Hello Phil, I have followed your build, excellent details. I don't know how you build so quickly.....very fine work. I am pleased to be back with Armortek, enjoying the 'Limber' looking forward to the 25PDR and hopefully a Morris to pull it.... Mick

Thanks very much Mick
I think the build speed might be an illusion,all I have managed to
do this week is cut and drill 10 pieces of brass,to start making the folding steps
for the back fold down deck panel
But I think the rain had a lot to do with that,and no sun rays on my Magners
Enjoy your building of the 25 pounder and limber.
Cheers
Phil

Phil, I just love looking at the quality of this build, you must be very proud of your work. Just 1 tiny question /observation in the very first photo of the tools that you have added, the fixings on the extendable wire cuter(?) are both holding the bottom arm, would the tool not turn and fall off in real life. sorry if I am being really dense if there is a fitting hidden behind or its held by a hook etc but it catches my eye and my twisted brain thinks How does that work? the other 99.999999 of this build is superb, again sorry if it is a stupid observation.

Hi Martin
Thanks very much for your nice comments.
It doesn't fall at the moment with the Armorpax clamps holding the smaller wire
cutter just nice and I found that the clamps work better with the handle at the
bottom if verticle.
But it would be better I think if I can find another Armorpax clamp for the handle
end,just like the bigger Armorpax clamp.
I must have one somewhere in all my spare parts
Cheers
Phil

Altered the clamps for my small wire cutter.
Thanks Martin it was easy to make one and looks better I think

Excellent work, Phil: This is a truly exceptional building!
Great pursuit of detail and speed of execution:
what more could you ask for more?
