Centurion AVLB (slow build)

[Scratchbuilder]

Well here it is fianally, three or more years from initial idea through research, drawings, put aside for other builds, and finally put at the top of the list for completion.

The bridge is not attached to the vehicle - this will take place once the base is complete and the vehicle is in the correct position.





The foam is there to support the front of the bridge which is not attached to the launch arm.


And there it is. I am pleased that I managed to obtain the same colour scheme but with a different finish, the worn launch vehicle and then the stored bridge brought out for the exercise.
Cheers
Mike.

For me that is very hard to do, I have to change something, even if it is my socks....
