Stridsvagn 104 (Swedish Centurion) *** Finished ***

David I will check my photo library to see if I have any shots of the gantry and tank for you.

Thanks Alan, I have found an assortment of images online and am still looking for more as I go.

These might help and I thought you might like the Mk1 with the 20mm instead of the .303

[lancfan]

Yes they do Alan, thanks. The 20mm mk.1 has to go on the list.

Sorry for the lack of progress, for the last week both my wife and I have had a stinking cold/flu and the thought of painting a small complex camouflage pattern after just finishing a 1/72 scale FV432 in the Berlin Urban camouflage has got me beat, as soon as I shake this cold off I will be back.

Because I want to build all three Centurions in the Tank Factory display and the unfinished tank exhibit includes a gantry which needed to be fixed to a base my Stridzvagn will also need a matching base to complete the effect, here is the finished tank on it's base along with a view of the set of bases made for the three models. There should be railings along the ramp which run alongside the display, having searched for a commercial solution I cannot find anything even close to the appearance of this barrier so I will have to scratch build it from alluminium mesh and stretched sprue or copper wire.

Brilliant work David

I’m currently having problems with my internet service provider and don’t have access to my online photos, I have a horrible suspicion that I’m going to have to move all my data to another service supply, this means I will loose the hundreds of photo links I have used on this forum.

[lancfan]

Oh no, Alan, this brings back memories of the mess caused by Photobucket, sorting that out and changing all the links was a real pain. You have my deepest sympathy.

David.
