Hello Stephen
That what you wrote are right. It is not easy! If I will realize or not, I don`t no.
Yesterday I was with my friends at the “Tag der Bundeswehr in Pfullendorf”. It was the first event with the Centurion. It works very well and the dozer blade makes a lot of fun.
Some pictures from our models. All models are full functional.
This is the Leguan 1/16.
Regards
Frank

Very interesting Frank, good to see. On your Centurion, is the driver's hatch on the left?

Hello Stephen
Yes
But I hope only a short time. I use the original deck to mount the turret ring with the new deck. Because I don`t know if there is enough space I turned the old deck 180 °. That`s all.
Now the next step is to design the driver`s hatch that I can complete the deck.
All the best
Frank

Hello
The next step is, to design the details on the track guards. My problem is to find the right dimensions. So I hat asked Stephen – after all I was much more confused.
So I visited yesterday “Little Britain”, it is nearby Linz am Rhein. A man from England owned a private Centurion as a memorial. The engine of the Centurion is out of working. Any way. You see at the backside an electrical engine. This is an example of German bureaucracy. Now the centurion can drive. So the owner needs no building licence. The German government cannot understand, why a man needs a Centurinon in his garden.
Now I save the dimensions witch I need.
All the best
Frank

You can get the bodies that can contain several different servos allowing you to have for instance head going from side to side up and down or one or both arms moving from Churchill Creations.

Hello Andy
Günter Gäbelein is a good friend of me. He provides me his own body design. If you need a body, please contact him. Maybe he pint it for you, but I do not know his price.
Kind regards
Frank
