Many thanks to the enthusiasm of David Spensley, and the hard work of....



.....John Flanagan - an artist in metal!

(The shell is nearly complete.  The material which will be
used for the flipper can be seen in place)

The rear of the aluminium shell

The completed shell, with its stainless steel covering (and Centurion Crest)



....And after Mr Rossi's deft artwork skills - the final paint job!

Maximus...ready to roll....



The drive motors and weaponary can be seen inside.

We receive notification to appear at Elstree studios
on August 24th!
We get ready to go, to face the foes...
but wait!!!!!

We are let down at the last possible minute when we are kindly informed
that the pneumatic equipment we have been sold will not be able to withstand the
gas pressures that we intend to use.

This is despite our specifying the intended pressure from the very start.
Deciding that the equipment is
unsafe for use, we decide not to go
ahead, and postpone the project.

(The fact that the equipment was unsafe was later confimed by an independent company
who were amazed by what had happened)

We fully intend to continue with the project,
using a different supplier and will
spend the next 11 months preparing
for the 2002 local qualifying events.

We wish to extend thanks to all of our sponsors,
and everyone who advised us during the past six months...don't worry...we'll be back!!!
