Great work Andy, i like that SIG 33 mounted, great work getting that all working :)

I been busy doing some new models!
New one i had to do for a friend and using a Torro spare gun unit M45 Meat Chopper
It was a quick evenings work and it turned out fun
I designed it so that existing Torro unti can be used without cutting or trimming and bolts into this trailer assembly. It can be unbolted and used elsewhere aswell, so isn't permanent :)

Also sorted a Pak40 SD.Anh31 Ammo trailer out so have something to carry all the ammo shells for Anti-tank activities

Can carry 64 shells, so lets hope they don't get to use them all!

Also managed to get my little Pak36 working nicely with active suspension and have configured the model for allowing the shields to be glued in upright or folded position and some other little details like Hollow Stick Charge if more penetration required

Pak 36! Damn it! You’re models are as addictive as crack rock. I’m going to need a second job to support my WCP RC habit.

hahahahahahhaahhahaha

I have to say i love designing these models. I really do it for myself to push the limits of what i can do and have fun at the same time. I so glad Catherine enjoys it aswell. She is just lucky she can steal my designs and sell a few items without me getting upset hahahahaha.
We all know what is better for us, so i would stick to spending on models rather than rocks lol

Don't worry i have the rest of every German piece of WW2 equipment to keep me busy. But wouldn't a Mounted Flak 40 on 4 axles be wicked

Certainly makes a statement!

I have been promising a very patient guy some parts designed for a Panther, so i been slowly getting dims off drawings and working out how it will go together. So i maybe post up some progress of that soonish. I also have something a little bit special i been working on for myself which i really want to get finished before Summer is over, so keep your eyes peeled

M45 Meat Chopper Trailer conversion for a Torro Quad Gun off the RC M16
I have designed it from pictures to look right for the Quad guns. Means that if you change your mind it can be unbolted and the Gun unit used elsewhere without having to glue in place
Image

Can be hitched up and towed around and has rubber tyres used from a popular well known toy manufacturer hehe
Wheels were never spring on these, the wheels have 2 sets bearings for smooth running. The tow hitch articulates and if required the lights could be wired up for leds

The axle stands all rotate around so it can be mounted on the 3 legs if so required

I will get on with drawing up the quads to work aswell and we have got vibration units to fit in the ammo boxes so that it sounds like it buzzing lol
