Vickers .5 in
Many thanks to Tim Bell (MLU)who has given me a quality lead on information regarding the elusive Vickers . 5 in MG details. With any luck we should be able to replicate the exterior features of this particular MG and in so doing keep the high level of authenticity that Colin is striving for.

Vickers .50 Cal
David,
There is a set of line drawings for the 0.50 in the Vickers Technical Handbook as pictured. Not Blueprints but you can scale from these. PM sent as I can send you either a hard or soft copy if you would like. Regards Phillip

I cannot wait to see the results of this gun search/recreation. It will be epic.

The guns certainly are going to be an interesting project and a thread on their own.
 The last couple of days have been at a machine turning and milling the gear retaining block. It is a 2" thick piece of steel and very solid. I will do the shaft holes after I get my new gears.

I used my geared drill to turn my rotating table a few thousand times.
