Re: Project: Make a M19!
Hi all,
This project is almost finished!
The photos show the various parts of the upper mounting heading to the bunker and of the last assemble of the M19 before moving.
All the parts of the replica are now at the M19 bunker and are ready for the final fitment which will be finished in the next few months.
Oddly, when we carried the main mount into the bunker one dark raining night (it was a week after a someone went missing) the police turned up as there had been reports of a body being carried into a bunker by torchlight and excited voices!!!
Regards,
Malcolm

It just means you will need to come back Arthur!?AvB wrote:Awesome Malcolm! Too bad you didn't finish it in October already
The upper mounting has now been installed and the barrel platform will be fitted this coming weekend along with a few smaller parts like the phone!
From the date this thread started you can see this has been a long project 
The middle photo shows an original M19 in Denmark for comparison (photo: Atlantikwall Denmark).

Malcolm
