Wonderful stuff with a great colour scheme. This is very inspirational.

So where and when I am going to find the time to transform my bunch of cars into something less toy looking.  :'(

Oh what a thesaurus of inspiration and details:


For crew etc, my humble suggestion:
Company B has some interwar vehicles and few crew figures:
 http://homepage.mac.com/brentdietrich/companyB_models_interwar.html
Sloppy jalopy has a driver in working "uniform":
http://www.sloppyjalopy.com/
[select :figures"]
and I think that brigade games has Ford T driver in three versions suitable for bolsheviks, whites etc.
Alas, I cannot find the link, so, maybe are now OOP?

and here some german driver and a passenger that might be handy:
http://www.brigadegames.com/Kubelwagon-Crew-Officer-driver-frauline-Mimi_p_947.html

Since I do not own any of them, I cannot recommend anything about suitability, size and fitting
As for conversion, I think that some WWII figures might also be used but suitably converted. Another humble suggestion add a couple of motorcycle despatch riders from GWM. they will enhance the absolute amazing icon.

All I can say is WOW!!!! :o
They were all drawn to the Keep; the soldiers who brought death; the father and daughter fighting for life; the people who have always feared it; and the one man who knows its secret....
