Paint still drying, not quite finished yet, but this is a phenomenal model. Completely compatible with Copplestone/HLBS

Only too happy to oblige Professor!

thanks a lot!! that looks really very compatible. Please sorry for my ignorance, who makes that lovely car?

Force of Arms: www.forceofarms.co.uk I met the guy at Partizan, and he's a really lovely guy. He doesnt have a great website, but the car is listed on the 1919-39 sheets. Its a pity there arent more pics, as I'm sure a lot of this stuff would be compatible. Worth getting a few more methinks!

Impressive car... and figures!

Wish I could paint like that.

Ignatieff · « **Reply #9 on:** June 06, 2008, 07:15:38 PM »

So do I. I can paint vehicles, but I'm afriad I pay others to paint the figures

Prof.Witchheimer · « **Reply #10 on:** June 06, 2008, 07:23:13 PM »

well, impressive job on that car!

btw, I just discovered on the first pic a slogan. Actually it's WW2 one and means "Crush the Fascist Creature"

If the car is going to be a White Russians one , it would need only a small correction, swap from fascist to red

so:
Бей красную гадину!

Prof

I dont know where I would be without you!

The decal is from Brents Coy B lot, and it was from a 'Red' decal sheet, so I knew I was playing with fire on this one. Thank you for letting me know. I was kind of hoping it was a 'save the motherland' type of thing, but not surprised that its not.

By the way, do you know anyone who does white decals, and preferably ones that are a wee bit more robust than these ones (they are pretty flimsy and rub off very easily).

thanks

Prof.Witchheimer · « **Reply #12 on:** June 06, 2008, 07:37:00 PM »

Now I recognize that. I've already told to Brent about his slogans, it's not his fault, unfortunately he had some bad advisers. Unfortunately never heard of anyone else making RCW decals.

Ignatieff · « **Reply #13 on:** June 06, 2008, 08:57:05 PM »

No worries, it will happen eventually......

Hi Ignatieff,

Great model you have painted up. Love the extra detail you have gone into. I'm a real fan of armoured cars which have loads of character.

John Bruce of Force of Arms is a lovely fellow and I've many a model from him and no complaints. Actually, this armoured car will fit right into a new period being developed by Anglian miniatures on the Italo-Abbyssinia campaign.

Prof, I did send Lon a magazine article from WI on Soviet slogans for WW2 to be forwarded to Brent to make up if he so wished. Anyway its good that we have you here!
