Default Lewis machine-gun plans/sketches/technical drawings

Interesting picture Tony.

Derek - I'd be very interested in that high res picture you have of the Lewis. Would you be able to email me a copy please?

I hadn't considered the Charlton as this is an Australian carrier and I wanted to keep it accurate, which meant going for the Lewis at the back.

I've actually spoken to one of the guys that does all of the armoury work for Peter Jackson. He is pricing up building a replica Lewis for me.

As you said before Tony - he has confirmed he has lots of sample Lewis MG's to work with!

Cheers

Darryl

I'm sure he could even make a Gas-Firing version for you if you like! (When you speak to him next, I have his DVD made up ready).

Are you going to Taieri next week?

Gidday Tony

Yes, he did mention gas firing but I din't want to push my luck too far. I would be happy with just the replica but maybe I should talk to him about the gas firing version again. It is tempting....

Yes - I will be at Taieri next weekend. I will have both the carrier and the jeep there. We are expecting a good turnout of vehicles - 25-30 I'm told, so it should be a good day.

Are you coming over?

Is Hamish going to be there? I haven't heard.

Cheers

Darryl
