Old Collingwood Posted February 3, 2021 Author Share #92 Posted February 3, 2021 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"???????😁 OC. popeye the sailor, Edwardkenway, lmagna and 6 others 9 Quote Current builds 28mm Battle of Waterloo attack on La Haye Saint Diorama. 1/700 HMS Hood Flyhawk with PE, Resin and Wood Decking.

Old Collingwood Posted February 4, 2021 Author Share #100 Posted February 4, 2021 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.......... OC.

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).

Old Collingwood Posted February 7, 2021 Author Share #112 Posted February 7, 2021 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. OC.

Old Collingwood Posted February 9, 2021 Author Share #113 Posted February 9, 2021 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. OC.

Old Collingwood Posted February 9, 2021 Author Share #116 Posted February 9, 2021 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.

Old Collingwood Posted February 10, 2021 Author Share #119 Posted February 10, 2021 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. Thought I would take a sneaky pic through the barrel mantlet......
