1/50 scale Remote Weapon Station
« on: March 05, 2023, 09:08:35 AM »
Hi, I am contemplating assembling an Empress Challenger 2 (the up-armoured version) as a Theatre Entry Standard one.


Adding the picnic table on the turret should be reasonably easy (photographs and the Evil Bear Panther example - though I might miss out the bird cage) and the crocheted tea cosy will cover a multitude of sins, the key item I am looking for is a suitable RWS.

The only one I have found is the Spectre one, and that seems permanently Out of Stock.

Any suggestions?

If it looks like a Leonardo Enforcer that is a distinct bonus.

As an aside, the Challenger above looks like it got its cosy from Nilfgaard.

TT Immersion has one available for 3d printing.  Any printing service should be able to work with his files, if you don't have your own printer.

How are you going to do the thermal shrouding (aka the tea cosy - which is a fitting nickname really with the Boiling Vessel on board ;) )

Thanks.
I would knit the cosy using Green stuff.

Just spotted this on my blog:

Evil Bear support drone.

That's cool!  Who makes that? The only RWS I was aware of is a Kongsberg type from Quarterkit.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

It is an Evil Bear Support Drone, unfortunately Evil Bear sort of dropped off the grid, which is a pity as I would have liked a few more of their Foxhound and Panther protected vehicles.

Of course if anyone knows what is happening....
