@CharlieC: Thanks for the link. I've seen one of those walk-arounds courtesy of Google's image search, but for some reason I didn't get the other three until I drilled down from the main page.
@ju52man: I still have a while to go before the model is finished. This last build still had some mistakes where I had made some parts too short -- given the thickness of the cardstock. There are still some details I want to add to the back... but after that I intend to make the model available. |

There's an Australian pattern carrier outside an RSL club a few km from my place. The interior isn't in good shape but the suspension and transmission look ok - if you want some images just ask.
Regards, Charlie |

This is excellent, jmodule!
You have built a fine model of a very widely-used vehicle that was, as Charlie noted, the basis for a number of other vehicles. I appreciate your showing us how you designed it. If you ever make it available, I'd be in line to purchase this one for sure. And if not, I hope you will continue to share information on this model and that you are inspired to develop more British AFVs. Don |

Near the Finish Line
I'm getting close to finishing this model. Two more test builds and I've convinced myself that I've reached the limit of detail that I would want to build on a 1/72 model. Printing it out on something lighter than 200 gsm paper might help, but I didn't have anything on hand to try.
The last major piece was the hitch on the back. It's fiddly to put together, but I wanted it available as part of the kit. |

Looks to me like a good level of detail for most modelers. Those wanting more have an excellent starting point. If you make this one available, I definitely want one!
And any other 1/72nd British AFVs you may design in the future. Don |

Ready for Download
I'm happy to announce the kit is done and available for anyone to download here in the download section. I hope you'll have as much fun building it as I did designing it.
I feel like I've learned a lot from this model and I'll be taking that and applying to future models. Also if anyone finds a problem with the model or something unclear in the instructions, feel free to post it in this thread (or just send me a PM). |

I have one under construction and hope to post pics in a couple of days. It's going together well. Excellent engineering, jmodule!

Don, that will be great to see some pictures. I'm very curious how it will turn out for other people. I know what I intended, but did I communicate it clearly to others.

Surprisingly, no one has tackled this in 1:33.
Great 1:72 model though! |
