My latest.

The idea, I’ve always liked smaller vehicles so I had this ASP body I had it the seat out of years ago for some other project that I scrapped. I decided to put a set of Persuader wheels on it. Next thing you know it’s a full build. It’s got Sea Ray cannons on the front that can raise up and down. The front lights are actually dead batteries and the rest of it is scratch built. Unlike most of my projects I actually tried to make this look a bit like a Frog yet still believable as a vehicle.
It’s steers like a Tank so no steering wheel just joysticks on either side. It’s amphibious so it also as a boat propulsion system underneath. Image
The start of the build. Image

Looks great. I love small vehicles too (the Weapons Transport is my favorite) and this one ticks off all the proper boxes. My only worry with this one is the use of the batteries. I worry they will eventually start to corrode on you.

The only thing I think this needs is a snorkle mufler like you see on jeeps and land cruisers, but two up and out the bck where the engine is so it makes that wet muffled engine sound as it moves through the water...like a frog.

No need for a snorkel as it has impellers underneath. I forgot to show that. Have to update my post.

Here’s the underside, It looks like an exhaust but they idea is they are impellers like a jet boat. Maybe I will add a snorkel as well, I don’t know

I agree, I feel a snorkel could be added to it, but it doesn't have to be in the 'engaged' mode. Maybe a windshield wiper style pre-deployment snorkel would work, laying flush against the outer skin.

To deploy, it just swivels up and good to go.

I also second the 'Horny Toad' desert version.

Now if you had one that climbed up using articulated legs, it would be a Tree FROG. Even a Dreadnok colors one would look great, because there are very vibrant colored frogs in various environments.

Jet boat impellers works for me.
