1/76 Bedford QLC 'Bren' experimental halftrack


Recommended Posts

Very nice, I have wanted to try one of those ever since I found pictures of it in an old book of my Father in laws, what did you use for the tracks?

I think I read they were cut down universal carrier tracks?

You are correct, the drive train was indeed a shortened Universal carrier track system, to make mine I cut down and modified an Airfix Bren carrier track and scratch built the mounting frame to mount them on

Don't suppose I could tempt you into a Sherman at all?  :hmmm:

It'd go well with your softskins!  :poke:  ;)

 

it's tempting, and a year ago I'd of jumped at it, but as I type I've already got 2 other group builds, my IPMS club competition entry and 3 other QLs from my list all currently on going I may be a tad over stretched:unsure:

No huge hurry to build (we can't get a STGB slot earlier than 2018), but if we can get people signed up early our chances of getting that slot increase significantly. 

 

I'd love to follow one of your builds in detail.....Compare Braille notes, so to speak.  :coolio:

2018!!?? Sweet Nora!! I was thinking it would be next month or sumut..... Let me guess, the winged brigade have all the say and the tread heads get bullied out off to the side!?

 

If we're leading a revolt against them I'm in.... Suppose I'd best go and buy one now....

Good man.....That's the spirit!  :thumbsup:

 

I'd love to have another Brailler in the gang, Paul & Ben will be joining us and I might even persuade Stix to do something a bit smaller than his beloved 1/48!  :D

 

PS - If you haven't tried one of the new Heller 1/72 Sherman kits yet, get one.....You won't regret it!  :coolio:
