Bedford RL truck launcher:








Stalwart mounted:

Like the Stalwart one in particular  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Good work Brian. :party: :party: :party:

Like what you've done to the rear of the Stolly, I was considering extended the rear but had decided not to.  I'll think about this again, hopefully I'll have my pair done in the first quarter of this year.

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Soon.  I'm also intending to do a diorama with the gunner's theodolite.

Thanks.

I worked out that if I was to have the erecting arm far enough back for the missile fins to clear the vehicle it would look dangerously over-extended so I felt it was best if I extended the rear of the vehicle and put the levelling jacks there.  I also added a folding travel lock for the missile, which the drawing you posted looks like it really needs!

Nice one (or two)!   :thumbsup:

Are the base vehicles diecasts, metal kits or resin ones?

Metal, from B.W. Models - http://www.bwmodels.co.uk/

Reasonable quality but the Bedford require more work than I liked.   The Stalwart went together easier than I thought it would.

Works for me.

Never built or seen many BW Models kits. Look nice enough though. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
