I have a brother that would love this. Will a parts list be coming sometime? I'm just really looking to reproduce this. has anyone ever done a humvee?

Yea, the Assyrians are in dire need of a light vehicle, but it can't be all ghetto like the Czech Death Cars and whatnot. It has to be sophisticated like this thing.

So it's the bottom of the minifigure's feet that keep him in the turret? That's different.

most of my turrets are standing/siting, its way easyer.

Okay, here's my interpretation of the Jaguar... I present to you the Ceres Assault Car:

The Assyrian version of the jaguar has some differences between itself and the one used by the Riot forces. Most obviously, the Ceres variant has an automatic gun turret rather than a manned one. This makes it more efficient because enemies can't just shoot the turret's operator.

The Ceres doesn't have a spare tire on the back. It has different tires from front to back so a spare wouldn't make as much sense as it does on the original. This lets the Ceres save a bit of weight.

This version is also more heavily armed. It has hidden gun emplacements on both sides, as opposed to just one. Also, the turret is dual-barreled, making it twice as deadly.

There you can see the dual gun mounts.

Because there is no side door the driver must exit through the roof hatch.

Since the rear turret is automated the Assyrians had to incorporate a targeting computer. Here you can see its radar screen behind the steering wheel. This way the driver can focus on the road and fire only the side weapons while the computer takes care of other targets.

That's all!!

Replace the machine gun with a rocket launcher and you should be good. You also have the smoke screen launchers so that gives yours an advantage too.

After being inspired by this I made a car too but it is open topped, more of a jeep.

It has an MG and two rockets.

Pics should be up in a few days.
