I also created a photobucked album with various armoured cars from Germany and Russia:

And a German Revolution album:

Great, thank you very much! I have to admit that I opted against the Izhorsky-Fiat (for the time being) when I bought one of Force of Arms' very nicely done Lancias last weekend in Leeds - it's primed and slightly converted already (only put in two MGs, which is enough, and closed the other ports with plastic sheet, plus a single headlight).

But those pics are very, very tempting. Just as well I already have an Mgebrov, so I'm not that much at risk for this model, but the Izhorsky certainly remains high on my list of "want-to-buys".

Lots of Freikorps goodness (if goodness is the word I want) abounding at the mo.  From a historical perspective I find the German Revolution a fascinating period and I've always found its under-representation in interwar gaming a tad strange.  I know some see the Freikorps as proto-Nazis and thus a little controversial as a gaming subject, but this isn't particularly accurate.  Freikorps fought as mercenaries for the Bolsheviks against the Poles during Polish–Soviet War and Hitler had many ex-Freikorps leaders bumped off during the Night of the Long Knives for being too unruly.  Great stuff, anyway!
