Sorry for my rare update lately!
Once again a collaboration with Specters Scepter gives me an inspiration to do something I never really thought of. Improvemens needed: turning wheels and suspension. And I'm not really happy with how those windows turned much darker than expected.
Features:
-small turret, fully functioning and with radom (!);
-"butterfly" door mechanism, looking like a real hatch and giving a full access to the drivers minifig;
-part of the roof and back door open separately, so you could pose your minifigs, take them out of there, or just open only the door just like IRL pretending it's not a toy ^_^ ;
-there are several gun holders inside (four, I guess);
-the motor hood is designed to open, but the motor itself is a bit poor looking ^_^ .
Oh, and I made it to match my "Shamrock" Heavy Tank (Тяжелый Танк "Клевер")
P.S. И пусть я сам не из России, я буду и дальше иногда собирать русскую футуристическую военную технику, так что не удивляйтесь)) Спасибо, что остаетесь со мной!
Baseline Vehicle, short, open cargo bed.
The JMTV is the latest generation of protected multi-purpose vehicles for the US armed forces and entered service with all branches in 2026. It is produced by Bae Systems and Lockheed Martin.
The JMTV project's purpose was to combine the versatility of the Humvee with the high degree of protection offered by MRAP vehicles. At the same time, the modular design does not only allow one vehicle to fulfill a multitude of roles, but it also cuts down on cost per unit, maintenance-hours and replacement-parts.
So I've decided to build yet another model before properly photographing the other three already built... Typical.
Anyways, this is a MRAP style vehicle. Not totally sold on the windshield area, still have to do the back, and the headlights are bleh.
While the vehicle is still in the trial phase with both European and North American forces, the versatile polecat platform is continuously being marketed. While the basic variant does fill in the role of an armored HMMWV very well, the chassis served as a basis for other vehicles, like the new Zeus Fennek and is so versatile that multiple variants are being offered. Seen here is the Polecat Special Forces GMV, as well as a heavily armored variant for high-risk environments.
I played around with the design some more and while going through my reference folder I cam across the Bae Valanx contender for the JLTV, which directly inspired the Heavy Duty Polecat. Now if only I could figure out a way to make the chassis height adjustable like on the real thing...

Another joint upload with Matt. And huge props to Magnus for letting us borrow his larger MLS dio for a few minutes!
An Ormond Beach Police Department (OBPD) International MaxxPro MRAP on display at the National Night Out event in Ormond Beach, Florida. This vehicle was sent to the agency through the Department of Defense's 1033 surplus program that provides local law enforcement with important life-saving equipment, saving the agency thousands of dollars a year on otherwise hard-to-obtain and expensive gear.

moved into new apartment and i don't have a lot of lego pieces right now. this is what i built with the parts i have. i was thinking about the vehicles from death stranding and the csat mrap from arma 3. this thing has suspension on all the wheels, seats two figures, the doors and the trunk open.
A brand-new military-grade MRAP behind the Florida Highway Patrol Troop D Headquarters in Orlando, Florida. The FHP provides the primary SWAT team in the state of Florida, able to serve warrants and other issues anywhere throughout the entire state. The SWAT team is comprised of the FHP with members of surrounding local and state agencies such as the FWC. The MRAP, a $500,000 vehicle in value, was aquired through a military surplus program for under $2,000.
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.
The RG31 series of vehicles were designed in South Africa by Land Systems OMC, developed from the Mamba APC. It is used by the militaries of 12 countries as well as by a number of private security firms and aid organisations. The vehicle's popularity stems from its range of application, its non-threatening aesthetics and proven 20 year record of service.
This model represents a Mk5A1, which is the most prevalent variant of the vehicle found in the US Army. The US also operates the earlier Mk3 and the extended Mk5E - the latter gaining preference among the USMC. The vehicle has space to safely accommodate up to 8 people in the non-extended format, whereas the Mk5E can carry up to 10 personnel.
The hull shape and half-stud offsets for the windows proved to be quite taxing, when designing this model. The result of some of the issues I had when designing the vehicle means that it looks slightly too bulky. From experience, designing MRAPs, I have found them to be much more complicated than other vehicles, mainly due to the need to include windows and quite complex shapes on the front of the vehicle. Consequently, a lot of the techniques involved "under-the-hood" are as intricate as those I use on my helicopters!
In addition to the Mk5A1, I have also modelled a Mk5E. Instructions for both models are on sale for £5.00 (both variants will be included) or foreign equivalent.
I really lack for words now... Looks like an ordinary armored vehicle, I guess. Bits of futuristicness somewhere... That's exactly what I was aiming for! Features:
-two opening doors, big opening hatch on the back and a good access inside through the opening roof;
-two small opening motor hoods with some poor detailing inside ;) ;
-suspension and steering of the front wheels, I had to sacrifice that suspension of the back wheels though to make this stuff fit six minifigs at once;
-yeah, that's right, it fits six minifigs with their helmets on.

