Heres a question, you will have to excusse my ignorance..... How easy is it to scratch build some thing like this.... I have access to measurements and pictures as they are here in our yard, but what would be the best material to make a minuture from.... How difficult is it to do? Ive never scratch built an acurate "replica" of some thing before....

I have access to measurements and pictures as they are here in our yard, but what would be the best material to make a miniature from ... OK Paul ... Break the item down to workable modules. The barrel is fairly easy ... tube, use either brass or plastic. The hardest part is the chassis and framework, but that can built as several modules from plastic sheet of varying thicknesses. Wheels and tyres can be difficult but maybe you can use available aftermarket items, failing that, have a work with Brian Fawcett next club night, he's a whiz with wheels and tyres, maybe he can point you in the right direction for dimentions also. But as you have access to the real thing, I know you're good at making a working drawing, so, what are you waiting for?
