Title: Rolls Royce armoured car
Post by: Bob C on October 10, 2023, 09:01:38 PM
This is the 1/35 Scale Meng kit of a Rolls Royce armoured car, started last night.
I think it wont be until it's nearly finished and the wheels are on that I'll find out if they all seat on the ground.

Hi Bob,
It looks good so far, but I'm really interested in what sort of backdrop you will use when it is finished.
Will it be a period picture or something more generic?.
Nice work, should look great when finished.

I'm reading a book at the moment called 'First Victory' and it's about the WW2 campaigns in Iraq, Syria, the Levant and Iran so you've possibilities there for a vingnette. Will be interesting whichever way you decide though.

I'm sure it will look an impressive model, after having the 'Bob' treatment.

Sprayed the camouflage, a little bit of over spray to deal with.

The armoured car is now finished, pictures look darker than the model, figures and base to finish.

Looks great. Will the base be for Iran/Iraq or just 'a desert somewhere'?
Title: Re: Rolls Royce armoured car
Post by: Bob C on August 13, 2024, 02:45:32 PM
The base is a bit troublesome, but somewhere in the desert, hopefully ready for tomorrow night.

That looks brilliant Bob.
