The Wolverine was one of my first AFVs and probably not my best; although I came up with some SNOT contruction for the top that I quite like, and I'm happy with the turret. I've never been quite satisfied with the front though.
The Wolverine is an anti-armor mobile missile launcher and basically a modified Wolf AFV. I'd like to build another MOC in arctic Camo some time soon.

The Armored Fighting Vehicle 140 is the primary infantry fighting vehicle of the Svalandic Army designed by Gröntfält Heavy Industries. The vehicle boasts a 30mm cannon with option to mount Hrunting-2 Anti-tank missiles. The vehicle features 7 seats for dismounted infantry in addition to 3 crew.

The Panhard AML (called the AML 245 by Panhard) 60/90 is a light armoured car with permanent 4×4 drive for mobility. It can carry either a 90mm quick-firing low-pressure gun as in the example above, or a 60mm breech-loading mortar as the primary weapon, although firing such a large gun from such a small vehicle requires care, particularly if planning to fire off the central axis.
During the 1950s, the French Army used the Daimler Ferret armoured car in large numbers but decided to build their own and Panhard started the production of the AML in 1960. Some 4,000 have been completed and manufacture continues for the export market. The AML 60/90 have been sold to over 30 countries. In addition to the French production, 1,300 AML 60/90 were built under licence by South Africa under the name of Eland 60/90.
This vehicle, seen in the older halls at the Tank Museum at Bovington, is a captured Argentine example. It was one of 12 the Argentines deployed to the Falkland Islands after they had invaded in 1982. However, the terrain was so bad that they were confined pretty much to the (very few) paved roads in the capital, Stanley.

I think the idea is to start a fire in the burning barrel (in the engine compartment) to heat the water in a tank in the trunk which will generate steam to drive the rear wheels. I wonder if this would qualify for the government's $7500 alternative fuel credit? I might have to make this guy an offer.
