working bridge Layer

Post by 971wright »

Hi Guys have spent months getting to this point, Have a working bridge layer still have a load of work to do , but finally got it to work , needs a few mods to it but the basics work . Please note that rivet counters there is no point you looking because its miles off. Had to change loads to get it to work , but tried to stay within my tolerance's if it looks right it is right LOL. Need to do a load of work to hide the workings and make it look more like a M48 . Not changing the hull from the Pershing (because if Chris 3 can make a solid Centurion lower will change over to that hull) If this happens can change the pershing to a another model. The Israel's had the M48 bridge layer fitted to the Centurion so did other armies . here are a couple of photos and a video http://youtu.be/tf8vMpUkSZ0

OMG... That is so awesome. If I ever get a ton of money, I'd like to pick your brain on how you built this, the mechanism, materials, etc., because I wanna build one too.

Wot is the design load for this bridge? I mean, wot is the heaviest load it can take? Is it possible for a 20 or so pound tank to run over it over a gap?

Hi Will take a full metal Tiger without bending . so should take 20lb tank ,the tank it self weighs 11lb the bridge is just over 4lb , Think when finished tank will weigh 12lb and bridge will be 5lb.
