That Sheridan mod looks cool, Alex! I used a Bradley turret on it. The LAV turret was just to visualize it for Paul. I'm using my LAV turrets for a sci-fi build.
Nice bit of manipulation of the white stuff there on that hull Mr Paul. Always enjoy the what-if stuff....especially the development and idea smashing phase of it.

OK then, thinking about a change of direction for this one. I've sourced a Sheridan hull, so, I'm just going to keep on the white stuff route with this one.
I'm considering a launcher type set up. Currently just at the doodles stage. Breaking out some white stuff tomorrow to play around.

By the loading fairies via the quantum loadty thingy... DOH...  I'm thinking via a flexible(ish)chute from inside the hull akin to the Stryker MGS- just a bit bigger. As a launcher rather than gun tube, elevation/depression not so much of an issue. |

Something along those lines Ian. but its still all up the air. As Alex B mentioned its the brainstorming aspect of this that is great fun.

I have a 247 in the stash. Just need to dig it out... As for the other thing... starting to look a bit Warhamer-ish, or how about an optional manned, 152mm autoloaded fire support thing... Sorry no pics -Bloody web host error message again...  maybe tomorrow. |
