Do explain more. Are these complete repros or just the armour?
Where abouts are they being done. They look to be a very high standard.

Hi Jordan thanks for the pics,
These are two completly new fabricated carriers being built in the u.k. by a friend of mine, one will be a Mk1 the other a Mk2. They are based on two British carriers that came out of a scrap yard back in the nineties, pictures attached. They are exact in every detail and construction methods. Martyn the guy building them has all original running gear which has been refurbished. Basically these will be new carriers straight out of the box. Would make a nice Christmas present for someone.

It was Martyn that inspired me to do the Ferguys one, having seen what he has achieved litterally from nothing ! to restore one is hard enough but to scratch build two simultaneausly is a force to be reckoned with ! Martyn has got all the plans and measurements for my armour when it comes, cant wait until Easter Hols when i come down to Suffolk
 Kevin shall i put the pic up that shows the carrier after all the mud had been cleaned out i was gobsmacked at how far gone it was !

Rust Bucket
Hell Richard thats what I call a rust bucket,I dont think that I have ever come accross one as bad as that one, I guess that we are lucky up here at least the place is bone dry, I have come across lots of them down south in the rain forest country but thats about the worst I have ever seen, full marks to your friend in building carriers from scratch,can you post any pics of his workshop set up and production methods jigs etc? I know all of us here would like to see how he builds them,its a project that I want to do some day,
Thanks again Regards ron

he works full time and when he does not work he is doing the carriers, he is pals with Shaun Hindle and Kevin Powles from here, not sure why he has not joined up, but i have been watching his build with great respect, if i knew how to upload the pics as thumbnails rather than how i do it i would otherwise anyone on dial up would be waiting ages to load the page up.

Hi Guys,
New here, i have been looking for a carrier for a long time to rebuild but keep coming second ! Is this guy making these for other people, would he make me one ? seems the only answer and probably cost effective. People build "new" WW2 jeeps with new everything on them. Pete
