Conqueror.

Now that after many years we have a number of sources of Horstmann Suspension the very vague prospect of a Vickers Conqueror comes rumbling over the horizon
I do not think it will happen but I would be head of the queue were it so to do

Hmmmm, you mean this one




Now there's a tempting thought.......

Yes Alwyn, Big isn't it? (As the Bishop said to the actress)

[AlwynTurner]

Yes that gives a scale size of 24.93cm wide by 48.25cm long, and then there's the issue of finding tracks, the nearest I can find is KV-1 tracks that are 45mm wide versus scale of 50mm wide, but I suppose they might do.

Alwyn: if anyone can do it, you can! Note: "Morris Quad 1/10 scratchbuild, Saladin scratchbuild, Matilda scratchbuild(WIP), Churchill scratchbuild(WIP), Vickers Conqueror scratchbuild (WIP)"

[AlwynTurner]

Did you say big, I think you meant bleeding enormous

The bren carrier is there for comparison
I mean I'm not one to usually shy away from a challenge but really!?

A picture of the suspension

The suspension is sufficiently similar to the Chieftain and Centurion suspensions I did so I can probably adapt from there. The elephant in the room as it were (and almost literally) is the turret, which looks like a real challenge.
To think they cast that in one piece!

Gordon Selley has designed and printed on. Looks fantastic!

There is one from Gambody that used to be in 1/16 scale and now in 1/35, but I think they still include most of the 1/16 files. I haven't bought it so I can't say positively.

Think that's the STL Gordon tweaked to do his.
