Shorland Armoured Car

bit more progress -





Turret is now a millimetre or so deeper - looks better

That certainly looks like a Shorland. With all the flat plates it should make a good model for someone new to scratchbuilding (no idea if you are, though).

Most of my MM collection dates back to my first childhood (well teenage years) and now my wife thinks I'm entering my second …

I did a fair bit of conversion/scratch in the past mainly for wargaming models when the market didn't have anything but not for many years -

this was just a fill-in exercise between sessions assembling these … separate links I can handle but individual track pads (2 per link) is going a bit far !




Anyway sprayed a quick coat of primer to get a better impression ...



A bit of tidying up required but its vaguely the right shape

You may be a bit rusty but it doesn’t look like you forgot the skills

I know what you mean … The fewer parts per link, the better.

Calling this done for now. I may need to build a base for it - maybe Belfast 1969?


Light/white balance went a bit funny on this one
