Quick mortar conversion
link

I've started the facebook page as an overflow of my blog, there's quite a selectoin of the Scene's goodies with more to come with my 20% sale knee-jerk order.

Facebook redirect not working for me, just sends me straight to the FB front page.

I'm doing something wrong, but I'll be bleeped if I can figure out what, apologies!

Yeah I saw a few of this and just didn't like the twin barrel thing it had going on, my get a few of those and just knock off the whole turret for an APC, or just sack off one of the barrels

Agreed but i like the other mortar carrier turret on the other IFV seen below i could use a few of those turrets on a couple of old hover chassis that i have, alas i haven't found any in the UK yet.

The tuttet is quite soft, quick work with sharp blade then the central hatch is free.

The guns will also slice off easy. The conversion above (still not sure why it wouldn't work for me!) took about 1/2hour of lazy work.

Mortar is from the scene's excellent misc weapons range. Base fits in there as well.

I'm hanging fire finishing it until Brigade's new crew figures are out.

I have one of these… The original turret was comically oversized so I just pitched it; it can't be that hard to add something completely new. But this mortar version isn't bad either, and you could do a four barrel AA version the same way.

I like how you're going on the conversion

You can buy separate turrets from Xmarx, Old Crow, and possibly even Brigade Models, too, if you need those for kitbashing.

I found the big-turret tank in a 1 EURO shop today. Itīs called Blockade Buster from the MBX Heroic Rescue range. A nice model.
