the importance of this equipment and the people that used it.
