These need to be done as kits add on's.  :D

I'm not sure my skills are up to that, maybe, we'll see. Making the bits in a way to cast them is a trickier and much more time consuming proposition that just winging it ...... and I tend to cover up my rough builds with paint ;)  Maybe Paul can get the guy who masters the Empress vehicles to make an update kit if there's enough interest ....

Thanks for the interest and comments gents. The 3D printed aircon units should be here today or tomorrow so I'll be able to complete the build and do a tidy up prior to paint. Thinking about cutting out the rear ramp on the next one, tis a big job but the challenge to see if I can make it look ok is calling me ....

Hey matey, not sure exactly which web site as I filched plans from several. Type "T90 plans" into Google should bring up a few and then opening the picture in a new tab and copying it is how I got my plans. I downloaded a few, cross checked them and used the best looking one to scale to size.

cheers

Superb modelling work. Those Bradleys are really impressive.

Empress Modern Battlegroup Project - T90A turret update
« Reply #23 on: August 30, 2016, 11:15:58 PM »
Thanks again for the comments gents, muchos appreciated ....

And some more progress. The T90A Welded turret conversion is moving along and almost ready to have its ERA blocks and details added. The fittings from the original turret are bluetacked on but I'm in 2 minds about the turret bins which are a little on the small side. I might fit the blocks and smoke dischargers and then see how much the turret bins attract my eye. It also needs the long range tanks added the rear hull which may also take the eye off the bins.

And the new 3D printed air-con units arrived and have been fitted. Got a little work to finish these off (side details, handles, fans and screens) but I'm pretty happy with how they turned out.

cheers
Brent

Reshaped the LHS and RHS angled armour plates (needed narrowing and a chamfer blended into the front faces), also fitted the Kontakt-5 ERA blocks and a few other turret fittings .....
