Armortek

Looking good Robert, these 25 pounder kits are very satisfying to build with plenty of scope to embellish

Hi I have two left, if anyone is interested, PM me first come first served, price £16 plus postage, approx £1 to UK, and £2.70 for Europe, look at Jeffs 25 pounder build for details http://pic80.picturetrail.com/VOL814/8865292/22916331/414278158.jpg http://pic80.picturetrail.com/VOL814/8865292/22916...

Hi Marcus, will let you know when they are in, if Liam can produce this level of detail on the range scale then who knows what is possible, it would be great to have raised wording on the Id plaques, I will ask the question, if achievable in 1/6th that opens up a new level in super detailed parts Re...

Thanks Vince but Liam takes the credit, I thought I would add some more detail for whats on offer, the range scale will be produced by laser onto steel shim, this will need to be trimmed to size and rolled around the plain alloy cone on the Armortek part EJ0263 and fixed in place, the sample that I ...

in my last post I mentioned there might be an update, during the build of the ranging apparatus I asked if anyone knew how to add the ranging scale to the cone, well one of our furum members from the other side of the world, Liam Mahoney took up the challange, and today I received the first sample, ...

Why not use a gimbal stabiliser, as used on drone cameras,

The 25 pounder is now finished, although there might be an update if an ongoing project comes to fruition, its has been a very enjoyable build, light and easy to work on, and plenty of scope for detailing, plus plenty of help and encouragement from the forum. Anyone guess what my next project is htt...

Thanks Stephen, not many updates to come, all the main elements completed, just straps and a couple of tie downs to do, finished the aiming poles, these have steel shafts and arms, used the kit shovel head but with a wooden handle, and fitted one of Dave's drag ropes http://pic80.picturetrail.com/VO...

finished detailing rear of the shield, and made a start on the front, the aiming poles and brackets took a bit of head scratching, to get them to be functional, just the white numbers and banding to do, also made some of the tools, and remade the brackets for the pickaxe head http://pic80.picturetra...

last of the brackets for the rear of the shield made and fitted, fuse indicator represented by a piece of brass strip, and housed in its canvas case, still have lots of leather straps to make, then on to the front of the shield regards Jeff http://pic80.picturetrail.com/VOL814/8865292/22916331/41418...

Thanks Michael, I will add that detail over the weekend
regards Jeff

Hi Michael, thanks for the information, I had missed making the sight clinometer pouch, do you have a picture of the pouch or container for the fuse indicators, that was stored on the top right rear of the shield, above the dial sight. a bit more completed, made the Apparatus, Illuminating, sights N...

Hi Michael, the small pouch on the left trail contains the fuze key, the Clinometer is housed in the holster shaped pouch on the right rear of the shield, (25pounder handbook)

thanks for the comments guys, Graham I also have large hands but use a pair of forceps to hold the small needle, Marcus I put the fags in the large pack few more items completed, large canvas pack/rucksack for the back of the shield, canvas roll, and a pick axe with removable head so it can be stowe...

Thanks for the comments Derek, looking at the date we both joined Armortek, only 8 minutes difference had a go at making the various leather cases / pouches, made from leather and stitched where necessary, and are functional http://pic80.picturetrail.com/VOL814/8865292/22916331/414175266.jpg http://...
