Nice looking so far. Here is my suggestion for the loading system: [link]

That looks great.. I like the tilting gantry crane in particular.
I'm not sure I'll be able to fit the pulpet style bolters, but I'll try. Everything else looks like stuff I could build without much trouble, so I'll see how close to your sketch I can get.

This is of course, only a suggestion, so you can choose any ideas you find fit.
I went with the pulpit style bolter positions because I found the thing looking visually unbalanced, with all the stuff overhanging the back, but that's only my opinion.
Yeah, I had no visual reference for scale in your pictures, so I extrapolated from your other models. I hope I wasn't too far off...

It's close enough, but I might not be able to fit that elevation gear and seat along the side of the gun, might have to put that somewhere else.
The rules only allow one HB, but I will probably build that one in pulpit form, and reserve that hull space for an engine instead. Might look interesting with intakes and exhausts up front.

In that case, maybe you could fit the bolter only on the right side, like it was on the M7 priest and in the left position you can have a larger 'tub' with a telemeter and the elevation mechanism behind it.
And yeah, this is also what I was thinking, engine in the front right with driver's position front-left.

Something like that. We'll see what I will end up doing once I get there.

Ok, can't wait to see it finished.
