Besides the promo images (top), I only found this one, with a backpack. Just from a quick Google search when I was working on mine. I ended up using the Live Resin stowage, it's just so well cast.

what kind of stowages or equipments are realistic to put on this vehicle?



I guess it depends of who's riding it



What about some added punch ?




or some commo equipment ?

There's a couple of build blogs on here including mine. I used the Live Resin stowage sets because they are so good and molded to fit the ATV exactly. I also mounted the 40mm grenade launcher shown in one of the above pics. If you mount a rider that has hands on the handgrips, assemble the ATV and rider completely before attaching the handlebars as positioning of rider, hands, and handlebars can be tricky. You could also portray an ATV with stowage that a rider would have for an extended mission: Backpacks, ammo cans for weapons, commo sets, sniper rifles with scopes, water bottles, camo nets, etc. An image search for MARSOC MX850 will yield numerous images. Good luck!

Great images, as always HP! A couple of interesting points, like how the SF guy is wearing civvies, not camo uniform. Figure makers.... and, in the Misfits image, the guy’s face has been obscured, but not his ink, which is as easily identifiable as his face.
