[Rich H]

Nice - looks good with all the extras.

[CapnJim]

Hmm.  I bet my Peoples' Republic of Northern Gambola could use 1 or 2 of those Landies in their army.  Who knows?  Maybe the rebels could end up with one.  Of course, how they could end up with Wombats would have to be classified....

[AKULA]

Ordered a couple of the landrovers...for starters, plus a few more packs of Infantry 

[Ultravanillasmurf]

Very nice btw. Sadly this means yet another vehicle I will feel constrained to daub in the Berlin Brigade scheme.

That we want to see.

[Ultravanillasmurf]

The Landrover + Wombat foretells a conjunction of my card and the Empress website (and much wailing from my bank manager)...

So what angles could you fire the WOMBAT mounted on a land rover (Recoiless Rifles aren't)?

I am reminded of a GDW/Frank Chadwick boxed game (the name of which escapes me at the moment) that covered conflicts over the latter half of the previous century (the century it was published). One of them(North-ish Africa) involved "jousting" Technicals charging towards each other. There was a special rule for that scenario that allowed firing on the move.

Have to manage the courage to tackle the Chieftain first. Luckily for me lockdown means I can’t pop over to Metro Hobbies to pick up some paint. Well that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it for now.

We have just released a 28mm  - 1/48 scale Soviet ZSU-23-4 'Shilka' AA tank.

Originally coming into service in 1960 this beast is still in service around the world. 

Known for its staggering fire power that can be used for ground support as well.

This model is made in resin and white metal.

That’s a beast

The landrovers arrived today - lovely crisp castings - looking forward to painting them up shortly.

Re: interiors, am guessing the same base green as the exterior, plus darkish brown for the seats?

Re: interiors, am guessing the same base green as the exterior, plus darkish brown for the seats?

That's what I'd do.  And it's how the US painted MUTTs and Humvees (the NATO tri-color ones used the green color for the interior).  I've only ever seen one military Land Rover up close and in person, and it was an Australian Defender that some guy near Park City, Utah had sitting out by the street for sale a few years ago. Same - interior was the tan exterior color, with green-brown canvas.  I actually considered buying it, but my rational side kicked in...

[Blackwolf]

The Shilka is a must have

[Ultravanillasmurf]

That is a great paint job.

[Paul @ Empress Miniatures]

That is a great paint job.

Many thanks

So...not that I’ve got an insatiable habit that needs a fix...but what’s next in the release pipeline?

Yes, all the ones I've driven had interiors the same ORIGINAL base colour as the outside, whether green or airfield yellow.  That however meant that I drove at least one that was canary yellow on the inside and green on the outside! 

All the seat cushions I saw were black 'pleather'.
