The next project, after I've finished the figures in the background of the pics



The first few vehicles for my FAI/CNT convoy



convoy leader



one of the most common forms of transport, I managed to blag four of these from eBay, they need some conversion work to backdate them, and will all get some suitable passengers!! Bonus is they are 1/55th scale, so they fit in really well with the empress figures.



and this strange looking object will eventually be



I also have some eBob Opel Blitz trucks, who will get bonnet, grill and mudguard conversions to turn them into earlier model Fords and Chevvys.


One of these!! Constructora Field armoured truck.

Great start. They are looking good already. Are the figs on the convoy leader conversions? If so the poses are fantastic. Will watch with interest.

What was the manufacturer of the Euro Coach model?

What was the manufacturer of the Euro Coach model?

A company called Sunnyside, from China. Its actually a 1950 Mercedes, but the basic shape is the same, just needs a grill change, different wheel centres, and a little bit of modification around the front end. I'm going to add luggage racks, plus mattress armour to the models, and one may get an upper deck added too!!!

I have a Corgi Bedford coach somewhere too, need to find it and compare the size, as this model could be useable as well.
