Struggling already! LOL
Thinking about "how can I make the chassis so it will receive other bodies?"

I need to focus on the Saladin only.
And if I can adapt the model afterwards to build the Saracen or others, then...

I didn't realize how complicated the suspension was.
Theres a lot of parts and mechanicals under there!
I was thinking about a "rolling" chassis, with axles and some movement in the suspension.



But it is A-arms...independant suspension with swivel axles and CV joints.
Its gonna be tough doing this in paper.
I will need to decide on a fixed position for the suspension and create solid parts.
I also have to think about support.
As I found out with the Centurion, a model of this scale requires stronger suspension elements.
