Bring them along on Sunday, I'll see what I can do with them, if it will help.

Remember the Chieftain ARRV that I brought along on Sunday, first outing for a couple of years, ran for 60 seconds and died??

Yup, it was the damned switch, I just hooked a battery up directly to the RX18 and it ran like it was supposed to....grrr!!

At least it won't be an expensive repair!

Artyfist will be pleased to know that his MDF has not gone to waste. Here is where I am so far.

Glad it was ok.
I can get more if needed.

I could make good use of a piece of MDF as a base for my PAK 40 and crew. About 450 mm square, if that's possible, same thickness as the larger pieces you brought last time. Thank in advance.

I've just started on the shells and ammo boxes for Rob's monster gun. Looking in a certain direction, I wonder if anyone knows what colour the shells and ammo boxes would have been.

[silversurfer1947]

I've based the shells on the only colour picture I can find. They are nearly finished. The boxes are about half done.

My question relates to these. I assume the cylinders with the domed heads on the left are the containers for the propellant charges. I am wondering what the other bits are intended to represent. There are 2 different length cylinders plus what look like lids on the extreme right. It's just so I get get the colours right.

Answered my own question. It's amazing what you can find when you read back through a thread.
