This is the scheme I intend to do when Company B releases their 1924 Rolls.  Even Rommel looks impressed!

Is that one also the Copplestone one, or is it a different version??

It's a Lledo Models of Yesteryear diecast in 1/48th scale, so it's bigger than the Copplestone version and matches well with 28mm figures, especially the larger WW1 British ones. You can pick them up on ebay.

No need to wait then, the one Rommel is looking at is a modified 1920 version. :)

BTW Boggler accurate or not I really do like that paint scheme, it's sexy.

This site has some good ideas:

Check out his Rolls Camo!  Nice camo job on the Polish Ford as well...
Just finished a few models like a Sutton, Ford TFC and Armored Ford.  I'll update our gallery pages as soon as I can.

Sorry, missed that! I was more concerned with the camo scheme.  Now that we're getting the Rolls, maybe we can talk somebody into a Fordson or that beast of a Crossley with the big dome turret.

The pink thing was a one-off camo used to blend in with the deserts of Aden and thereabouts in the 1960s. It can't be taken as a colour guide for British vehicles in desert schemes in all places and times.

I'm sure you knew that but we wouldn't want some other poor sod reading this and then going and painting their WWII Eighth Army vehicles all in pink! That would be funny, but cruel.

however to paint it sand with a pink and blue strip is OK as this was used in the desert in the early years.
