James (H.M. Stanley) gave me a rather spiffing Empress SCW truck a couple of weeks ago and I splashed some paint on it at the weekend.

Nice truck but not one of ours though :)
-
Mmm... James said it was and it was in an old box of yours. Maybe he can chip in later.

Looks like it's meant to be a Bedford OY or OX, a British WW2 vehicle. Ever so slightly too late for SCW unfortunately.

Excellent, it can join my Desert Rats instead :)

Interesting. I'd have sworn ....
Force of Arms perhaps?

And a very nice PJ Paul!

Oh that's good news. Would hate to see a nice paintjob be all for nothing.
Of course you can also just use it as a proxy in your SCW game and pretend it is something else. :)

I believe so. Just had a look on their site. It's actually depicting the civilian pattern Bedford 30cwt the wartime one was based on, so is totally kosher for SCW.
Sorry for spreading wicked lies! ;)

lol lol
Thanks for clearing that up. I probably picked it up at the same time i bought some FoA Asaltos. The truck had been languishing in my unpainted SCW pile for some time until a certain pair sparked the project into life again recently with CoC/SCW ;)
-
Thanks chaps, thread title updated accordingly.
I'll definitely also be using it with my Indians now that I know it is a Bedford.

Lovely paint job Scrivs! I particularly like the way you got the glass to work....any chance you can give us the color palate of how you produced this beauty...I have a number of SCW FoA trucks prepped awaiting paint.
Cheers
Happy Wanderer

I paint a brown line at the bottom of the windscreen and a dark blue line across the top. Paint successively lighter lines of blue until you reach the brown, paint the interface between the blue and the brown with a thin white line. Paint some very thin white diagonals.
Finish off by painting a thin black line all around to tidy up any 'mess'.
