Thanks! It does have similarities but in fact my inspiration came from the Al Fahd:

As per your requests, more info about the construction of the chassis:


The blue tecnic pin of the front wheel's axis connects under the engine block which itself snaps under the controls.



The frame doesn't require that much parts, which is a good thing.
The holes could be filled but I like the amount of space inside and they're barely visible once the APC is fully assembled anyway.
( * Some briks are missing on the top one * )



The arch pieces give a lot of room for the wheels to move up and down.



Stress tests




The Peacekeeper includes a lot of features to increase playability: Tools, weapon racks, headlights, plenty of room and grips all around, four exits,...



I wanted to build an APC using the wheels of the Lego Earth Defense HQ and honestly I'm very satisfied with the results.

Freaken awesome. Great job!

what do you use for the cockpit piece? and thank you very much for instructions

Too many people have to sacrifice functionality for looks, but this is a good balance between the two.

Windows from the Malibu Mansion Attack.

I love all the paint additions to the spoiler pic shadow

Yeah the back is very simple but I find it so efficient.

This should clear things about the front part.

Then the engine connects to the rest of the chassis.



There you see the other end of the single blue tecnic pin used in the assembly.

Awesome, tell me, is this going to be featured in your forum battle

Jesus H. Christ, that's an amazing vehicle.

Scratch that, those are two amazing vehicles.

My god . . . its beautiful.

Many thanks, old chappe.

I did not even know that the bottom of the modified 2x2 brick with pin connects with technic axles. This, this changes everything!

I am sure Natalya will agree when she see's this - pinning this topic for awesome build technique, layout, style and aesthetic.

. . . or I would if I somehow had not lost my ability to pin posts. Dah hell mang?

This...this puts all of mine to shame.

Very well done, I love it.
