carrier pics
the carrier is actually a MK 1 lower that was chopped off at the fenders.90 % of the upper works I built out of steel plate .The rifle rest is wrong for a MK 1.I didnt know that when I built it.It will be corrected.The front glacis plate is actually 14 pieces I welded together that were in the bottom of the hull when I got it.Its been a fun project so far and I hope to have it parade ready by canada day 2009.I have one more MK 1, and three MK 2s after this one!!

The "rivets" are actually carriage bolts with acorn nuts on the inside surface.Being a carrier neophyte I wont rivet it until I am sure I wont ever have to take it apart again!! I am a millwright by trade,and have pounded thousands of rivets, and once they are on ,they're ON.I know I will have my engine, steering, etc in and out over and over until everything is true so I wont go permanent yet.
