WW1 Project with scrathbuild vehicules & equipments

[nervisfr]

To follow my new topic WW1 Project with Wargame Atlantic, i add this topic to speak about the WW1 vehicules i 'll use for my skirmish games with FFoL.

i found in my attic a stock of old plastic toy cars of the early 1900's (1/43 or nearly).
They are from Guisval, a spanish manufacturer of the 60s-70s

here is the first relooking WIP :

Cool looking vehicles, they appear to be rather tall do you have a picture by a figure for a size reference?

[nervisfr]

i'll take a picture for a comparison scale but i think they are smaller than a true 1/43 and fit perfect with a classical 28mm.

i have done a scratch with a car to turn it into a truck with bit parts from a western wagon...

giving this :

Comparison scale of a grey truck (scratch) with a 28mm WA German on a 25mm slot .
the green one looks bigger but it's because it is closer 
Tney fit very well with 28mm



Guisval is available on ebay/vinted and can be found for cheap, after some research
