Title: SCW armoured bus
Post by: Zheleznjak on 02 February 2013, 11:04:34 PM: Hello!

My first attempt to paint a vehicle in 1:56 scale. Bus for my anarcho-syndicalists militia.

I really need to dig mine out, give it a proper paint-job...and find a use for it. Post-appocaliptic perhaps...hmm.

Good weathering and paint runs though, I like it. :)

Nice work on the model but this post made me laugh.

@ OP - you might want to do a wee bit of research on the period. I highly recommend Anthony Beever's Battle for Spain (particularly the revised edition)

Its a fantastic period to game, have fun

Post by: Arlequín on 04 February 2013, 05:24:28 PM: There were some real 'Flash Gordon' style vehicles knocking about. If you've got a few hours to spare this blog (http://vehiculosblindadosdelaguerracivil.blogspot.co.uk/) has photos of a fair few of them and lots of other stuff besides. It's in Spanish, but you're only going to look at the pictures any way.
