    Great! Did you know the Belgian army send some "Minerva" armoured cars to Russia to help the Tsar? ( hint , hint )

    Seriously that's a very nice little model Michal!

    Superb Michal.
    I was just reading about Samsons Armoured car unit about half an hour ago. What a coincidence.

    Rob,

    I think ths article could be a nice source of info

    http://www.rrec.org.uk/Cars/Rolls-Ro..._in_Action.php

    The article “Armoured Cars in Action” was first published in issue No 1 of The Rolls-Royce Owner October 1963, and is reproduced with the permission of the Editor.

    Just watched this Attilio.
    Also thanks for the article, I've archived it for future reference.
    Got to get some of these. I'm off to trawl the net.

    Very impressive. I truly admire your skill. You are inspiring me to add ground minis to my games. I think it's time to talk to the Mrs. about building some - she has all of the talent in our house. Well done Michal.
