Re: Bristol Armoured Division
I've got a set of Spektrum Teleporter V4 goggles and a Spektrum VA2500 camera. I need to experiment with batteries and cables etc, but so far I'm very pleased with it.

Re: Bristol Armoured Division
This sounds interesting.... I tried connecting my tank camera to laptop at the last meeting with limited success, but you are clearly taking things one step further.
Will be very interested to see this in operation.

New Look Sherman
Have slightly upgraded my new Sherman... had confusing French decals and a US star on the front, not sure if that was normal... also added a Tamiya Battle System.
Unsure whether to add the mud and dirt look. Probably leave as it is for now. Tank is aimed more at the American 'Easy Eight' look that the Firefly, though not totally correct for either. Having said that there seems to be bodges of just about every imaginable look on the internet in terms of Sherman Tank versions and their design...... There is even a hint of the film 'Fury' with my 30 cal machine gun addition..... and a few extra lifting hooks etc

Re: Bristol Armoured Division
The last two members of the 6" Howitzer crew. I have added some wiring for the commander's headphone, plus a microphone. There is plenty of wire so it can be connected to a radio set that Rob can magic up from his printer. To really set it off, it would be great if the same printer could magic up an officer's flat cap.

Re: Bristol Armoured Division
Is it just me, or do they look like Clarkson & Hammond. Nice job

Re: Bristol Armoured Division
The officer type figure started out life as Ken Tyrrell, the rest of the team being the pit crew. Up close, it does actually look like Tyrrell, but the photo does make him look a it Clarksonesque.
