Hopefully all of you aren't getting tired of my Nigorian figs and MOC, because I have yet another.

I wanted to make another one of my Nigorian army jeeps but found out I didn't have one of the pieces so I improvised and came up wtih this medic variant.

The one in the background is the original.

Anyways, there are 4 BA monopods used in the construction of the stretcher racks.











All comments are welcomed and greatly appreciated as always.

Thanks for looking,

-Ewok

Wow! These are amazing. The jeep is very shiny. How did you make the top of the other jeep? BTW, what's a Comnat Jeep? XD

your main target shouldn't be what you focus on most, but every other surrounding is what you should look at most.

I believe that it is a roll cage from the Power Miners sets.

Anyways, these are really great, it is always nice to variants of vehicles that are rarely made in Lego form. My only quibble with these is that they look a bit too much like a Willys Jeep. Other than that, they certainly look excellent in black.

EDIT: I stand corrected, the roll cage is custom made

Very cool, though I would think that in modern warfare, there would be helis to pick up the wounded and bring them to safety.

I go to the same school as Homeboy john, Joejoejoemo, and ODST. I LOVE THE BEATLES!!! THEY ARE MY FAVORITE BAND! copy this into your signature if you think the same :).

During the middle of a battle you are going to have a heli come in and get the men from the front?

Oh, and it is a custom made rollcage no the Power Miners one.

I guess you are right. I have never really seen a modern medic jeep but I see that you have a valid point. Either way still,it is a great jeep.

I know what you are saying about the Willys Jeep thing it's just that I liked the design of it so I tried to modernize it and shrink it down but it still looks like a Willys.

Thanks, patthwalker, but is there anything that you would suggest to change or try to improve. Besides the fact that they look like Willys.

I quite like these. As a die-hard M*A*S*H fan, these please me to no end. Very Willy's-ish. The black works well. Superb job.

Awesome build! Really amazed by your Nigorian army!
