[BB22] Guido's Personal APV

This slick ride is everything you will ever need in terms of armored transport.
It belongs to one minifig alone: Guido van Bossum.

Image
Guido had no easy childhood. Under the strict regime of his father, he did nothing but train and test. When he was old enough to leave the house, applying his skills in the real world was no success - he simply did not fit.

Using the very last of his money, Guido bought a 1976 threaded excavator from a junktrader with no arms. Working long days in construction was tough - most nights Guido slept in his vehicle. Slowly but surely, he saved money to do some heavy rigging. When the war broke out, he had saved up just enough to complete the drastic overhaul - his personal APV was born.

Image
Guido's personal custom APV, nicknamed Fury in Steel, combines speed with heavy armor and decent firepower.

Image
The medium guns mounted on the back are the APV's first line of defense and can be used to fend off big foes or groups of smaller enemies. They provide 360 degrees of firing range for maximum usability in any situation.

Image
To increase speed and mitigate risk of mechanical problems during relocation, the guns completely fold into the back of the vehicle.

Image
The APV specializes in combat in densely populated areas, where speed and maneuverability are key.

Image
When the Fury in Steel is in dire need of extra firepower, it lowers the section of armor in its nose to expose a quadruple rocket launcher for some short-range heavy damage output.

Image
Even when under heavy fire, the APV ensures the safety of all passengers. Guido is protected by thick plates of steel, while the APV's heavy wheels are mounted on reinforced axes.

Image
On safe and sunny days, Guido opens the hood of his APV to show everyone how happy he is with his unique ride.

The boast: not only did Guido design and build his slick ride in under 5 hours, he had to do so using a medium-sized collection of completely unsorted LEGOs. Some serious bindigging (and luck) was involved to collect the parts required to realise his personal APV. Additionally, the threads on the build are estimated to be over 40 years old, and not a single link has broken in all that time.

All of the classic pieces used in this build definitely give it a nice defined style that I can get behind, and I look forward to more like this!

I can make this man. I can let him touch the butt. I cannot promise his safety