VBC Security Contributor William Parker and I participated in a presence patrol when a Coalition force vehicle struck an improvised explosive device, or IED. The casualties were evacuated to the Role 3 Hospital and all survived.
After a brief stay at the Role 3 Hospital, I was told that I would be able to rejoin with my colleague William Parker at Forward Operating Base Spade. I was given permission to ride with an Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) section from 5 Combat Engineer Regiment, Royal Victorian Engineers that has been ordered to provide support to India Company at FOB Spade.
I traveled with Master Corporal Henry, Corporal Manda, and Corporal Felix in the Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicle, or MRAP. We chatted about their experience so far.
“It’s been a surprising slow tour so far,” said Corporal Manda, “On my previous tour here in this region, our EOD team would be going out regularly. But this is actually the first time we have been send out during this tour.”
“I think the operation last fall really made a difference,” said Master Corporal Henry, “That operation really cut off the insurgent’s weapons supply.”
“Can you tell me a bit more about the operation?” I asked.
“[Laugh] I don’t know how much I can tell you,” said Master Corporal Henry. “There was a major operation last September where they halted the flow of weapons and munitions into the region. And you can really see the difference since then as we are seeing far less IEDs on the roads. The insurgents also resort to hit-and-run tactics, where they take a shot at our convoy and immediately hide.”
“So, there are no large-scale attacks then?” I asked.
“Not since last September,” Corporal Felix. “We still have regular contact with insurgents but not large-scale attacks.”
After a day-long drive, we arrived at FOB Spade where I rejoined with my colleague William Parker. Our reunion was brief, however, as India Company and the engineers got ready for a route clearance operation on the next day.
The next morning, we departed the FOB and headed back to the same route where our convoy was struck with an IED.
The convoy inched slowly along the route. Just shortly after noon, the vehicle-mounted mine detection (VMMD) vehicle detected a device. The Combat Engineers immediately got to work to disarm it. They initially sent out the remote-control vehicle, however, one of the vehicle’s wheels was caught with a rock and was disabled. Without hesitation, Master Corporal Henry dawn the bomb suit, walked down and diffused the device.
After the explosive device was diffused, we continued on with the route clearance operation. The engineers did not find anything further along the route and we returned back to FOB Spade as the sun began to set.
As we got back to FOB Spade, our time with India Company, Royal Victorian Infantry has come to an end. The next morning, we returned back to Camp Oasis through a resupply flight where we prepared for our travel to the Middle East and embedded with another unit from the 5 (Armoured Infantry) Brigade.
VBC will continue to bring you our stories.

General view. The MRAP Cougar JERRV 6x6 is a vehicle which incorporated the latest US-made automotives, a new hull design and structure, as well as built-in growth potential, including dimensions that allowed for the addition of the latest armor and protection systems. JERRV stand for Joint EOD Rapid Response Vehicle or Joint Engineering Rapid Response Vehicle, while MRAP stand for Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected. This vehicle, therefore, combines the best that the two programs provide. The result is a versatile, robust vehicle, suitable for every situation. Some feature are a vertical hull side to increase internal volume, a full-length bottom plate to increase strength and to provide blast and ballistic protection for the engine, full US-specification engine, cooling, power-train etc., sufficient payload to provide ballistic-protection upgrades and so on. Ergonomics were based upon first-world standards as were protection levels and automotive specifications.
A short while ago, I uploaded a model of the US Cougar HE. However, the dimensions I had used to build it included the cage armour and turret found on the British variants. Mine filled this area but had no cage, so it was a bit too big. This is the 1/31 scale corrected Cougar which is 4 studs shorter, 3 plates lower and 2 studs narrower than its predecessor.
The Cougar is a huge MRAP (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected) designed to keep its occupants alive even in the most explosive of situations. Its V-shaped hull and heavy armour help it to do this while its height keeps troops far from the ground.
As for the model, it has fully independent rear suspension, semi-independent suspension and steering at the front, open turret, 4 opening doors and roof hatches.
Instructions for sale at £5.00 or foreign equivalent.
The Mk. V version of the NDC's Dragoon APV.
The Dragoon APV’s standard armament is the M226 Sentry RWS turret, fitted with a .50 cal GPMG. The Dragoon has room for four personnel, including the driver, in the crew cabin. An additional two passengers can be carried in the vehicle’s cargo compartment in the rear, although this area is normally used for equipment and/or supplies.

A Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) MRAP (Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected) Vehicle at the FHP Troop D Headquarters in Orlando, Florida. The FHP ordered multiple surplus MRAPs from the US Military, one for each Troop HQ, in mid to late 2016 in direct response to the Pulse nightclub shooting in downtown Orlando to allow troopers and officers to engage armed gunmen. The vehicles were worth about $500,000 each but purchased by FHP for about $2,000 each.

Continuing the theme of garden plants names for "russian" fictional military stuff that was a bit distracted by the "Fenrir". I know it sounds strange for a MRAP-like stuff, but I like it)) The front of this strongly reminds me of Range Rover. Two modifications of it: with and without turret, but the model is still the same. Features:
-four side doors made with a slight offset for easier opening and allowing four minifigs placed insige the cabin;
-openable motor hood and poorly detailed motor inside ^_^ ;
-openable back door with a place for one or two dead minifigs in the mod with no turret or for some guns or other small stuff in the one with turret;
-roof made in such a way so that it could be detached easily do get a better accsess to minifigs (I was lazy to make a joint connection this time);
-fully functional turret with a hatch for a shooter (where it takes place).
Back then we didn't even know what started this. We were soldiers, we were told to fight and so we did. No questions asked. We turned our cites into ruins, we scorched our woods and fields. The sound of raging steel filled the air, fears and sufferings drenched our hearts and bled them dry. Somebody once said that war never changes... That was such a lie! Throughout our history we'd learned how to kill each other and we grown too damn skilled in this.
That was the year 2110 and now it's really hard to say who was the first to attack. It seemed the world suddenly turned into a nightmare, many big cities were swept away within the first couple hours, only the most recently developed countermeasures saved our planet from endless nuclear winter. Every nation stood to fight, every nation had to choose sides. And out of a sudden everything became awfully simple: follow the orders, kill or you'll get killed. And don't ask questions! And we never asked. If we only knew!
Now, looking back at those days, I'd say we fought for nothing. But who could ever understand how valuable our peace is without paying the price for it?
Another HUMMVEE-like 8-stud jeep of mine, had it as a WIP for quite a while, but found time to revisit and finally finish it. Doesn't really look like a sci-fi, exept for maybe motor, but you won't even see it on this pic :P Fits six (seven if you try really hard) minifigs and ah, it has no turret! Roof has two openable sections, also there is a back hatch with a big window. Features both steering and suspension.
I really feel like putting all of my MRAPS and stuff into one pic so you could see just how many I have built))
The front of this Dragoon VI FCV is slightly different from the standard versions. Being part of the NDC task force in Al-Dabir in the Middle East, a filter has been installed in the grille to prevent fine grains of sand clogging up the engine.
Well, actually it's because cheese grates don't come in tan, but whatever...

The Mk.V version of the NDC's Dragoon APV.
Though heavily armoured the Dragoon is by no means underpowered. Standard powerplant is a 350hp hybrid electric engine with 930 Nm of torque – a compact derivate of the engine in the XA-290 APC.
The Oshkosh MRAP All-Terrain Vehicle (or M-ATV) was developed specifically to be used by US and NATO troops in the mountains of Afghanistan, first entering service in 2009. Although it is much larger, since then it has completely replaced the venerable Humvee in front line service as the American military's primary utility and patrol vehicle.
