The Tenth Crusade - European Western Front

:popcorn.......just as a side note. I turned down a contract with a German military Engineering company to develope 3 weapons /recovery platform variations on a similar chassis to this.

What exactly is it that you do for a living Ian?
You in the Q branch or something?
 
Better photos as promised...

I just saw this ambulance variant and wonder if it indeed an ambulance mission module on the back:

Saul, it most likely is a module. This vehicle was built specifically with the idea of quickly changing out modules to change it's purpose. That way, when a need arises, they can make a quick change instead of waiting for a prupose-built or field mod to be done.

o_O Well I certainly don't make pens with'fricken lazer beams' inside them. Seriously though I used to be in Engineering research and design with a background in Industrial design and 3d CAD data management. The contract I mentioned would have been about managing and organising their integration of the 3D designs for the 3 vehicle variations on a single platform.
Sorry, not really relevant to this post except that Saul's model is just that type of vehicle platform.
:whistle::sleep:
 
The fit of the module to the base vehicle sucked... to put it mildly. I didn't want to but decided to hack away a good portion since it won't be seen (Thank God I decided against any open doors or hatches).

Marked what had to go...

... then cut it away. It was trimmed a bit after this photo was taken with the edges cleaned up. Not for appearances but to make sure burrs didn't foul the fit (which is MUCH better now):

What... you thought I forgot about this ambulance? :D

Now that you mention it...

Looks good, keep going. :vgood:
