“The Snow Cat is a missile-armed halftrack, optimized as a tank destroyer, but also capable of engaging certain low flying air targets. It carries four missiles in a rear-mounted box, as well as a pair of experimental ski-torpedoes. It is hampered by somewhat limited firepower and protection for its crew of two, but it has excellent range and mobility, and when it isn't hunting Cobra armored vehicles, it makes for an idea patrol and reconnaissance platform.”
Snow Cat - classic design by Magnus-L, on Flickr Untitled by Magnus-L, on Flickr "The G.I. Joe Battle Cat is a natural development of the classic Snow Cat, a simple and reliable all-terrain vehicle that has uses well beyond the arctic and mountain environs for which it was initially envisioned. It carries the same remote controlled turret as the Ice Dagger, with twin 20mm autocannons and four antiarmor missiles. The Battle Cat carries a crew of two, a driver/commander and a weapons operator." Battle Cat by Magnus-L, on Flickr "The G.I.Joe Sabertooth is a light self-propelled twin 88mm mortar system mounted on the tried and tested all-terrain Snow Cat chassis. Its small size limits its ammunition, but makes it easily deployable. It can fire a devastating salvo of shells and scoot off to a safe location by the time the last rounds hit target." Untitled by Magnus-L, on Flickr Big cats on the prowl by Magnus-L, on Flickr The Snow Cat was one of the first Joe vehicles I built, and at the time I gave it some extra firepower and intentionally made it bigger than the original, in order to make space for a crew of three. I've just revisited the Snow Cat in a version much closer to the look of the classic original. I’ve fit two figs sitting in the cab, by staggering them by a stud. This doesn’t give them much space inside at all, but I think it is worth it in that it has allowed me to shrink the vehicle down a lot.

I like how you used the bricks to make camo patterns.
