Trucks in Chinese Warlord Armies

[Driscoles]

Hi,

I bet they had trucks, but does anybody of you have details. What kind of trucks, mobile infantry etc

Thank you
Björn

I'd say any truck of the era will do.

I'd say any truck of the era will do.

I agree.

Sloppy Jalopy do some really nice trucks of that period that look fine with Chinese Warlord stuff.

I may have mentioned it here before, but the Sloppy Jalopy models are not for the faint of heart. The end results are nice, but atrocious part fits mean a lot of filing and puttying. At least that has been my experience. Company B do a nice Model T and I am sure there are other kits out there.

Models to use for this period (all the models I've made are so I can game Back of Beyond...I'm selfish that way)


Model T long bed patrol car
Model T Scout Car
Model T Ambulance/Panel Van
Model T Stake Bed Truck
Citroen B2 Halftrack
Sutton Skunk

Stuff that spills over from RCW and why not...
Model T Armored Pickup (we offer Chinese red or white gunners...)
Model Tfc (eh, pretend it was lend lease from Poland)

Some pics of 4 of the Model T's, the Citroen, Sutton and a Holt tractor I've converted from a Sutton:


Lledo stuff works good as well.  Sloppy Jalopy has some Thornycroft J trucks as well if you ned some heavy duty stuff.

Brent,
Company B

I own a Sloppy Jaloppy thornycroft, and it's been a pain to build it!

I own a Sloppy Jaloppy Ford A lorry and haven´t got any further than the chassis since I got it in February... 2007.

Fine detail and overall looks, though.

Thank you

Force of Arms has quite a few very suitable trucks at a reasonable price.
The only thing I'm not to keen on is the fact that the windows are solid resin.
Take a look at GHM for pictures since John doesn't have any on his own website.

So do I and it has.

Got as far as Chris has and no further, need to crack on.

Here's the FOA Soviet GAZ AAA not pictured anywhere else - in 28mm.  I believe these were a licensed copy of the Ford Mod A ? - very 1930s and likely these made their way to China.

Thank you. Beside nice model and very good paintjob

@Johnnytodd,


I'd love to know how you did those windows so convincingly. I really like the FOA models- got all of their SCW tanks and ACs'- but stayed away from the truck because of their closed windows. Never was able to paint resin 'windows' so realistic as you show here.
Any chance on a small demo or explanation?

Hi,  Thanks for the kind remarks.  I painted, weathered then sealed the matte green finish - then painted the windows with a Humbrol gloss silver adding a fine black outline.

[WillieB]

Thanks very much J.

Will try this out immediately!
