1:56 M1 Armored Car is coming
« on: April 18, 2015, 11:28:36 AM »
We have it here at last - or nearly, I'd better say. Decals are printed, models have been cast and we've just started box designing. We shall release it on June. Please watch some pictures of the sample model masterly painted by Bruce Murray of Ready4action:

It's a lovely model.  :)

Which has also reminded me... you were after Pre-WWII TO&Es for U.S. Army a while back Chris?

Thank you  :D
I found some fun 1930s training videos, showing the army and horse cav doing there thing. I mean they are boreing if your not into that stuff. Buy I got a chuckle seeing how some of are training is roughly the same.

If you fancy some period guff, with some great looks at period vehicles and uniforms, try In Pursuit of Honor (1995). Take the storyline with a huge pinch of salt though.
