Some time ago now, long time gaming partner and friend, John, presented me with an early and unusual birthday present.
I have not yet been able to identify what it is or if it is histro-fantasy or real. Anyone have any ideas?
Despite this, it is a great model and one that will fit in well with my Very British Civil War/ Weird War “stuff”.
The turret kept falling off so I decided to drill and pin it in place which would allow it to turn but not fall off at the slightest touch. Big mistake.
The model had not been made with a hole to allow the resin inside to dry out. Despite endless hours under the UV light there was little improvement so I was forced to glue it in place to avoid sticky resin figures.
I took the time to also put the tracks on the right way up.
A great early (by about 49 years minus a few days!) 70th Birthday “preezzie” – thanks Chris and John for the thought – will get a lot of use.
I don’t know anything personally but google image search suggests – Roden Military 1/35 Pattern 1920 MkI British Armored Car Kit
Thanks for that will check out.
Great work Dave, has a WW1 feel to the model. The uncured resin is very strange, as it normally cures all the way through, but I guess it depends on the type of resin.
That’s a really interesting vehicle, but more importantly a great early birthday present!! 😀
That is really nice, Dave! 🙂 My guess is that it’s fictional, but based heavily around the WW1 Rolls Royce armoured car with Kegresse tracked bogies that were tried out by various people in the 1920s, (particularly by the French).
Very cool looking kit, and looks great with the paint on it, Guru! 🙂
Thanks Az. It came out far better than I expected.
