Post by Matt » Tue Mar 18, 2008 8:48 am

I built this a ways back, but never got around to showing it off, so here it is!
Image
This beastie is taking up about half my dark grey, but I think its worth it.
being able to hold 14 troops and 3 pilot-ish people.(thats 17 total)
15 in the the APC itself and two in the turret above.(which does rotate by the way)
Image
As you can see there are a few working functions.....
Image
Now I only have 9 troops stuffud into there right now but I didn't want them to look too squshed.
Normaly I'd have 13 troops stuffed in there but I had to use the extra four for my Sand Puma.
Stats,
Armor: 3d10
Move: 8"
Weapons,
Main cannon,
Use: 7
Range: 16"
Damage: 2d10 explosive
Heavy Machinegun: still no stats.....

I'd hardly call it "boxy", especially considering how closely it resembles the real thing. Very nice job.

Your building skillz continue to astound me. Pretty awesome, eh?
Often, literally, a pillow fight but may include similar situations like volleyball, particularly when wardrobe is skimpy and the action is bouncy.

The real thing is actualy this see wheels not treads! I actualy saw about 5 of those driving by on the road a few weeks back.
They didn't have any of big turret on top but there was a troop manning a large machinegun! :)

Yeah at first I thought it was an LAV-25, but it's missing some wheels and the turret is more centered. And it's much much too big. I know this because I worked out the dimensions and made two of them. And then left them at home when I went to college... and never picked them back up...

Anyways, the actual LAV-25 looks like this:
