Link for the snazzy one?

Found a rather snazzy 3d model of an Oerlikon 20mm but it's a bit too detailed - it's nut-and-bolt accurate and even includes rifling! I'm working on simplifying it for printing.
Will give my LCT(A) a bit of bite.

The LCT(A) just needs it's main armour adding around the poop deck and then details:

Make and fit Centaur raised platform.
Anchor is printed but need to make the anchor frame
Reprint anchor winch (first go failed)
Stanchions - make or buy (too fragile to print)
Fairleads - draw/print
Add access doors

Thank you, that does look like a very detailed file.

I’m sorely tempted to repaint the Crab now to match to Sherman V – My painting techniques have got a little better.

Also I’m really enjoying the old-school builds and I’m sorely tempted to make use of the 3x churchills I have for Kingforce (that’s never been used) they are undercoated but nothing else.
They would make some proper funnies… An AVRE with double onion, an ARK and a Log Carpet perhaps… argh. I’ve enough stuff to do already!

Log Carpet has been a bit of a niggle for a while – they are little known versions and there appear to be very few pics (none of them loaded with logs)
I also like the Gun Carrier and Wurlitzer versions but they never saw any combat.

79 Div's Engineers must have been very busy boys with the work needed to make the prototypes for all those Funnies that never saw service as well as those that did.

I wonder how many never got to that stage - must have been hundreds of proposals.

Very nice, I love the Centaur dozer and the porpoise sleds

A Centaur tow/munitions carrier for Rubicon's 17pdr (when they get round to it) would be nice...just saying

Rich H · « **Reply #116 on:** July 11, 2019, 11:20:49 AM »

Was there such a thing? Google comes up with nothing...

My bad, actually adapted Crusader hulls used (clearly having a hard of thinking moment)

I think my favourite was the Churchill DD tank.
