Pulp Armoured Car?
« on: December 26, 2007, 10:20:37 PM »
How about this beauty from 1932 for tooling about the hidden corners of the world with your hero? I must admit I've never heard of it but it certainly is attractive!  :)

Check out the main site, too, for some more excellent 3D renderings, many of which would make great Pulp or BOB vehicles.

What you are you looking at is basically a RNAS Rolls-royce armoured car from WW1. Upgraded in 1920 and 1924. Saw a lot of service, especially in colonial Africa right up until 1941.

Sorry, but it's got nothing to do with Rolls-Royce.  Two prototype vehicles were built in 1931 by James Cunningham, Sons & Company in the US.  They were powered by an 8 cylinder Cunningham gas engine and armed with one .50 and two .30 cal machine guns.

I stand corrected. I'll take one of them too (although there are no 1/48 models of the RR armoured car anywhere that I can find)

Just hold on a little while longer...Company B has at least four variants of the beast in 1/56 scale on the way!  :love:
