I keep thinking about what to do next, have ordered one of the HL trucks to see what I can do with it. If I can make a Morris Quad bodyshell fit I'll see about doing one of those. At £20 a time for the trucks it is a really cheap way to get the basis for another build. :thumbup:

Just one part to do, plus I need to modify and reprint the circular base, and maybe narrower tyres. I have done two link arms between the carriage and the base. One is one piece and for transport mode, the other is three separate arms so the base can be positioned under the wheels for firing mode. I am assuming that you would rather have it in kit form as it will make it much easier to paint?

As it is all pretty much done I'll see if I can get some tread on the tyres that looks half decent, but no promises.

That all sounds great.
I was planning on it been in the firing position.
Just working out what to do with the base?
Sandbags and gun pit or something different.

The world is your lobster, would be good if we had more Brit armour and scenics. :thumbup:

Thanks Alwyn, much appreciated.

Noticed that I forgot to add the wheel rim details back in.

You are very talented Rob. The gun is looking great.
Have you ever tried printing a british helmet?
