MOC Bandit

[sofo13th]

Hi!

This is The Bandit Hummvy (Hi-Mobility Multi-Purposed Wheeled Vehicle - HMMWV) from the Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within.

In this model, I tried to get as close to the original design and still fill the model functionality.

Weapon rotate at the base.

For work suspension need rubbers between the selected elements.

Scale - about 1:30. A little too big for minifigs. :)

While I consider The Spirits Within to be Final Fantasy in name only and a rather lame movie, I will admit it had some cool power armor and vehicles in it, and you did an excellent job of re-creating the Bandit.

Personally, I don't really see anything wrong with the scale you used.

I think you could definitely scale this down for the minifigures, but I don't know what the original model is supposed to look like.

Interesting shape, pretty cool!

Looks nice. I haven't seen Spirits Within, but it looks good from the pictures I found on google. Nice suspension design too. Doesn't look like the front wheels turn though, a bit disappointing. Otherwise, great MOC.

I keep forgetting that this movie for almost 10 years, and many do not see it. So a few pictures of original taken from the "Final Fantasy Wiki". This article is about the Bandit

Hope I didn't break the forum rules. :)

I chose this transport because it's cool looks: open body, 4 passenger seats in the cabin, a lot of curved surfaces. And as a result under suspension has very little space. So there is a semblance of turning wheels. And the fact that the rotation of the front wheels are not very big, so it's even good on the contrary, otherwise the wheels touching body. :)

I can offer a more compact and more workable variant:

True, I still think how to make a output turning control from this axles.
