Evening all, right then  - straight in with the fun bit,    so I dug out the internal parts from the M1 kit  - all  Five  sprues  with about Two Hundread parts,   first thing was to cut the round bottom floor section out,  I also  took the M1  lower hull  section out and compared it to my  Chally one  -  "Upsss  Problem"..............the Chally  widthe between  wheel/track well sides in narrower then the M1, so the round floor setion will not drop down into the space,   only option was/is  to file off  both sides of the floor  to allow it to fit,    only problem doing this is it means the  turret will not be able to rotate and will have to be glued  forward or rear  fixed down.

I can not make the whole floor rounded and smaller as there are side pieces  that glue to the floor and lign up with the turret ring, the distance between these would be two small and not lign up.

The top is just dry fitted and will be for some time yet.

 

Almost foregot..........I also added a bit more bling in the shape of a PE reel cage and reel  on the rear.

 

Lots of head scratching  moments yet to come ................."who had this idea"???????😁

Or did this assume you have snow shoes?

Yes ! Plus the snow compressed making it firmer than fresh snow

Yeah, with snow like that, corners can be adventures. They usually make them 4 way stops, at least in the places I've been, like Anchorage, AK and Goose Bay, Newfoundland.

That is a one way lane, every 1/2 mile they widen it so cars in opposing directions can pass, if you get caught between passing section one of them has to back up to the previous passing zone..........

Up where I lived, near the Canadian border we would get 4' of snow a night for 3-4 days in a row... The second story door was required..... You didn't need snowshoes but they sure made it easier.....

The locals automatically understand that, what's funny is those that are new to the area and seeing their first real snowstorm....

OH yes, and slow, everyone either puts away the 4 wheel drives or lock out the hubs.... you nose into a snowbank it might be a few days before you get dug out..... Light pickups or station wagons with multiple sets of chains, real chains not those silly cables they call tire chains today......

 

Snow shovels and tow chains in the trunk cause you helped your neighbors when they got stuck, everyone pulled together when the white stuff comes....

Evening all,   more progress,   next stage in the internal detail  (battle)  I mean build,   is to compare the Chally turret ring with the M1  - yep  quite a difference (the M1  quite a bit wider)  the M1 ring also has all the detail on it - so I wanted to  try to transfer the ring  (part of it)  over onto my Chally,     this was not going to be easy as the only thing I could do was to follow a ridge on the bottom  that is the right width I need, and to  score through it with my scalpel blade  till it went all the way through the plastic.

Messy and  nearly a dangerous job as the blade did slip a few times, but after about an hour of blade work it eventualy broke through, just a bit of clean up and a test fit  - it needed to be slit then shaped a bit at the front thenglued in place while pushing against the rim, after I added a Two part edge under there the Breech  will be.

 

Think it will work..........

it may not be.........think of the interior 'box' in car models.  if this kit,  or the one your taking the parts from was based like this,  you may find that there may be some amount of 'dead space' in the chassis tub.  the transplant looks good......too bad you can't keep the functionality for the turret.

Evening all  - back on the turret trials,   I spent most of the afternoon  working on shaping/cutting and bending some PE  plates, these are just to enclose the turret from the Hull at the fornt and rear - took a bit of doing  but aleast that stage is done,    lots more to do yet though.

Currently in the middle of researching  what the turret floor was like in the Chally2  -  what the seat hights where  and what was around the floor under the turret traversing ring, and if the charge  was kept seperate from the projectiles (that were kept in the  turret rear)

Here's what I can find brother...

 

Quote

The L30A1 gun uses three-piece ammunition: the projectile, propellant charge and primer are separate parts, a design decision that affects both lethality and storage options. The ammunition stowage of the Challenger 2 is designed to accept only certain types of ammunition parts (propellant charges, primer magazines and projectiles) at certain places (for example all propellant charges are stored within the hull below the turret ring).

This info came from here.....

 

And this source will have a bunch more info on the turret interior and it's ammo loadouts...

 

Hope it helps...

Evening all,    a good days work on the turret,   I  made a  base and added the commanders adjustable seat,  next was to create similar for the  gunners  seat/position, last was the  loaders  seat.

 

To gauge the correct hight  I made up one of the tanker figures I  have brought, I tested it by dry fitting the turret roof and placing the figure through the commanders hatch.

Evening all,   a day of "fettling and fiddlings  -  measuring and adjusting"   as the commanders seat was too low, also from the pics I  have I discovered the raised area for the commander  had the seat pad left in place  with a cover that pulls over it,   I had to make up  about 4mm  in hight so I basically  just glued some plastic together and shaped and glued it in place,  I then checked the commander figure  - better this time.

Next I made a step that goes in between the commander and gunnner  - just a box affair  shaped and glued.

 

I foregot to take any pics  so hope my wording explains it ok.

I see something strange.

On the chair on which the figure stands. There is a kind of "backrest" (backrest = google translate English..) on it.
I think it is placed backwards (needs a 180 ° turn )

Hi Patrick,     yep  I have re model-ed that part  as it just wasn't right, I was trying to show the  cushion part  pull up in a stowed position, but I dont thinj it does, there is a cover that  covers the seat cushion while the comander is standing on it.

 

Deffinatly an on-going project.

Evening all, some good progress over tha last Two days,   I started  constructing the ammo  storage area, this was a bit of scratch building  exercise  using  the M1 kit parts - didn't turn out too bad  but more needs doing to it,   I also worked on the commanders  seat including making a frame and backseat cushion, slowly getting more busy.

 

I also built the top main turret part and cleaned up the edges, and again am using it by dry fitting.

Evening all  - more progress  - starting to construct the turrets inside walls  as they re quite thick in the Challenger, I had to construct them using some odds and ends  - joined together and shaped.
