I suspect it's made up. The wheel looks like that on a MET bus, but the cab and top deck doesn't. But since that's about the limit of my knowledge I stand to be corrected. edit:- I found this picture of a Gearless bus, which looks a bit more similar to the drawing Steve

No, nothing to do with me. Similar but different, who knows who is right? He may have got the rear of the APC better than I did, but I'm not so sure about the plating around the cab. The wheel is a bit too heavy on the spokes, as is the Seabrook. The Seabrook also looks a bit flat on top around the gun. The Rolls-Royces look OK , again apart from the wheels! Steve

I didn't draw up the gun, this is the link to the ones I bought; https://www.shapeways.com/product/SB3L5GBCZ/3-pounder-x-4-1-72?option=40513481&etId=190519712&utm_source=automated-contact&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=payment-received&utm_content=7 I cut the gun off the shapeways mounting post and stuck it at an angle on the kit post, and made the shield. It's not pivoted at the right point, but if you don't look too closely it doesn't show. I've not found a picture that shows the top of the Seabrook, so I don't know if the drivers position was on the left or right. As an American chassis I'd assume the left but the drivers cupola is always on the right- did it slide across so the driver could get in and out? I do have a 3D CAD program and have done some drawings. When you upload them to shapeways you get shown how they will look when printed, and costs for the different materials. All the drawings I did were for truck wheels, but they were too fine for the print process at 1/72 scale, so I didn't carry on. Did some castings instead. Wire wheels are even more fun, but not impossible to make from scratch. Steve

Thanks for the kind words This is the third in the group, a Seabrook SPG. This is a resin kit, the gun was off scale so I used a 3D printed one from Shapeways. The Seabrooks were built in Britain

Judging by the angle piece extending out at the front of the bus body you have an earlier version than the one in the picture of 332 which has the glazed sides to the driver's 'cab'.

There's a very good read in "Samson and the Dunkirk Circus" by John Oliver, which covers the creation and use of the armoured vehicles in this thread. I've been trying to model some of them, starting with Samson's conversions of London buses to armoured personnel carriers and self propelled gun. The work was carried out in a Dunkirk shipyard. Steve
