Well I have started a 4th Brengun Carrier. Andrew(CrusaderXXX) has wanted one for at least a year now and we came to a mutal agreement and the build begins. Here are a few pics of the build. Pics will be added as the build progresses. As always comments are welcomed.... Harold

Update:
Work on the carrier continues. I have the basic engine box built, opened up the vision ports, made the gunner's upper shield, and hinged the gunner's fold down upper left shield section. Will now start to detail the new additions. Here are the latest pics. As always comments are welcomed.... Harold

Personally I don't have one. Seems everytime I start one for myself someone buys it...LOL. The 1st carrier I built was made from a door skin(1/8th plywood). I won a gold award for it at the Toronto Modelers Show at Old Fort York in Toronto Ontario Canada
