funnily enough when I posted the image of the Mulot on the Very British Civil War forum, this is also the first thing that popped to mind for another poster. I've always been a bit surprised that despite winter playing such a big part of life in quebec and canada, you never saw an home grown ski-based combat vehicle being developed like in other nordic countries with snowmobiles being relegated to transport purpose even when used by the armed forces.

Another vehicle I might eventually design is a smaller type that could serve a similar purpose than motorcyle did in real life (dispatch/reconnaissance). I was thinking of basing it on this 1941 Eliason Motor Toboggan, Model D:



probably will add a side cart somehow or elevated the backseat to allow for a machine gunner.
