Thread: More scratch builds: Armoured Cars!

    Default More scratch builds: Armoured Cars!

    In preparation for an Over The Trenches mission, I have seen fit to unleash my burned-out elves (escaped from Clipper's*) making some armoured cars.

    One Erhardt EV/4 (which I am not so pleased with) and one Rolls Royce armoured car (that turned out quite well).

    [* Even the burned-out ones do some good work, and they love the R&R. They should be well enough to return to duty in time for the WWII models!]

    The base size is the same as an aircraft base.

    Yes, they are balse (with some card used for fenders).
    I went with full 1:144 scale. I had messed around with going closer to 'ground scale', but I didn't want them to be only 6mm long. Also toyed with some other scale in between, but I didn't want to introduce yet another model scale into the mix. The planes at 1:144 are just a representation anyway, so I decided to do the same with the cars. I'll put them on a standard size base for play.

    Nice set of pictures Jon.
    I could have done with those armoured cars when we did the "Over the Trenches scenario".
