As you can see it started life as a LP2, then I fully stripped it cut it in halves at the centre bulk head. removed the old one and replaced it with a replica 2 pounder bulkhead. It also had to be extended by 235mm as the mortar and 2 pounders were that much longer than a normal carrier. Made and fabricated the rest of the parts by copying the 2 pounder hulls I have in the workshop.
The mortar base revolves on 5 bearings and I got the design from the parts manual. I'm sure its pretty close. Now that its got some green paint on it, its starting to look the part. I hope to have the tracks on this weekend.
I will post pics if I do. Anyway I hope you all enjoyed the pics as much as I enjoyed creating them.
until next time on "CARRIERS ARE US"
see u then.
Colin.
