It certainly looks like it & I think it was cheaper when they had it!
I knew I should have bought one earlier!!!!

A slight deviation from the model itself but looking up the Armadillo lead me onto Plastic Armour (which was used in some of the Armadillo vehicles) - quite an interesting read.

Always fancied doing a Sea Lion project, though it would be nice of one of these was available in smaller scale.

If it wasn't so expensive you could even use these for modern conflicts like Syria etc.  I doubt anyone would care if you painted up the truck commercial and rusty..with welded plates over the windows etc.

The model look great.
I have Bolt action Italians (shame they not in Coats) to fight my Greek.
Plus I have Russian sailors and I don't see any problems with them.
Shame Warlord don't have a wee sale in January like other retailers, even GW use to do that.
But I buy all my Warlord through my local shop and get 10% off the price ;)
Shame and sad about pauls comments, the folly of youth it did not help.

It's good to see these additions coming out to add to the great range of figures. Is there news on any other bits they may be releasing?

I have a Smith Gun I think I purchased from Stronghold Miniatures years ago but there's always room for more goodies.

Okay guys. Please keep the comments civil and please remember that some folks do get offended by such comments even though it's not directed at them.

Thank you and good gaming.

Cheers,

Helen

To be fair, Governments 'make money', people 'earn money' :D  That said, it's a nice model, but 35 bucks is a little rich for my blood...says the guy who dropped a fortune on Otherworld minis.. :D

Sick 'em Helen.

I quite like the truck although I've got no use for it. It reminds me of Jamie Oliver's mobile kitchen built on a Bedford.

It should find use in plenty of interwar and Home Guard projects. The price is a wee bit more than I'd expect - maybe £18 or so - but not by much.

£18 would of been better, when competitors are doing trucks at £15
