Once upon a time in a galaxy quite close to here and before I discovered 3d printing I started building a 1/10 scale quad/limber/gun, and now I have cleared my shelves of some of my shelf queens I decided to progress this. I got the quad running and thanks to some assistance from Rob (wibblywobbly) started on the 25 pounder.

I will try and update the images that CRAP photobucket have blurred so the history will reappear.

Looks great Alwyn, the rivets on the frame are giving me flashbacks to my 1/16 version :crazy: I've still only put about half of them on that's needed 8O :/ you've done a great job on yours though :thumbup:

Cheers, Lee.

Made some progress despite my printer playing up with a clogged nozzle

Designed the gunsight and gunslew mechanism

Also designed and printed a new tyre because the lego ones were just naff. The only down side is the tyre print time is 9 hours and I've 3 more to print! :( :/ :crazy:

Gun has turned out into a thing of beauty. Nice looking wheels, they look a lot better than the stock lego ones.
