[MOC] Goliath Arctic Heavy Snowcat

[Veynom]

Here is the result of spending a few restful days at the seaside with a handful of arctic sets: the Goliath, a heavy arctic snowcat.

It is built from parts coming from the other arctic vehicles in order to combine some of their play features.

The Goliath is great at crossing any kind of difficult landscape:

The Goliath is packed with many features;

- forward cab to host the driver and an additional passenger with room for some equipment as well;

- large storage compartiment in the centre to put 2 crates;

- fully equipped lab at the rear side;

- tow cable;

- Plenty of powerful lights to enlighten the arctic night;

- remote camera on the roof;

- Additional storage locations around the vehicle to clip many different tools;

- radar and radio antennas.

I know making an arctic vehicle during summer and taking pictures on the beach is not perfect as background for the model, sadly, I can't change sand into snow. ;)

Arctic sets at the beach!? Now that's dedication!! Seriously, I really liked the recent Arctic theme and your crawler looks spot on!! The last pic makes it look suitably imposing!!

Nice work!

Looks good!

Great design and build that fits into the Arctic theme using their parts but puts Lego's designs to shame.

Looks awesome! A very elaborated build. One could think it is an actual set!

As for the sand: lets assume they just put a lot of grit everywhere, so noone slips

C’est très beau. Je pense qu’il sera utile dans les régions arctiques :)

It is very nice. I think it would be useful in Arctic regions :)

[Veynom]

Thank you all for the very nice comment. :)

This is a great build, have fun getting the sand out though

[Brickextreme]

This is awesome looking. I would also buy this set. You made it look convincing enough enough its sand.

I agree with Mesabi. You are going to have sand stuck in your crack! Umm...I hope I don't get banned for that one.
