Precise Proportions
My top goal in this new LEGO design was to accurately recreate the size, angles, and proportions of the real gun. I used an extensive amount of photos, diagrams, video, and other research to meticulously check the brickbuilt model against the original.
Moving Features
While designed primarily for visual realism and aesthetic value, the LEGO Vz. 61 still has plenty of ‘working’ functions. These include a pull-back trigger, foldout wire stock, ambidextrous charging handle, look-down iron sights, removable magazine, and sliding safety switch.
Fun to Experience
The machine pistol’s grip is comfortable, and the model is sturdy enough to hold-and-point at any angle. A variety of innovative building techniques come into play, including a sideways transition between the grip and receiver, that make the replica model even more realistic and interesting to look at for both LEGO fans and gun enthusiasts.
