Yeah, but that is what I'm saying, that is just an autocannon with a Bren-ish top-loading magazine. Hell, you can make one like that easily enough.

All GW weapons are way bigger than a true scale 56scale figure weapon ought to be. So much so that the auto-cannon is bigger than a 75mm cannon, and their battle cannon which is supposed 120mm, makes a 1/35 scale 120 feel inadequate. GW has no proper sense of proportioning IMHNSHO

The Heavy Stubber is correctly sized to represent a .50 cal IMHO

An actual 1/35scale .50cal, is half the barrel thickness of the GW Hvy Stubber! The body is okay, and is pretty much more spot on, but the barrel is "robust" compared to the model company version.

And real scale 1/48 is even smaller than 1/35 scale so much dwarfed by GW scale weapons!

Work is going on for the Bren I may have to find a different name as Russia had the Kosmolets, a similar small tractor like machine. Meanwhile, feast your eyes on the armored covering work so far done.

the long absence of your work here made me really feel uneasy^^ good to see the khardovoian productions again in full swing!

i am currently puzzled about the shape of the left side but a further update will solve that i think...^^

The left side is angled, and is meant to help a man and machine gun.

The driver needed less space. Due to it's size, I will also be adding bent paper clips as hand-holds on the key areas.

The Bren was certainly an odd little thing.

i was just confused about the non symetrical shape of the cover you made... but the explanation is fitting...

The rarefied atmosphere

the old gw metal autocannon is also a top loader. should be easy enough to ebay an old heavy weapons team that comes with one and subsequently convert the end of the barrel.

The USS Orinoco was a Federation Danube-class runabout that was in service with Starfleet in the late 24th century, attached to Deep Space 9. It was outfitted with a sensor pod.
