Re: Centurion Mk III Scratch build
The fillercaps are done
Here's the scad
********************************************
module fillercaps()// x2
{
$fn=60;
difference() {
union() {
intersection() {
translate([0,0,0])cylinder(5,12,2);
translate([0,0,-2.5])sphere(5);
}
translate([-6,2,-0.5]) rotate([0,-8,0]) cube([6,1,1.5]);
translate([-6,-3,-0.5]) rotate([0,-8,0]) cube([6,1,1.5]);
translate([-5.6,-1.5,-1]) rotate([0,0,0]) cube([1.3,3,2]);
translate([-5,3,0.5])rotate([90,0,0])cylinder(6,0.4,0.4);
translate([0,2,0.25]) rotate([0,8,0]) cube([6,1,1.5]);
translate([0,-3,0.25]) rotate([0,8,0]) cube([6,1,1.5]);
translate([5,4,0.5])rotate([90,0,0])cylinder(7,0.4,0.4);
translate([5,3.75,0.5])rotate([0,90,0])cylinder(2,0.4,0.4);
}
translate([-7.5,-5,-2])cube([15,10,2]);
}
}
fillercaps();

I couldn't resist any longer, now the last piece is glued to the hull, I had to put a coat of paint on
Now it's starting to look like a Centurion.
next is the finishing of the back of the tank

Re: Centurion Mk III Scratch build
Coming together nicely Alwyn, can’t wait to get these printing, I’ve a print running that should finish at midnight, I might just risk the wrath of her indoors & print them over night

Re: Centurion Mk III Scratch build
Top effort Alwyn, it's been an exciting journey seeing the iconic silhouette take shape. The finish line's in sight, so of course the question on everyone else's lips now is "what's next?".

Re: Centurion Mk III Scratch build
Thanks everyone for the good words, it's much appreciated. The satisfaction of seeing a tank emerging from a stack of styrene sheet and PLA filament is enormous and I'm sat here looking at the Chieftain and Centurion side by side on my WIP shelf and having a brief rest before finishing off the rear of the cent.
I'm feeling a bit 'tanked out' at the minute, and I think I might return to some unfinished projects like the 1/10 scale Morris quad and 25 pounder gun, and the M19 Diamond T and trailer which are sitting on my shelves and pleading quietly.
Anyway onwards and upwards as the saying goes.
