Ysi_maniac's Mini Centurion

ysi_maniac · April 01, 2008, 05:33:48 AM

Some months ago I merged 2 Airfix Centurions to build a Super Centurion. But this is not the object of my thread...

So, what to do with remaining parts?
Obviously a Mini Centurion.

Super Centurion will take both turrets and a pair of additional boggies, resulting 8 road wheels per side. So I had to look for a turret and some road wheels. I got both from an Airfix Chieftain. Well I am not sure about the turret yet...

As 4 road wheels per side is too short, I decided that 5 may be OK. So I had to add a 12mm long section to the hull, this way:

Hi BdaB,
Is Mini Centurion ACCEPTED?

Without a doubt Carlos! It certainly meets the criteria about using parts from dis-similar kits. It's nice to see some armor represented here too!

Go for it!

Hi gang,
This is a completely unambitious project but I am enjoying it very much. So is modelling

I missed have missed this super centurion thread?!?!?!?!?

How is it going? What stage are you at? Do have any sketches to show what it might look like?

I also like the idea of the mini Centurion looks great mate!

Ya, I have the same questions about the super-centurion. The mini looks pretty cool as well !

There is not such Super Centurion thread yet. Sorry.

The current stage is what you see in above pic. I can only tell you that it is intended to be a land battleship.

I like the look of this very much, but here is what this build is saying to me - shave off the axles on the hull and make it into a Hover-tank

It just has a slightly spartan retro-future look going on there for me

Nice "Wolfik-style" mods there Carlos! I'm looking forward to seeing more!

Even though I'm seeing it being done, I don't really know how you do what you do.

I'm just very glad that you do what you do so well!

Wicked looking mods Carlos. You definitely have an eye for detail even in the smaller scale!

Regards.
