We all do, Alex, we all do, so don't fret about it.

There's always someone who wants to tell you 'that's wrong!', these days on Face-boook or somewhere else nice and public!!

Whether you are or not is a different question.....

Default Carrier production...

Our second LP2 got its first run last week, and again this weekend.
Still a bit of detail work to do, but it runs and steers well!
pic shows it getting track fitted before the first run.

Next project is shown sitting on the trailer, 2 months to go!

With January fast approaching, it's all hands on deck here in New Zealand to get Carriers ready in time for the big event.

The list of carriers set to attend has grown in the past few months and we have confirmed that we will be making a DVD of the event.

We welcome all MLU forum members to attend, especially our Aussie mates, it's only a short jump across the ditch for you!

Default Update

Carrier no 3 is coming along. It is a rush to get it there, (with much detail work to be completed later on), but it will be present and running.
Photo below was taken on 1st December: trial fit of borrowed front armour.
Since then division plate repaired and refitted, and angle irons fitted. Motor assembly is underway, and suspension units ready to fit. pedals and levers and stuff primed and initial paint of the lower hull done.
Brief break for Xmas Day then back into it! Hopefully side and back armour will be ready after New Year break?

Final detailed planning is underway to confirm transport, and numbers are looking very good! Four carriers are coming from the South Island too!

We will have some WW1 artillery and vehicles on site too, plus the replica Mk IV.

Make sure you complete all rivets on the centre bulkhead before you put the sides on.... Or you will struggle to get the gun in ��
