Chààààrge!!!! (Matt/Max)
« on: March 30, 2011, 11:55:12 PM »
Lt Max handling the Lewis gun (and blowing the charge! on his bugle) and his driver Cpl Matt (steering and raising his sabre) charging the enemy lines aboard their powerful wheeled mount:

A fleamarket buy (I bought 3 slightly different looking diecast cars for € 1.50 total from a lady who clearly thought she was ripping me off  :D ).  Since I didn't want to buy (yet another) set of Copplestone downed pilots, I cut the legs from two Perry plastic ACW riders to fit'm in the car and glued the driver's peaked cap on backwards  ;) .





The Lewis gun was made from two small pieces of plastic rod and a flattened small doll's eye, glued upside down on top for the gun's magazine.  An extra fuel tank & 2 jerry cans (1/48 Tamiya) and crate from the bit box were added.

A cheap and easy build & repaint but I hope you like it nevertheless...

Good one..nice and neat as well
The Victorian Outpost

Its a new gaming place in Grimsby with new terrain and new scenery, lots of respect for all wargamers and is the best place to game in town.

Anybody who wishes to visit the venue to arrange a game then  just pm me and lets roll those dice.
