Title: Czech Legion Train and Troops
Post by: Over Open Sights on July 09, 2017, 01:55:15 PM: So, having managed to find a new image hosting site after Photobucket decided to charge for the pleasure, I am happy to share with you a collection of images of the Czech Legion train that appeared in the latest "Wargames Illustrated." Engine and rolling stock are from Sarissa Precision and figures from Copplestone, Brigade Games and Forgotten Front.

Post by: tin shed gamer on July 09, 2017, 08:10:45 PM: Being totally honest Mark.
Love the whole thing . However I'm more than side-tracked,and chuffed(no train puns intended) To see some colour on the Dunster force series 3. I thought it'd disappeared into a lead pile.
Is there any chance of a picture of it( here or pm) as its missing from my sculpts.(pic is.)
Cheers,
Mark.

They are from my Afghan project Cuprum
http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=68555.0
and the buildings are all I have in 28mm for India, Central Asia and Afghanistan.

Figures, train and armoured car are really great, Mark has done a fantastic job.

I did ask they give you a credit Mark but it never happened...so here it is:

Mark did the conversion for the Dunsterforce Armoured Car; he did a brilliant job and wouldn't take any money for it. It's a gem.
I waited until I knew it would get a top paint job.

Post by: Gary Peach on July 09, 2017, 08:45:46 PM: Really Lovely work, train is brilliant... Send pictures to Sarissa, they would love to share them.
Title: Re: Czech Legion Train and Troops
Post by: tin shed gamer on July 09, 2017, 11:57:59 PM: Cheers Smirnoff,
I wasn't fishing ,however its appreciated.(stop telling people it was free I'll starve!)

I'm glad Mark H. Painted it for you,As his colour choices alway put me in mind of Pissarro's the orchard. I was squinting at the screen trying to see what he'd made of it.
(I still need a pic).rather than taking a good look at the work on the train.

I'm intrigued by Marks blog, There's a period picture of flat bed with an Austin and what appears to be a single turret Austin? If its not then its a car I'm not familiar with(or at least not from that angle)
I think I'd be able to knock up one PDQ .it'd be an interesting addition to my eastern armoured cars.

Mark H
Interesting palette choice as always.

Title: Re: Czech Legion Train and Troops
Post by: cuprum on July 10, 2017, 08:25:47 AM: In the photo, the armored car Austin of the 3rd series. An armored car with one turret is very famous (it was assembled from various parts of the broken armored cars). But the Czechs had other Austins ... Here's an example:

By the way - flamethrowers in the Civil War were used only once. It was during the fighting period on Kakhovka bridgehead. So that the Czechs did not have them))) But they had, and often used, chemical artillery shells.
Title: Re: Czech Legion Train and Troops
Post by: smirnoff on July 10, 2017, 08:36:20 AM: Excellent thanks Cuprum
Need one of those ACs then

I was aware of flamethrows but we are not totally historically accurate at The League and I fancied doing the conversion
They normally get brewed before they start toasting things anyway

Post by: Ignatieff on July 10, 2017, 09:14:57 AM: Marvellous, splendid, wonderful. I can say nowt else. Great work. There, I've said something else. Superb!
Title: Re: Czech Legion Train and Troops
Post by: tin shed gamer on July 10, 2017, 10:18:19 AM: It was bugging the me which Austin it was.
I spent half the night looking it up . It's a series 2, apparently there's couple of series 1 knocked up too.(I never rely upon just once source on that there internet)
I'll happily knock one up it'll only take a couple of hours to remaster So I'll see if It can be cast in time for Partizan II.

Sorry Mark if its hijacked your thread .it was just a musing that's grown legs.(once I've made it ill send you one if your interested.)

Mark.

Post by: cuprum on July 10, 2017, 10:28:36 AM: This armored car was created from fragments of Austin 1st and 2nd series. I have drawings of this armored car from the Russian hobby magazine for modeling (1:35). If you want, I can send a scan.

Thats very kind Cuprum...I was responding to mark's post about knocking one up and casting it. Scale drawings a a tad grown up for me but I appreciate the offer...:)

Post by: Johnno on July 11, 2017, 01:04:56 PM: I picked up the WI issue with this wonderful train in it as well.
Truly amazing work
And I'm going to be placing an order to Sarissa...
I love the inspiration on this site but my wallet suffers lol lol

Really adds to the period to show something different like the train.
You mentioned the photobucket issue. Can I ask who you have gone with now, as I'm fishing for an alternative to photobucket ?
Many thanks
