View of the crew compartment, as well as the rear ramp. The vehicle commander has access to a handful of digital screens, but all the weaponry is generally crew served. Remote weapons stations would be far too expensive for a force made up of rather expendable conscripts.
Beginning to get back into modelling this year, since being more free with my time. This is my first trial into a Cougar HE MRAP, hope you enjoy the restart of my uploads.
More to come in the next few weeks, suggestions to modern combat vehicles to construct (using tan) would be appreciated.
Hello All!
I thought I try this, I'm going to be selling instructions for some MOCs such as the "Puma" CLR, "Margay" Scout Vehicle, and the "Lynx" MRAP.
I'll be selling them individually each for $4. PM me for details and if you would like to purchase, and I'll respond as fast as I can.
Thanks!
Apologies for the poor quality photo here, but was still able to get a photo capturing all of them.
An updated photo of my 'recent' military build collection of primarily United States Armed Forces vehicles. Once I am actually able to find a location with a better setting for photos and borrow a friends camera, I will be able to then provide clearer photos of each.
feel free to ask any questions you may have on the builds.
I'm currently back to school and busy as hell, but I spent a few free hours this last week playing around a bit (more) with my Dragoons - and I like where this is going.

An overall shot of the most common variants of the Oshkosh MRAP-All Terrain Vehicle. As the US Military's primary utility vehicle, there are dozens of different configurations of this vehicle in use, although many are unofficial modifications made by troops in the field.

If anyone would like to try their hand at creating their own variant, I usually have no problem sending out the LDD file.
The Cougar is an American infantry mobility vehicle designed to be resistant to anti-vehicle mines and improvised munitions (MRAP).
It is a family of armored vehicles produced by Force Protection Inc, which manufactures ballistic and mine-protected vehicles. The automotives are integrated by Spartan Motors.[2] These vehicles are protected against small arms, land mines and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) using a combination of design features and materials to protect both the crew and engine compartment against a wide range of attacks. A Monocoque type, V-shaped hull extends to the engine bay and serves to direct the blast away from under the vehicle. The dual air-conditioners help keep heavily dressed troops from overheating in temperatures over 100 °F (38 °C) in Iraq. The Cougar comes in two configurations, a 4×4 and 6×6. It is designed for the transport and protection of troops and equipment, especially against mines or IEDs.
This model was especially hard to build, because the real one is 9 feet wide, so I had to recreate that here, which was incredibly hard. But I managed it, in the end.
As with everything we build, there is a certain degree of abstraction to it, since, well, it's still bricks. So out of curiosity I decided to do some quick concept-art for what the JMTV might look like IRL.
I made this back in September, just hadn't uploaded it here yet.
Still not done =P
From left to right:
AMPV 1, easily airliftable and internally carryable in larger helicopters while maintaining crew-protection and mobility.
AMPV 2, Standard patrol version. The armored cell extends from the cabin to the cargo-area, more internal room and heavier.
AMPV VIP. Special forces variant of the AMPV, made to look like a civilian SUV, while maintaining the same armor as the standard version. Used for covert ops and VIP extraction. Can be fitted with a retractable and disguised weapon-station in the cargo-area.
Developed by Rheinmetall and Porsche, the AMPV family-members fill the position of a light but extremely well-protected patrol and recon-vehicle, in the gap between the heavier Eagle and Dingo MRAP vehicles, and the light Wolf G-Wagen family.
Some of the play features on the model, like an opening hood, removable engine, and opening doors. Four minifigs can fit inside, with room for cargo in the back of the truck. The roof turret can rotate 360 degrees, and the main gun can elevate from 60 degrees up to -10 degrees depression.

Being only slightly larger that the standard Polecat and the old Humvee, the Polecat HD uses the same chassis and a large amount of common parts to offer a higher degree of protection than the other variants for high-risk operating theaters. Easily transportable, it offers the first boots on the ground mobility and protection during critical mission phases.
Decided to upload this MRAP I built a little while ago. The shape was hard to get right but I'm happy with it! Enjoy!
US Army infantry disembark from an M-ATV along the road. Usually held every year in rural Virginia, training evolutions between armored and infantry forces are an important component of the BRICKFAIR series of exercises.

Another joint upload with Matt. And huge props to Magnus for letting us borrow his larger MLS dio for a few minutes!
Finally have time to set up all my vehicles and soldiers for display.
Took me several hours to line them up and putting the guns into the minifigs hands. So time consuming and tiring...
The army is armed with p90 with silencer , bullet proof vest, helmet and goggles.
The special forces are armed with British Assault Rifle L85A2 as their primary weapon. They are also armed with MP9 and P99 pistol.
This is the "Hummer" of the XXXI century. Yes, they still use shovels in the XXXI century. There's a place for five passengers if the fifth lies or for six if two of them are cramped in the back section (I stopped trying this in LDD, but I still believe it's possible) plus one (two seems to be nearly impossible) shooter. Four doors, one big hatch, motor hood and some big roof section including the windscreen - that's what can be opened here. Suspension is only on the front wheels and it is "not so much".
I think I like to build those 8-stud wide MRAPS much more than other vehicles... That should explain why I have much more of that stuff built.
Oh, and I added a flag :)
The ZFB-07 is one of the innumerable light armored vehicles in service with the Songun People's Army, or SPA. Relatively small and highly maneuverable, the ZFB-07 straddles the line between a utility vehicle, MRAP, and reconnaissance vehicle all wrapped in one.
Recently I had a chance to setup an improvised light-box for photos of some of my recent builds. Over the next week I will be uploading photos of some of the more "smaller" military builds that I have made during the later portion of this year. Enjoy the first of the series of models, the Cougar HE 6x6, spotted in my USAF photos, that I have 4 built.
*Not all models were able to fit inside it, and the lighting wasn't the best, nor the camera quality.
It's not Hummer, it hasn't even started as Hummer, it was Oshkosh ambulance MRAP that inspired this. Failed to put more futuristicness here.
Features:
-four opening doors, big hatch on the back and working motor hood (and even that motor it covers looks nice);
-fully articulated turret;
-three parts of the roof can be opened, so it's possible to get full access inside;
-there are eleven minifigs inside (!!): a driver, two medics, a patient on a stretcher and seven more soldiers;
-steering and suspension provided, but it requires some non-lego stuff like small coil springs (those from pens will do).
Just a compilation of different war machines made for my Chinese faction. Some of them were already shown to public, some weren't.
Disclaimer: I'm totally aware that this will never be made in these colors IRL and I don't even think any of these is ever going to be built for real. You don't have to remind me that every time ;)
I'm going to have some time "off the grid" so to say, but don't worry, I'll be back in two weeks or even sooner ^_^
Big military police vehicle used mainly by SWAT. Armed with an automatic turret, heavily armored and equipped with the latest AI, this is one of the most commonly used models. It is small enough to fit a crowded traffic of big cities and yet it has enough room for eight cops (or drones) and their driver.
Yes, this thing fits 9 minifigs, has some additional equipment inside and outside, three openable doors and a big rear hatch. Its motor hood and roof are also openable, and yet I'm pretty sure it's a sturdy model! And "last not least": steering + full suspension!
