Welcome to Brick By Design
​Brick By Design is a independent family run online store.
We create and sell Lego® kits based on many eras from modern history such as, World War II and recently the Cold War.
All our kits come with PDF instructions sent via email. We use genuine Lego® bricks which are of the highest quality. And have our own custom Sticker Elements to add further detail to our kits. With many features, our models are perfect for photography or Lego® military mocs/builds. The majority of our kits are in 1/45 scale so they are a suitable size to be used along side Lego® minifigures.

Our Story
From a Lego® lover to a business owner, Ethan, founded Brick By Design in 2023 after many years of collecting Lego® sets.
Ethan's passion for Lego® started when he was four years old with a small Star Wars set and over time the hobby grew and grew. He found a love for the Star Wars sets including sets like: The Star Destroyer, AT-AT, and soon progressing to more expensive UCS sets like the Razor Crest. Then being introduced to modern history events, like World War II, he began to build custom tanks and models, which he then decided to start selling.
And then Brick By Design was born.
​
The website started small only offering a few Lego® World War II tanks and scenes. But after a few months the business began to grow exponentially, reaching more fans and collectors like himself. So new products were designed and built to help to education a new generation of Lego® fans about modern history events.

Our Evolution



These are the very first few models. Our early models were large and not in 1/45 scale and didn't contain as many features as our latest models. Most of these World War II models are retired now and are unavailable to buy.
​
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
Then our designs improved as new building techniques were developed to elevate our models. Our packaging also changed because we made custom boxes and artwork. The models evolved into proper kits.​
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
To today, where our kits have higher piece counts and contain custom Sticker Elements which add more realism to our tanks. We are constantly expending to more eras such as the Cold War and World War I.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
