crustyone Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Hi Guys, Does anyone know of a Stillbrew Chieftain in the Kent(ish) area that I could get my hands on to measure and photograph, I have a friend who is building a 3D model(computer) and he says he just can't get it right, as he's in Tasmania Chieftains are very few and far between so he can't do it himself, cheers, Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caddy Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Duxford has at least one. Slight distance from Kent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crustyone Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 Duxford has at least one. Slight distance from Kent True, but from memory Duxford has it's vehicles behind rope, makes it a bit hard to take measurements, Bovington would be better, you can get closer but I wouldn't be able to get on the vehicle and measure the Stillbrew armour.

MB1944 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 They may let you get on to take measurements if you ask and explain the reasons, it may even be outside opening hours. I have had free range at Stonehenge to take photographs before it was open for the public that day. Just make a phone call to the curator. The moral of the story is "If you don't ask you don't get."
