So this is a bit of a first for me - the Ice Dagger marks the first of my G.I.Joe builds that take their inspiration from a toy from the lesser know and more recent "Valor vs Venom" line, rather than the "A Real American Hero" line that I'm most familiar with.
I will likely get to a few more of these later-era vehicles, as I now realize that some of them are really quite nice, but I don't plan to build most of them. Ice Dagger by Magnus-L, on Flickr Front view by Magnus-L, on Flickr Gunner and Commander hatches open by Magnus-L, on Flickr Rear by Magnus-L, on Flickr Troop compartment interior by Magnus-L, on Flickr The Ice Dagger is basically a upsized skimobile and it ended up a little larger than I expected, in part because of the canopy I ended up using. I've built a good number of winter vehicles for the Joes, but they were still missing a dedicated troop transport, and with a little modification to the rear compartment, the Ice Dagger fit the bill nicely. I'm especially happy with the hatches I designed for the two crew members in front, which fold outwards and the third hatch behind the MG. My Arctic building spree is nearing its end, but I'm not quite done yet. I have at least one more vehicle on its way in winter colors. Last edited by Stormgard; 05-14-2020 at 08:21 PM.. |

That's really cool! The Ice Dagger, and Ice Sabre before it, are real gems of the JVC and ME era. Always liked that vehicle because of its versatility, with its multiple gunner's seats, rear storage and missile launcher. Your Lego build captures that versatilty well.

I dig it, and you're right, there are definitely a few gems in that era. I'd love to see your take on the Grizzly and Night Attack Chopper. Keep up the good work!

The Grizzly is definitely going to happen at some point, although I want to get through most of the ARAH era armor first. The Night Attack Chopper is a strong probable too (eventually). Thank you for the suggestions and kind words.
