Pierce enemy lines with the Vector APC
Luis (TerremotoQuake) presents a sleek and deadly armored personnel carrier called the Vector. In addition to the ultra-smooth tiled exterior, the interior is just as immaculate. But purists beware, this APC seats non-LEGO army soldiers, seemingly chosen to show the smaller-than-minifig-scale of the creation.

Hmmm… This design looks familiar. Batman perhaps? Still cool though.

It’s very “Tumblery”, but it is also very cool.

Seems to only be very vaguely smaller than minifig scale. Kinda too bad, but to each their own — this is stylish armored ride.

The stand-ins are only a tad smaller (or more anatomically proportioned) than Lego figs, and the interior does appear to have good figonomics (my word for minifig ergonomics hehe ;) so for me, it’s a real shame there aren’t real minifigs in use – and if ever there was a sweet MOC that deserved custom figs, this is certainly one of them.

Definitely looks like the Tumbler.

I don’t like that you were so negative about the non-Lego soldiers, Nannan. It’s almost as if you’re saying to people “This is cool, but you should hate it.” Since when does TBB dig on MOCs? I don’t remember that happening before.
I don’t support the builder’s choice; but really, who cares? It’s not as if they’re an integral part of the MOC.

Very nice!
I like the turret and the canopies.

^^You’re the one being negative. “Purists beware” is a common cliché, and it’s a lot easier to read instead of something like “isn’t minifig scale”. And back to the actual MOC, my favorite part are those grille-slats on the side. Well played.

Grammatical purists beware. “Chosen” not “choosen.”

The soldiers are from Tente, a spanish “clone” of Lego.

I have fond memories of Tente because i played with it a lot and had lots of sets. It seems Lego was too expensive for my parents.
