Centurion Bridgelayer

[neil pudney]

hello david, like everyone else i am fascinated by what you have achieved here.As someone who will be just building the centurion as it came out of the box,(well almost)it is so exciting to see what people like you with the acquired skills to do it can do with an armortek kit. It looks also that you have achieved a good snug fit with the rubber wheels, something which seems to be causing concern from other articles i have read. Im not up to that stage yet as its taken me two months just to paint and weather each track link. I really wanted to do that at the outset and now done im glad i have done it as it brings out the detail of the superb alloy castings. Just joining all the tracks together was a fair old job but an enjoyable one. I shall keep coming back to your article to see how things are going, keep up the good work !!
best wishes,neil

Holy Peat! That thing is BIG! Awesome model David! Nearly as big as your garage. How does the bridge go from vertical to resting on the tank? Hopefully hydraulic assist as well! That would be a massive crash landing if not buffered or assisted somehow. Too cool! Thanks for sharing this and all of your amazing projects.
Best regards,
Bob

Hi david, an amazing feat of model engineering, reminds me in a way of a main spar from an old hurricane fighter or similar!!
It never ceases to amaze me the skill some people have when i see things like this, congratulations on creating something unique for us all to admire.

best wishes,neil

It will be very good to see the Bridge Layer literally rise again! It was a most impressive model, seeing it at Bovington was a highlight of the day, so brilliant news!
