As many of you know, I received my BBVC prizes, including a minigun and ammo chain! I made sure to incorporate them into the first MOC I could.

Without further ado, the Desert APC!




It's the same size as my LRV, but it's closer to minifig scale, so it looks much larger. Here's a view of the troop compartment.



I contemplated the compartment for a long time, and I decided that it looked more intimidating, if a bit unrealistic, with an open troop bay. Tell me what you think!

The minigun:



The blast shield is held on by resting the droid arm elbow in the handle mounting hole, and by squeezing the arms together along the plates.

I kind of cheated with the cabin: there's no interior. This is partially because the driver wouldn't really be seen anyway, and partially to allow for more space in the troop bay. I was, however, able to put a moveable blast shield on the window.



...And one last action shot with my DPV:



That's it! Comments and suggestions welcome!

Awesome! I love the minigun also, and just the overall coolness just radiates from this. I notice it looks remotely similar to a halftrack also.

Great job with that APC, despite the fact that the whole front piece was from MEGABLOKS! But seriously, good job.

Thanks, but that part is 100% LEGO. It was from a Dino Attack set, but its in the new Lamborghini set, too.
