The Khaki color on the Rolls Royce A.C. does look good.  Much better then the yellow that Matchbox puts on the models.  I don't know what is historically correct for what left the factory, but no vehicle in the field long looks like it did when it left the factory.

I am looking to get a few resin cars like these either from All Fronts Armor, or actually try my hand at resin casting.

As people have been asking, in addition to the Emir, who as explained above built the terrain and provided the Imperial Forces, the armoured train was built by Ingram (see previous postings of his on techniques and with more pictures). Historically the train did not play a major part in the battle and so did not get the chance to show its paces in this re-enactment.

...and I'm afraid I was the one who had to leave early and go to the football match...
