Wouldn't this be a lovely vehicle in 1/56th scale

Used by the Asaltos in the SCW







Sigh...

Could it be that you mistakenly only linked some thumbnails? I´m getting teeny-tiny pics without any option of enlarging.

Nonetheless, that which can be seen looks splendid. Troop carrier convertible.

Another try

And the two others





Ah, that looks better...

That's not a military vehicle, it's a sharabang! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charabanc)

Just right for the works outing to Aberystwyth.

Aberystwyth, the Innsmouth of Wales.

Butlins' uniforms don't seem to have changed much then. The presence of small arms in the hands of the activity directors does perhaps explain the longevity of the holiday camp as a British institution.

[Poliorketes]

Reminds me of Keystone Cops

The SdKfz7 and 10 can also be considered charabancs. Halftracked ones to be sure but still..

Come to think of it. Wouldn't a conversion be possible?

Another try

Willie, don't get too over-excited.

I';ve got a master for this from Crouchie already, it needs a bit of tidying up, and once I get my resin casting problems sorted out, it will be put into production.

BTW, its a big bugger!!!!

[WillieB]

Me excited? Naahhhh....

Taking five more pills now. Bloodpressure almost back normal.

Life is good....

For those with a love of seaside trips in sharabangs how about this:


U.S. Coast Guard "Invader" Super-Jeep. They used them on the East Coast. Not much regular gaming to be had out of them perhaps, but could be used in Pulp U-Boat raid/espionage-type stories.

Though frankly I don't know why they bothered making a 10-seater jeep. Anyone who has seen documentary footage of the Eighth Air Force in East Anglia* knows that the 10-man crew of a B-17 easily fits into an ordinary MB/GPW anyway.



*Or been on a pub run out from an event with some MV restoration nuts.
