Hi Phil
I always look forward to reading your build threads, so many good ideas and techniques for us guys new to the hobby. Did you buy or make the Milliput syringe/dispenser?
Regards Greg

Hi Greg, the dispenser is of the culinary type and found on eBay, it sure does speed the weld bead process up.

Working on those smoke grenade launchers, and I must congratulate Phil Dawe who trotted off to Windsor Castle this morning to receive his MBE from King Charles ! Well done my friend and very well deserved indeed.

Something to be proud of and it makes you proud to be British! I was lucky enough to be invited to the Palace by Her Majesty the Queen for a garden party a while back and loved every minute of it.
The grenade launcher enclosures are now finished so tomorrow I can start on the brackets

Well I don't mind telling you that the grenade launcher swirly brackets are not easy to make. The different mks of vehicle have very different brackets.

The boss wants the rears of the bins to follow the contours of the turret like the 1/1.

Many thanks.
