I found a free Sketchup design and managed to create an stl file, and printed it off. The quality is poor but it should do to go on the gun rack of the Bren Carrier.

I’ve just started printing the suspension parts & it is slow if you want to make them as strong as possible, but worth every hour, lovely design work Alwyn!
