Fantastic! My local mob, the Pembrokeshire Yeomanry (then a horse/civvy tractor-drawn Volunteer Field Artillery Regiment), privately purchased an Austin 7 for use as a light recce car/OP vehicle in the mid-1930s and since finding that out I've been wanting one for my Pembs Yeo VBCW force.

I'm glad you like it.
Ewan I honestly don't know .I just got a text saying they're cast and there will be some for my record at the show.(normally translates to Have you thrown any paint at the yet so we can use the pictures.)
Mind you since Sabot has managed to paint the tank crews before I've seen them cast it could just be me slightly out of the loop as usual.
Right back on track. No pun intended (but it feeds in nicely
). I've always had this image at the back of my mind.
I'm quite tempted to build the Dragon and have that as troop carrier in the follies.

No problem.
Are you not tempted to do a Burford-Kegress troop carrier

I have considered one . However its too short lived and specific,to have much appeal (for me)
For now my infantry transport is a couple of Thorneycroft's from the my WW1 range.
For personal use I'll resculpt a crew for the 'Universal' universal carrier( a hybrid master that has the common features of three marks of carrier) if of course I can persuade Simon to let me chop up a master casting.(this is why the dragon is a quick and feasible model
)

More great work. The Carrier is spot on.
A lot going on at present but exciting and terrific stuff to find its way onto tables.
The AFV Crew that I painted went straight back to the lads within three days for advertising and display. I pick up my set tomorrow. Hopefully, I will be picking up a few other pieces too. 😁

The Light Dragon, Scout Carrier and Machine Gun Carrier are essential for '37-'40 and while the latter two exist, they aren't easily available in the UK (AGN in Canada). The Universal nearly everybody does, not that you haven't done a good job of it Mark.
The Austin 'Military 7' was an inspired choice btw, top work!
*Edit* Oh, I'll drop these two acorns; 'Vickers Utility Tractor' and 'Vickers Mk. III Light Tank'.

Arlequin.
There's a few more vehicles to come
Here's a couple of test figures. The dismounted figures just need a couple of minor adjustments.
And then its onto the infantry concepts. I'm not inclined to add steel helmets at this point. As they're more useful this way. Plus its easier to add helmets to existing character's than the other way round.
