Yes the barrel and mantlet had already suffered a similar accident when I got it. Will be wary when tackling embankments. Barrel is now part stainless steel and copper pipe and double the fibre glass so should be a bit more robust hopefully.
Weighs at least 2 slipped discs and a hernia
Haven't weighed it but its a little heavier than the original due to a fair amount of additional metal added to strengthen/improve and detail.
It looks heavy lol...saw the pic with the hull on the dolly.....the dolly is a dead giveaway
....then the ramps to get it on the dolly
Yes the camera phone was nearly dropped and I had to edit out the x rated expletive. The wife was a expecting something like a party popper. I had explained it was going to be a bit louder than that.
Not the best clip but will do another when its all weathered and the commander finished.
That was hilarious...don't tell the little woman I said that...but it was...I thought someone got shot or had a heart attack
Funny video...you should send it in to one of those video shows

Thanks guys. Been busy with other interests and just not had time. As it never sees the light of day I'm thinking of letting it go for someone else to enjoy it.
