Mantarri Posted August 4, 2021 Posted August 4, 2021 (edited) When I heard about this contest, I decided to look through the older technic sets, and stumbled upon the arctic line. 8660 "Arctic Rescue" stood out to me, and so I've worked on this on-and-off for the past month or so. Functions 4 Wheel Steering, with steering wheel in cabin and HOG Raising and lowering of ramp via side knob Snow dozer that may be stored in the Arctic Rescue Vehicle. (Added) Fake V4 engine driven via the center set of wheels Since I don't exactly have snow on hand, with it being around 30 Degrees Celsius, I opted to find a shady muddy area, and I think it worked rather well.

All in all, it's the best I could do with my collection of parts while trying to stick to the original colour scheme. I had to do grey for the ramp so that I had enough white panels for the hood and roof. While it may not be the most perfect recreation, it was a fun challenge, and was nice to work on something simpler. I wish LEGO would revisit more unique vehicles like this. The B Model is also quite interesting, and I was tempted to recreate that, but decided on the A model to try to fit in the HOG and in-cabin steering.
