Cool models! Fun + Functional ...They have a heavy duty, reinforced hull
look that conveys their purpose well...namely deployment of troops during
combat. I like the color scheme too...the standard gray is broken up nicely.
How many troops can you cram in each APC?
Having acquired a couple Imperial shuttles, I was working on a similar APC
design (except mine is ultimately a rip-off of the APC in a cancelled sci-fi
series called SPACE: ABove + beyond...don't know if you have seen it in Oz)
Your APCs remind a little of the ones in STarship troopers...

I like the detail on these models...black w/ intimidating lines, angles, and
accessories. I have always been a fan of 2+ man vehicles for my forces...I
like your side by side design.

I am still not a fan of the trimegabrikium. However, I admire the carrier
you built and the tremendous MOC possibilities that can be realized from a
large supply of INEXPENSIVE bricks...(having seen 700 piece mega bloc sets
for $20 while the same in Lego is $100, excepting the tubs)

I have just recently seen the line at a local retailer... I am intrigued by
the Bomb Squad and ATV w/ sub sets... I'll pick one up sooner or later.

It's nice to see yet another Port Block update and especially another
installment of "especially cross piratical space dudes" (I like a little
humor mixed with my pulse rifles and star destroyers)
