The Dozer, Guerrilla Ski, and Mutiple Platform Engine.

Post by Gunney » Tue Feb 03, 2009 8:24 pm

Well, figuring as how I have <a href='http://tinyurl.com/y42zurt'>alot</a> more legoes, and im in desperate need of advice. I present to you my Dozer.

Image

Packing just enough slots to hold the Mechanik's tools, it has a very admirably cheap and unprotected design, used primarily to just move Blocks.
However, to keep up with the demand of Rapid attacking Heavy Hitting but relatively cheap on liquid brick fuel, I give you the Guerilla Ski.

Image

Using a Recoilless Rifle mounted onto a simple platform, the back blast is diverted away via a sturdy frame. Because, despite the low cost of hiring new soldiers and the cool body spray, sometimes we just need it to just fire twice.

Image

With Frame protecting but no main protection to the crew, the Cannon is the only thing standing between them and desruction.It has a crew of two, plus a third hitchiker that better have either Gas, Grass, or Brik.

Image

In the event of awesome explosive in the gunner or driver position, there is a emergency shotgun held in place Redneck style. Yeehaww!
Redneck: Dang gummit, My ride done broke. Fix'er up fer me partner.
Mechanik: Sorry, Can't, you need to call in...

Image

The MPE! Multiple Platform Engine, with its equipment to show a repair arm. able to lift the system onto its bay and repair it in no time at all!

Image

Sporting its very sleek but powerful design, this Repair Variant is also equipped with a nice cannon ontop for those pesky Minifigs who actually realize the Red Kross on the side was against Geneva. Mechanics don't count as Medics, despite popular belief.

Image

Originally equipped with a 50. Stud Machine Gun, the turret was modified to equip a much more impressive gun. Because machine guns are just so overated.

Serious Notes: Thats about all the vehicles I have. I do have 3 more, but, Ones a Mech. Ones a Helicoptor, a relatively cheap, cheesy one. And the last one, well two, are basically just four wheelers. So, ya know the drill. Tell me what I can add so I can see if I want to use it.
Remember, there are no such thing as Athiests in foxholes. There's also no such things as foxes in foxholes.

Blocky and simple. Yet functional. They win.

That's almost what I thought.

1st impression: They are nice.

2nd impression: Wait a minute, they are ugly.

3rd impression: No they are not.

1st impression: ugly and blockey
2rd impression:ok for a cheap mass produced
3rd impreddion: if made in little amount of time good if spent days on it then bad (not inclueding earching for bricks here)

i speed built concept ideas for viacles but then edit/rebuild parts to suit colour scemes or to simply make better.
