I often work on the insides with the roof off because it's easier, but after putting the roof back on I realised I had to drop the roof down one thick brick (3 flats to all you AFOLs)
I also reworked the very front of the main body to reflect the styling of the actual SRV.
Assembled everything in place to give a nearly-finished render:
The main body houses a track system that a turret will sit on top, dragging it forward upon request. Here you can see how the roof opens up to reveal the insides:
The track will also flip up to allow access to deeper inside the main body
I'll be installing the battery pack and motors on the floor of the main body, so access to them has been incoporated into my design. I also found some parasols that fit the wheel rims perfectly.

Great stuff, moving along nicely!!!
What are the rough dimensions? Also do you have a brick count?
What are the rough dimensions? Also do you have a brick count?
it's currently around 2,000 pieces, and 64 bricks long by 44 wide, and 36 (give or take) bricks high
or 499.2mm by 343.2mm by 345.6mm
or roughly 50cm by 34cm by 35cm

Inside gearing is 95% complete. LDD is a pain in the cargo hatch to position chain links so I'm leaving those off the design. I've marked where they will go. Also LDD doesn't have my model of motor so that's been left out too, however I'm fairly confident that I can fit them in the space.
Final touches over the next few days, should be complete real soon, then ordering parts and draining my bank account!

Its quite depressing when you look at the final costs of parts. As you go its like "its only 1 centime" only to wind up spending thirty Euro.

Awesome. So, now someone also needs to make two cargo canisters to scale to check they fit inside? And just to chuck a spanner in the works, where did you say the cargo hatch was?
It's located in the same space as in-game. A magical one that no-one can seeAnd just to chuck a spanner in the works, where did you say the cargo hatch was?

I used to have one of these:
Back in the day when attention to detail was a thing. Ah well, they don't make 'em like they used to. Kids these days. Get off my lawn. Where am I?

Touché.
Funnily enough I was thinking last night while material collecting that the cargo hatch makes no sense. I was collecting a lot of the materials through my windshield as I had to boost up to get them!
(It's ok though. It's a game...)
I had that too
Those new front struts are much better. I'm wondering how much this is going to cost me when you post your final build?
The model is looking great so far!

While waiting on Lego to get back to me about my rather large order of parts, I went and designed an ikkle baby SRV. This one has a rotating turret and can carry a massive 2T of cargo!
The wheel at the back turns the turret on top, and the side hatch opens up to store the cargo

Wow, you could start a mini ELITE Advent Calendar with a mini build for each day....
That’s lovely!!!
For the wheel inserts on the biggie, have you tried the printed solid grey Tie Fighter cockpit cover dish?

Not heard of those ones, I'll look them up!

I need this as my desk toy...
