Title: Another folly: Valentine bridge layer
Post by: Rich H on 27 July 2021, 07:29:26 PM

I think Carlos predicted this one some time ago (ok it was a Covenantor) but here is my Valentine bridge layer.  It will be marked up as 'Tay' from the 5th Canadian Armoured Division HQ once I find some decals

Based on a Rubicon Valentine and the drawn/printed by me

Excellent!  What scale is that?  A very kind mate converted one for me in 15mm (it was an essential piece of kit for some of our Burma scenarios).

Thanks all it's been an interesting side project. 
Drawings were 'basic' to say the least.

Sadly its too fragile to actually articulate the linkage.

Now that’s a truly magnificent bit of kit! Time to get cracking on the Chieftain version?

Wonderful piece of work, though I was surprised that it does not actually deploy the bridge ^__^.

Yes, but we want one just a bit bigger to go with the rest of our toys.
