Griffon Project Update



I was looking at some pictures on the internet of my intended result for the Griffon project: a M106A4 Mortar Carriage. I decided that the current design of converted Griffon I had did not fit well enough, so I found my rhino top-hatch doors and got to work.

I had to cut the doors apart, as I had initially glued them together. I also reduced the length of the barrel. Furthermore, I fashioned a simple bipod from cut sprue pieces, and mounted the weapon to the floor with a piece of poster-tack. I feel a lot better about this version of the Griffon I have converted, as it more accurately conveys a mechanized heavy mortar to me. I get tired of seeing the same old conversions on chimera hulls, so I thought I would try this one differently. Well, there you go. Comments, questions?

Until next time,
