Scotties meat chopper.

[scottie3158]

You not started it yet Paul? room for a little one?

Always room for you mate.

...yet again, it looks like I'll have to sit on 453's lap!

I can see john smiling already.

Vehicles are not normally my thing, but who doesn't like a truck full of guns?!

Two questions.
A) If this is an anti aircraft platform, shouldn't the guns point UP?
2) Why is it called a meat chopper?

Chris,
They will
Not sure but I think it was down to the destructive force of the 4. .50 brownings.

3 pages in and you haven't even made a start yet?

Come on man, the crowd is getting restless

Think infantry assault across open ground against four 50cals. The aftermath was like an abattoir in a field, hence "meat chopper". Pretty gristly. I believe I read somewhere this nickname came about when an M16 was used to support an infantry unit being counterattacked in the bocage. PaulE

Its Scotties trademark Andy. I think his record was six pages of comments before he started doing anything

 

[Mr Bowcat]

Good God man, haven't you started yet?

Paul, that I can believe a single gun is devastating.

Thanks for hanging on, I made a start today. I wasn't going to show the engine and just use the parts I needed to fix prop shafts etc. But there is so much detail it would have been a shame not to. The gearbox alone has 24 parts. So the engine was built complete with teh addition of some etch and some homemade HT leads. It still needs to be cleaned up as I have noticed a few joint lines I have missed then some paint.







the rest of the wiring/plumbing will be added when fitted.

cheers
Scottie

Cracking start Paul.

I've been doing something very similar myself today - adding HT leads to a straight 6. Was quite pleased with it until I've seen how good yours is

 

[BigGreg]

AS usual you deliver ALREADY stunning results.. can't wait for more

Great start Paul .

 

[scottie3158]

Made a start on dirtying the engine. While working on one of the sets of running gear I managed to loose a sub assembly so had to scratch a new one. Not exact but hopefully good enough to pass with a bit of dirt on later.

Nice start Paul. I need to apologise as well, I can’t find my pictures at the moment....if I find them I’ll post them later on....

Evening Scottie,
Excellent work on the engine and wiring, the painting and weathering has brought out the details nicely .
I didn’t spot the scratch bit at first so definitely passed for me.

Tim, No worries mate.

Si, thanks, hopefully with a bit of paint and weathering it will be ok.

Nice work on the engine Paul, it looks very like the engine/transmission in the MM Diamond T I am building at the moment. If I can get mine looking half as good I will be happy.

Andy.

Thanks Andy, I built that a while ago and have some pictures of the engine I built if they are of any use. I also have some pictures of the actual vehicle.
