Those who have regularly gamed with me know I have a large collection of WW1 armoured vehicles including Roll Royce armoured cars and Ford Model T cars representing the Australian Light Car patrol in Palestine, 1917.

Above is a British Rolls Royce armoured car which took part in the Beersheba attack. A number of armoured cars were operated in the Middle East and the Western Desert by the Australian Light Car Patrol. This vehicle is mounted with a Vickers machine gun.

When I first purchased these over a decade ago, I think from Frontline models but am not sure, the resin mold was apparently at its use by date and I was sent lots of spares to try and make up the ten that I needed. I have used these extensively in lots of games including a really fun but not PC game about rescuing the survivors of the HMS Tara by the Duke of Westminster’s armoured cars.

I had used up most of the worst bits and pieces to make some wrecked vehicles and thought that would be the end of it.

Whilst sorting out the cave recently I came across the remaining bits and was about to throw them out when by chance I decided to look and see if I could use the bits left over.

After scrounging through all of the bits and pieces I was able to make up another two vehicles. They are not wonderful but it adds a couple of more vehicles to the patrol!

The average molding just makes them look as if they have been in the field for a long time.
