Alwyn such a nice job as usual. Inspiring work. Tom you are a lucky man

[AlwynTurner]

Very exciting news today, I got a commission for a Mark 13 Centurion, so I'm going to be very busy updating component designs, I've already updated the rear deck as this was modified on the mark 7 and subsequent tanks to improve engine cooling

Look forward to this one, I might have to buy one at this rate!

[AlwynTurner]

Redesigned the mantlet, I can't finish this until I get the L105 barrel though


Alwyn

[AlwynTurner]

Decided to design the L7 105 barrel anyway



Makes life easier

Awesome, I do prefer the later Mk13

[AlwynTurner]

and finally the turret lid which has only minor changes, just some parts removed and aerial bases moved




Alwyn

[AlwynTurner]

Busily printing away, half of the road wheels and suspension done


Plenty more to do
Alwyn

[AlwynTurner]

Making progress with the printing and assembling




The rear of the tank upper hull needed some redesign as it is quite different from the Mark 3

Lots more printing to do
