    I.D.F M113 Fitter

    Update. Rather than add the light guards which would get knocked off or damaged I decided to go ahead and build the side lockers and as the front left is the chosen side I decided to make it out of metal sheet. So all measured out and bent to shape, then remembered the old old proverb, measure...

    I.D.F M113 Fitter

    Update, Been a bit of a slow week or two, had the first of my jabs on Monday, ended up with a reaction to it and that knocked me off my stride for the week. But pleased to say the second head is now growing well under the UV light..... So where were we ? The cupboard/tool box is complete and if...

    M-18 for Simon.

    Update, A bit more work done on the stowage bins and the jerrycan rack, plus the box for the support beams and crow bar. That's it for now, time for a break, so back onto the M113. Mike.

    I.D.F M113 Fitter

    Update, Before I go back to the Chieftain ARV I thought I would show how far along this one has gone. The fuel pipes and pump are now complete. A bit blurred but you can get the idea. The floor is now in place as well. Then I moved onto the other side and built up the ammo box racks from pewter...

    I.D.F M113 Fitter

    Having built a fitters vehicle some time ago, I had at the time obtained another kit of a different variant. This has sat in the store for all this time alongside the Zelda. After getting the Chieftain ARV underway I needed something to fill in during the periods when that build grew a bit...

    M-18 for Simon.

    Update, Been busy doing other things of late, and the break away has allowed me to re-focus on this build. Have started work on the front lower hull where the dozer blade attaches (pic later) and the dozer blade itself. This is the carcass of the blade, the cross pieces are there to support...

    M-18 for Simon.

    Update. Now moved onto the rear hull and the left rear stowage box. This is basically a Chieftain stowage box, cut down and modified to fit. This is my offering... I then decided to add the side 'wall' which goes around the rear hull to engine deck. This involved making a template out of paper...

    Fruil metal tracks

    Bob, No need for a jig, clean up the holes and assemble about 10 links, as the wire does not go all the way through you can then stand the length on its side and with a pin dip it into a pool of c/a and add a dab to the end of each link and the c/a will only stay at the end of the hole with the...

    M-18 for Simon.

    Update, After sorting out where I went wrong on the stowage box, I then consulted the oracle who threw down some ancient bones remove from the corpse of a long lost Dido (Yes John R, the spelling is correct), and then pointed me in the right direction - rubber rulers do stretch.... Here is the...
